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.

The bathroom.

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. 🙂

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
