I found this site by doing a little research and I am amazed at the similar circumstances surrounding the creation of golf boards. I suppose dissatisfaction with one board or another leads to many "new births" regardless of the subject matter.

Anyway, I am in a similar circumstance. I am the webmaster at www.shottalk.com Shot Talk was created as the result of shoddy administration at another GR (not the same one). I started the board last August and in the early days I was consumed by site design and not so much with membership. Today, The design is nearly done and I have focused my attention on membership, which is what has brought me here......it's not what you think...I did not come here to spam the board but hopefully to share information and perhaps a reciprocal link or two.

Whatever your feelings about your GR may be, the guy has his act together and I have been studying his technique, I actually asked him point blank how he got so many members to such a young board but he never answered me so I have had to dig deep to find some answers, I don't have them all but I think I am getting close.

SO, enough of that, I like what you all have done here, Personally, my golf game stinks to high heaven but I can't get enough of it. Last year was really my first year of playing seriously.I live in Connecticut and I joined a league, did some tourneys, got a handicap and all that, I hope to get some lessons in this season to get my short game up to snuff and the handicap down.

Cheers!

Yes, I am, as are anyone labelled "Assistant Pro." We try not to take ourselves too seriously.

Thanks iacas (could explain that screen name to me sometime?)

I tried to post some pics of my home course on the fly this morning but you have the file size set to abysmally small (35kbish). I was going to do an [img] link but they are attached to my site so I have to get them situated alone on the web somewhere and post them tomorrow. Think about that file size thing, it adds alot to the site when people can attach pics of good quality and at the same time not kill your disc storage.

Cheers!

It's currently set to 35kb for a reason. If you have suggestions in the future, a PM or an email is a more appropriate means to the end.

I see.

Ok, well I guess I misunderstood the tone that I picked up from reading the posts in the archive. My apologies. Cheers!

      Been Wondering About This Ruling for Years

      By iacas ·

      Your NPR (nearest point of relief) is where it would be to play that shot. Looks like that's on the bush-side of the cart path. You're then free to re-assess and take further relief if you want. Or an unplayable, etc. Looks like he should have dropped in the bush, or maybe slightly behind it if that is within the relief area. Oh, and you have to take complete relief.

      I hear you, that price is ridiculous. I’ve been dealing with AS pain for a recently, and it really messes with your game. I tried everything—painkillers, stretches, you name it—but honestly, cannabis helped me more than I thought. It didn’t take all the pain away, but it eased the stiffness and helped me move more freely, which is huge for golf. I could actually swing without feeling like my back was gonna snap.

      Day 245 (4 Jan 24) - Colder blustery day (temps in the upper 30’s), so I opted to work with the 7i in the back yard, hitting 30-40 yds pitches.  Stayed within pre-shot process and working smoothly thru downswing and ball.  Nice easy day reinforcing short game work in the pitch and roll arena.

      Been Wondering About This Ruling for Years

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Okay, so like 5-6 years ago a buddy of mine and I are playing golf in Nevada. Not a tournament, but we're betting 20 bucks a side. I don't think this actually affected the outcome but I'm curious how you all would have ruled this.  We are playing a hole in which on one side of the concrete cart path is the grass on the other side is rocky, desert. My buddy hits his tee shot which comes to rest on the other side of the cart path under a prickly ugly bush. He's right handed but he turns his 7-iron upside down and addresses the ball left handed, with the club upside-down. Then he says "I get relief because I'm standing on the cart path."  "Okay" I say.   Then he drops the ball (from the shoulder as this is pre-2019) on the "good" side of the cart path within 2 club lengths no closer to the hole.  I believe he should have had to hit from the crappy side of the cart path, by dropping the ball within 2 club lengths no closer to the hole.  My contention is the nearest point of complete relief is in the desert. His contention is as long as it's within 2 club lengths no closer to the hole he can drop anywhere he wants. Who's right?  Okay, now the kicker. He declares his ball in play. Now admittedly it is less than 2 club lengths from where it came to rest and isn't any closer to the hole. Then he addresses his ball (7 iron again) right handed this time and declares he gets relief again, because he's standing on the cart path. ... Which he is.  He drops again, and now he's on the fairway, not even in the rough.  So, with two drops and no stokes he's moved from under a bush in the desert, to the rough, to the fairway.  Here's a picture which may help.   So he hits his 7 iron on the green. No penalty. I guess he may be right, but it's always felt shady and we've poked fun at each other over this incident for years now.  What do you all think?
