Hi all,

I am from Hungary, might sound a bit bizarre for you since 99% of you are from North America =))

I wasn't really interested in golf (or any other sport) until a friend excited me about it, so I went and bought a cheap set, and ever since I've been golfing for 2 months at least once a week.

All I can say is that golf is wonderful, and what makes it so is its versatility, its plenty little details, and the combination of physical, mental, and social activities.

I just want to say that I love your forum, its friendly environment, and the great information sharing it has.

Cheers!

I think fewer of us are from North America than you think But I don't think anyone here is from Hungary, so hello! Feel more than welcome.

I don't know much about Hungary. Do you guys have a good choice of courses? How is the weather, pretty temperate?

Keep on playing! Maybe you can be the first superstar to represent your country one day on the PGA

Guilty as charged.
I am from North America although I lived in Asia for a year and have thoroughly enjoyed visiting Europe - Ireland, Austria & Germany. Oh, and a couple of hours at Heathrow.

Welcome to the Sand Trap!

P.S. baal, you need to work on your handicap index. It looks like it's out of control!

Hey thanks for the welcome!!

Well to answer first about the golf situation in Hungary, well, it's not such a common sports here, so there are about 3 golf courses altogether around the capital, and not much more scattered around the country, but nothing compared to the density you see in the UK or the USA. The ones I've been into here are in very good condition, service is great, and the mood is friendly. Now about the weather, basically Hungary is a flat country surrounded by moutains from all sides, so the weather is mild, and not too much precipitation, so it's perfect for golf for at least 8 months a year!

About the handicap score I put... well I haven't played 18 holes yet, so I never got any handicap calculated, and since it's not optional in the UserCP, I had to put a quite high number to represent symbollically my skills for the moment =))

cheers!

      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.
