Hey guys,

So I just became an Established Member, so I'll guess I'll have to introduce myself. My name is Jørgen, and I'm from Norway. Just started playing golf this summer, so my game mostly sucks. But I'm having a lot of fun! I've managed to play two 18-hole rounds so far, but since I live far north the season is really short (also having a wife and kid tends to cut back on the golfing pretty well ). I've also been to a local driving range a lot, and I try to play in a Full Swing simulator once in a while.

So hi everyone!

Hello Jørgen!

As somebody who used to live in Stavanger, I enthusiastically welcome you!

And although the norsk golf season is short, you can get 3 rounds in a single day with the daylight!

Hi Dent! It's pronounced kinda like "Yergen". With a g-sound as in golf (as opposed to gin). The Ø is a scandinavian letter, and is a mix of an O and E.

Welcome; my great grandparents emigrated from Norway to Canada and I'd love to go there someday. The fact that there seems to be decent golf there makes it even better

Golfing has become more and more popular over the past 10 years. So there are a lot of courses around.

      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.
