I see your point, but after playing with the majority of these guys in December, their listed handicaps are pretty accurate.

Nah, Tristan was only saying (I think) that the people he met were playing their tournament in March, then a couple people questioned him and I also "fanned the fire" simply because I already know tha

Yeah exactly lol.  I do have his number....  Tell him you're a good friend of Dana and Grant's and ask why he's trying to copy the S&T; swing

Yeah, if it was a serious competition, then, of course, that would be silly.  But it's just for fun, and like Tristan said, most of us have met and played together and can verify that these numbers are legit.

The only thing I'm not sure of is how to calculate how many strokes Beachcomber and Pakoh get for their "bad" and "..." handicaps. :)

P.S.  Looking forward to seeing you at our next one!

Not me, sorry.  I've only played out in that general area once (with Shawn at Goose Creek Golf Club)

I just know that that area is not more than a 60 minute drive for me, and shouldn't be much more than that for Tristan either ... if he can make it. :)

I hope so!  Don't know if I mentioned it before; I'll be transferred this summer to the exercise control group (called Ops Group) at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin (40 miles north of Barstow).  That's why I said before that I'm "sort of" moving to SoCal.  The reality is that there isn't an 18 hole golf course within about 100 miles of that place, so whatever golf I do play will be between Big Bear, San Diego, and LA (all within a 3 hour drive according to Google Maps, and I have a fast car ).

I have no idea how much time I'll actually have.  The entire schedule is built around a 26-day training rotation each month, 10 months per year.  That means that on a normal month I'll get 4 days off--in a row--each month.  The problem is that with sequestration, they've already "announced" (the CSA said so, but it's not on the calendar yet) that all but one of the training rotations are cancelled for the rest of the year.  I could have a whooooole lot of time on my hands.

We'll see...

I don't think we're going to worry about the "even-ness" of the groups. People are never happy with that.

Talked with my manager at work today and the extra day off is no problem so I will definitely be there on Friday.

Ok so we are on for the 5SK school at the Van Buren Golf Center.  What time works for those attending?  Mid morning, noon?

3pm would give us enough daylight and we could go eat afterwards?

Either that or 8am or 9am or so, I'd think. Noon in San Diego doesn't sound wise, but I don't live there so...

That sounds good... the suggestion for later in the day also works... Whatever works best for everybody else will be fine with me.

I'm good anytime but if I had to pick my preference I think I'd go with mid morning. We'd miss morning traffic and be home in time for dinner. :). But like I said, anytime will work, whatever works for all.

Early or late work for me. I'd just prefer not to kill a whole day working around a mid-day thing. Mike and I need time to go pick up chicks. :)

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
