I just checked the website for the practice ticket lottery information, and I felt like I stepped back into the 1940s.

You have to snail-mail a hand-written letter with your contact information just to receive information about the practice ticket lottery process.

I mean, I know the Masters is a bit stuffy and behind the times, but wow - let's get with the 20th century guys, let alone the 21st.

That's just how they do things. Their concession stand prices haven't been raised in like 30 years or something I think. Get a sandwich and drink for around $1.50 if I remember right. I don't mind the process. Probably cuts down on a lot of the BS spam they'd likely receive if I went to an online solution to take applications. You know you're only getting serious applicants when you require people to take time to fill out the info and mail it in. It's a one time thing too, you are on the list every year thereafter once you send it in once. Not something you have to do yearly or anything.

I've been chosen twice in the last 8 years. Alas, no letter yet this year.

You'll have a ball. First time there brought tears to my eyes. Get your hotel reservations in right now, they fill up fast and be prepared to pay a premium. FWIW, we stayed twice at the "Sleep Inn" in Aiken. About 20 minutes away.

In David's bag....

      Ahh the old classic "nobody agrees with me so I don't want to talk about it anymore"

      @anaveragehacker, you’ve been ignorant this whole time and now you’re being disrespectful. Not a great combo. You asked what the rules were and we told you. You complained about them and we told you why they were the way they are. The “who is the committee?” Question has been answered a few times. Dave and I are Rules Officials and the other people replying know the rules far better than you, so the fact that we are all disagreeing with you should say something. this thread is going nowhere and your original question has been answered several times.

      What is this committee I keep hearing about? We’re a small league playing at a county course. And these are temporary issues that may be gone in a day or two. In any case, I wish more people agreed with me. It seems that trying to convince golfers to modernize rules is like trying to change the Bible. You guys are so serious it kind of proves my point. Other sports make adjustments for  field conditions etc during lower level play. This isn’t life and death here, it’s sport. No need to keep arguing. I have my opinion and you have yours.

      TST Explores the ShotScope H4 (Stats Tracking Device) and Pro LX Rangefinder

      Yeah, I agree that some of the charts are hard to make sense of. That short game chart is showing how often a short game shot ends up within a certain distance. The orange bar is all shots, the green bar is for shots within 25 yards, and the blue bar is for shots between 25 and 50 yards. I just play around with all of it and will figure it out. I would suggest just diving in and see what jumps out and work on that.

      Struggling With Fat Shots and Dont Know Why

      PGA Tour players weight shift to their lead foot way sooner and to a higher % than amateur. I would say it is something like close to 90% lead foot at impact for PGA Tour player. For Amateurs it could be under 50%. You need to get the weight transfer over more and sooner. You can't rely on the feeling of finishing on the lead foot as validation you did so.
