I'm a former Marine and I was just wondering how many more were here. I served 13 years active duty until my wife said stay married or retire. I am still married to my wonderful wife and we have a 18 year old son who loves this sport, so I have no regrets. I didn't golf then, but wish I had. I spent 8 years in Hawaii and missed out on some great golf. I did play a couple scrambles at the Kaneohe Bay course and remember it was beautiful. I was just curious if there were any more Marines here. Semper Fi.

Once a Marine, always a Marine, right?

I'm not a Marine, but I've trained a ton of them. Besides having to talk slower and not use numbers with more than two digits it is always fun (I kid, I kid!!!)

In my bag:

Driver: FT-5, 9° stiff
Wood: Big Bertha 3W/5W
Irons: X-20 TourWedges: X Tour 52°/56°Hybrids: Idea Pro 2/3/4Putter: Black Series #2Ball: NXT Extreme/NXT Tour

      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…

      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.
