I've been meaning to learn AimPoint for about ever now. I was discussing this with @iacas and came up with an idea for a group meeting in March. 

Probably near the end of March to allow the students to start practicing it shortly after learning it. (I think AimPoint works in the snow but not as well.) I want to kick off the 2022 season using AimPoint. 

I'm assuming most of us would prefer a Saturday or a Sunday. With @iacas's schedule that would mean at or after 2:00 on Saturday or after 12:30 on Sunday. (He has juniors until those times.)

Three questions:

  1. Would you like to participate in an AimPoint class at Golf Evolution in late March?
  2. Would you prefer Sunday afternoon or Saturday late afternoon? 
  3. I'm thinking March 26-27th - ish. Is that weekend okay or would you prefer a different one? 

Group meet ups are always fun. Let me know what you all think.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Would love to but don’t think I’ll be back in the NE until May timeframe. I did AimPoint Express a year ago and I think it has been a huge help for me. Been wanting to do a refresher.

I would love to take an Aimpoint class. I would assume that this would be done on an actual green that has varying degrees of slope, or am I wrong?. Saturday or Sunday afternoon is fine. I can put that weekend on my calendar.

Golf Evolution has an indoor green with lots of varying slopes.

I was there recently, which is why I asked. Looks fairly flat to me. I would think that a place like the practice green at Whispering woods would be good where you can really see the fall line.

Thanks for the link, I wondered what was in the lower level. Due to the signage I dared not go down for a peek 😅 Members Only

The green rug area in the front, around the stairs that go to the lower level, is the green. There are lots of slope areas. IIFC, there is one area that is around a 4 and most area between 1 and 3.

I first learned AimPoint at Golf Evolution. You learn the method and then you can take it to any practice green you want.

It was built specifically to teach AimPoint. It’s got 0-6% slopes.

One of the 30 foot putts breaks 7 or 8 feet.

so if you think it’s flat then you probably need to learn AimPoint. 🙂

    • I mean, looking at the leaderboard, several other kids shot in the 60s. No? Miles Russell is a high school kid. He made the cut on the KFT as a freshman.
    • "This video features a roundtable discussion hosted by Michigan Golf Live regarding a controversial high school golf score of 60 (11 under par) recently posted by a student at Anchor Bay High School. Key Discussion Points: The Controversy: The score has generated significant skepticism among the golfing community, with viewers and industry experts debating its legitimacy. The host notes that despite multiple invitations, the Anchor Bay coach declined to join the program to discuss the round (5:38). Historical Context: Guests, including former coach Rob McIntyre and rules official Terry Kildday, reflect on a 2018 controversy involving the same schools, where suspiciously low regional scores were not replicated at state finals, causing significant frustration for competing teams like Rochester Adams (10:40, 13:10). Scrutiny of Scorekeeping: The panel emphasizes that the modern IWR (I Wanna Maker) app system, while helpful, lacks the accountability of traditional walking scorers. There is a consensus among the guests that high school golf often lacks rigorous rule enforcement, leaving too much room for "creative" scorekeeping or simple misunderstandings of the rules (24:48, 54:43). Probability vs. Talent: While the guests acknowledge the possibility of a "round of a lifetime," they point to statistical probability tools suggesting such a score for a typical high school player is mathematically extreme (7:43, 31:32). Conclusion: The participants generally agree that while they wish to celebrate exceptional youth athletic achievements, the lack of transparency, verification, and willingness from the involved parties to address questions makes it difficult to definitively endorse the record. The conversation serves as a broader call for higher standards, better education on the rules of golf, and more proactive oversight in high school tournaments to "protect the field" (1:02:22)." I was curious about the statical improbability, so I asked it to go more into that part. I know the USGA has probabilities, but that takes into account the differential.  "The host explains that they utilized a mobile app designed to analyze the statistical probability of golf scores to evaluate the 11-under-par round. (6:15 - 6:26) Because the student had no established scoring record (with only a single posted score of 83), the team ran several hypothetical scenarios through the app's filter: 15 Handicap: The app determined the score was practically impossible. (7:13 - 7:16) 5 Handicap: Testing the score for a 5 handicap yielded the same outcome as the 15 handicap. (7:20- 7:26) Scratch Golfer: When they ran the calculation for a scratch golfer—someone who should theoretically be capable of playing at a high level—the app estimated that such a person would shoot an 11-under-par round only once every 5,214 years. (7:30 - 7:53)"
    • Well what does it say? Paste it here!
    • Yea, I used YouTube’s Ai to summarize the video for me into bullet points. 😊
    • I mean, the video is an hour long, so… @dennyjones, any time stamps to check out? 🙂 Cuz otherwise…
