A lack of wit and knowledge hasn't stopped me from amassing over 5000 posts. Have at it!

Awe come on... you have half a wit...

This is a clear demonstration of just how little wit is actually required.

:-P

Seriously, all you LURKERS, hop on in, there is NO WAY you're dumber than any of the rest of us!

:-)

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I would imagine it has something to do with the attitude of some of the snootier members on here.

Yeah right on! the main problem with this forum is that there's a clique of buddies that seem to run the whole thing. Say something that's out of the ordinary and the gang will Tee Off. You only have

I just miss this thread... Lurkers are you out there.... Lol


Well this thread may have finally helped me break out of my cocoon! I've posted a few times but nothing really substantial.

I have, many times, wanted to ask questions or even chime in but I guess I simply didn't want to mow anyone's grass or ask a question that's already been answered a million times.

Must say it actually feels nice to break the ice again, so to speak, as I plan to break 80 this year on regular basis (wishing hoping) as I'll have a lot more time to spend on the golf course this year with my new job (I get summers off) and a membership at a nice course near by.

So I know to break 80 there will be a lot of questions as to what I can do to improve.

I look forward to posting more and getting the chance to have some great discussions.

Cheers,

Lee

I'll pass on the snow... We just had another 25cm over the past few days. It's actually been the second coldest winter EVER since they've been recording temperatures. Yeah, it's been that effing cold. Picture this: -30 Celsius (-22 Fahrenheit)  which has been a staples this winter and that's not including windchill. Our coldest day was -50 Celsius (-58 Fahrenheit) with the wind chill. We were even colder than the planet Mars on that day... Yeah, really here's the link to prove it http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeg-deep-freeze-as-cold-as-uninhabited-planet-1.2479967

So on that note I think I'll pass on shoveling your snow lol.

Good to know there's a place I can fit right in!

Kind of why I haven't posted much. I dropped my handicap last year from a 17.5 to a 14 but funny as it may sound, I don't feel like I "know" a lot more about golf. Which is something I plan to change this year.

Heck yeah Lee, I can make an ass of myself with the best of them. Fortunately Ernest is always there to make me feel good about myself...

Looks like I'll have tom find myself an Ernest too...

I notice that there are a ton of guests on here and quite a few members that never post (even after being members for years) but cruise the site regularly. So my questions is why don't you ever put your two cents into any of the threads? Do you use the site for tips on your swing or to just listen to the rants?

Because often after I have read the earlier posts I just don't think I have anything to add.

Yep. Use this forum: http://thesandtrap.com/forum/newposts/filter/unanswered and you'll always be FIRST!

You could also repeat previous answers in a new original way, like in a scottish brogue: "gang see a fitturrr wee lad"

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 32 (12 Dec 25) - What was the Friday shootout became a practice round due to lack of enough players (temps kept a lot of the regulars home).  Used it to dial in some playing distances as I played back a set of tees to force alternate club selections.  Plenty of long approaches - every club was put into action thru the course is 18 holes. Was not a GiR day but rather nGIR (5 up and down pars).  Pin placement was tough - the smallest miss would see the ball roll just as far past or even off the green.  Was a great day of battling what the course was dealing. Overall - I finished 5 strokes over my average score of 86.
