That looks amazing, and signing up for this would solve some pretty cool pieces for me, both for golf and because it'd be cool to see Erie and meet Erik.  It would also be great for improving my golf.   I don't know much of what I'd be able to travel, if at all, in the second half of 2022 (I know I mostly won't be able to in the first half, barring some narrow windows in which I might be able to).   If a spot is still available, I have to figure out if I'll be able to get out there.

FWIW I mailed off a mighty large check today… so I'm not closing this yet, but I will close it at some point. I've not yet determined final pricing, but it won't be very close to being as inexpensive as this deal.

And remember, for local people and semi-local people (worth driving over for a day), you can split your sessions apart by months if you want.

I've not yet added a few local golfers to this list, either. (Maybe I never will.)

I've got a page (still a work in progress) now on the Golf Evolution site for the GEARS. As you can see, I've set the prices pretty low, but y'all doing this deal are getting a pretty good deal: about 25% off.


BTW, here are your updated odds of the deal in the first post ceasing to exist by these points in time:

  • When the GEARS is installed (well before Thanksgiving): 99.99%.
  • The end of October: 75%.
  • One week from today: 50%.
  • This Saturday: 25%.

Confirm your spot in the lineup accordingly, those who have not already done so. 🙂

So am I! I'm watching a bunch of training videos right now. For example…

There are commonalities about when the best players tend to reach peak grip speed (it's generally surprisingly early in the downswing), for example. I honestly think the GEARS site does a disservice in listing what it measures because the list is a LOT longer than what’s listed.

I'm going to begin accepting the payments now. I'll put a little 💰by your name on the list when you've sent payment.

This can be done…

  • In person with cash.
  • Via PayPal (https://paypal.me/iacas should work)
  • Via a check mailed to me.
  • In person via a credit card.

I like the first and third, because there are no fees, but the second and fourth are far more practical. 😄 Please, by the end of the month, if you could. If you have a special circumstance that we talked about before, just DM me.

To those still waiting to join the list, the days are numbered. 😄

Oh, and since the deal is still available to others, if they copy the list above, I'll just keep adding the "paid" symbols to the last post I've made in the topic.

Another payment made. If you plan to pay by check, send me a DM (and if you don't know my address just ask). I'll add a different icon ( ha ha!) to your name.

There is still time to get in on this deal, and you can ask anyone who has worked with me — I'll go above and beyond to make sure you feel you've gotten what you expected or more for your money with my time, the quality of the information and the instruction itself.

I'll add everyone here to CoachNow for ongoing work, too.

I've updated the list with some recent snail mail deliveries. 🙂

There's still (a little bit of) time to get in on this if you want it. You'll enjoy, and get a lot out of, your time in Erie with this.

    • I don't think it is concept that is hard to grasp. Most people who complain find an S&D penalty too harsh for a lost ball that is presumably inbound/in a non-penalty area.  I suspect because in other sports, when you loose a point, you loose only THAT point. While that is an apples to oranges comparison, to the casual golfer it's a bit of system shock. 
    • I don’t understand why this concept is hard for people. If the ball is lost, it is lost. It doesn’t matter where they think it should be, or whether they feel like it should be lost. The bottom line is they don’t have a ball in play. I play with some people that will just drop with one stroke (if they even take a stroke at all). Frankly, I don’t care since it’s not a competition, but if they go bragging at the bar later that they shot “85” because I will call them out on it every time.
    • I played in Open Qualifying about 25 years ago. I got to the last hole - I shan't share my score, but it wasn't good. It's a long uphill par 4 with the clubhouse just long left of the green. The clubhouse is out of bounds. I hit my second shot left and it got a firm bounce. Get up there and the clubhouse has a patio. Between the patio and a grass is a little channel filled with pebbles. In that channel is my ball. Channel is in play, but hardly ideal. About 8 inches behind my ball also in the channel is a sprinkler head. So I asked an official who happened to be on the patio whether I got relief or not. He had me set up to it and take a backswing. My club hit the sprinkler head (harder than I would have liked). He asked me to do it again (side note - WTF?) and I hit the sprinkler again. He begrudgingly gave me relief and I dropped it on the grass, pitched on the green and missed from about 8 feet. Holing it would have allowed me to break a certain score threshold I'd rather not flirt with. Following year, I played same course, same event and I played a LOT better. I birdied 17 to go back to even par for the day. Friend of mine told me it looked like even was playing off for last spot, but birdie on 18 would get me through (this was local qualifying, so through to final qualifying). I hit my drive in the heather right, went for it from there and pulled it heather left and wound up making double to not be in the play off (which wound up being about 8 people for 2 spots). But I digress - anyway, as I walked off 18 green I walked over to the patio where the scorers were and noticed that they had painted a white line on the grass next to that Channel, so they fixed my issue from the previous year, albeit in a way that would have been much more detrimental to my score.
