Hello, it's great to see a solid community of golfers. 
I'm a fairly new golfer, been playing on and off occasionally over some years, but very inexperienced and looking to learn as much as possible, improve my game and get out golfing more often.

I look forward to reading through some of the topics here to learn and understand more.

 

Thank you

Welcome! I’m one of the pros at Lake Padden in Bellingham. Where do you mostly play? Were you able to get out during our recent warm weather spell?

Hey, thank you! I wasn't able to get any rounds in but I did go hit some balls at Lake Padden on Saturday morning. It's great to see the nice weather starting to show up.
I have yet to play at Lake Padden, I look forward to playing there, it looks like a very nice course. So far I've only played at Raspberry Ridge in Whatcom County.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
