Hear ye, hear ye! We are about to begin the awards ceremony for the last month, December, of 2017.

Kickstarter of the Month

The Kickstarter of the Month is the member whose post or topic receives the most replies. 

Normally, we choose the golf-related topics here, but Star Wars has such a pull over the world that we're going away from that soft rule for a month and awarding the Kickstarter of the Month award to @saevel25 for:

 

Rookie of the Month

The Rookie of the Month is the member who joined within the last 60 days who receives the most "skins" (reputation) within the preceding calendar month.

This month, the winner is… a tie! Between @ozzynator and @Ping g! Congratulations!

Member of the Month

The Member of the Month is the member who receives the most "skins" (reputation) within the preceding calendar month.

For December, 2017, and the third straight month… that member is @billchao!

Congratulations to all of the winners!

Hey, @MarvChamp, @dennyjones, and others… you may want to check out some other topics, like, say, this one…

And then, since that thing is lonely down there… do some claiming:

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Day 254 5-4 Arms off chest in backswing and downswing. Short swing, pause and then hit.  Hit foam balls. Keeping arching of wrist a focus as well.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.
