Bob Gibson made MLB lower the mound in 69' I just think a player that forced a professional league to change the rules because of "his" dominance is very impressive.

It was way more than just Bob Gibson.

1968 was "The Season of the Pitcher." And by that they meant a generic "the" not "Bob Gibson the Pitcher." 🙂

Across MLB the season-long ERA was below 3.00!

Yaz won the batting title at 0.301. Seven starters had ERA under 2.0.

Yes, AL. He won a batting title.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Range day working with the 6 & 7 irons.  As we have grass and it’s been beat to death, I hit off short tee pegs.  Solid session with the irons - even if there were a few wonky hosel rockets with the 7 when I did not stay in the process.  Finished the session with some work with the driver, focused on setup and tempo.

      Day 27 - 40 minutes of chipping work; range was closed this morning. Worked on lofted chips with 58, bump-and-run with 7 and 9 irons.

      Congratulations.   It sounds like a ton of work but I'm sure it is rewarding.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By DaveP043 ·

      Well now the ordeal is over, and I'm back home.  If anyone is interested in doing one of these workshops, I recommend it, but its a lot of information in a short time frame.  Its been compared to taking a drink of water from a fire hose.  A lot of the "enjoyment" comes from the personalities of the instructors.  In my previous workshops, I've had one instructor who was good, and the other was exceptional.  This time, both instructors were exceptional, as was the "coordinator", who also served as instructor (his first time) for a couple of segments.  You have almost certainly heard each of the instructors on telecasts as the "rules voice", and have quite possibly seen coordinator-Jay on the USGA rules of Golf videos on Youtube and the USGA website.   A nice surprise, I got my exam results in an email earlier today.  I guess it helps that our class was held maybe 300 yards from the USGA satellite office in Pinehurst.  I'm really pleased, I improved on my past performances, and can claim the "Expert" title again.
