Thanks Trappers!

Cinderella Story and Who's Your Caddy are humorous light reading, I enjoyed them, Golf For Enlightenment was to deep for me, I like biographies or humor.

If you like to read about golf, all of them are good. The only one I have not ready is Deepak's book. Bill Murray's book is pretty funny, although I thought it could have been better. Bob Hope's book is pretty funny. "Who's Your Caddy" was very funny. And I love John Feinstein's golf books - "Open" was very good, although I have to say "Caddy For Life" is his best. Also look for some of Dan Jenkins' books - especially, "Dead Solid Perfect", which is a great, fun read. I got it at used book store and they had a few copies, but there weren't under golf, but Fiction.

Thanks for the thoughts so far guys.

I am reading Who's Your Caddy right now, At the Tom Lehman essay and this is a knee slapper.

I love it.

Great way to kick off my golf reading.

I did pick up all those other books as well.

Open looks very stuff-shirtish. lol

      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.
