Thanks 'Cipher' will check it out.

Always birdies and pars, Henry The room for improvement is vast that three lifetimes could be spent roaming the fairways,carving away at it, convinced that prefection lies just over the next rise. And that hope,perhaps,is the kindest bliss of all that golf bestows upon its devotees. - John Updike

@jbishop15 so far The Art of Fielding is great, but I had to put it on hold to finish Four Fish. I borrowed it from a friend and he wants it back. I learned about it (The Art of Fielding) from the Inside the PGA Tour with Roberto Castro. He has a website called all things that are good. He raves about this book, and if anyone is into music he has some great insights on his favorite record stores around the country. P.S. Finished LSW last week, and it was amazing. I will be posting a review shortly.

'Fielding' is really good. Glad you're reading it and are liking it. Might reread it, actually, now that I'm finally finished with 'For Whom the Bell Tolls'.

I'll be starting John Irving's In One Person as soon as I finish the last few chapters of James Michener's Space. I've said this a million times on here, but I'll say it again, John Irving is one of the greatest novelists of all time. I think he's right up there in the same pantheon as Charles Dickens. I'm so happy to be rediscovering him in recent years. In my younger day's I read The World According to Garp, The Cider House Rules, A Prayer for Owen Meany and The Hotel New Hampshire so many times the covers fell off. Earlier in the year I read Until I find You for the first time and fell in love with his writing all over again. Every time I finish one of his novels I feel as though I've become a better person with a greater capacity to love. Seriously good shit! :-P

Just started reading 'The Great Political Theories: From the French Revolution to Modern Times', edited by Michael Curtis.

Not sure how long its going to take me to get through, considering my senior year of college starts on Monday. But it'll get read one way or another.

Awesome read. Lots of information for a relatively short book.

Just finished Nixonland by Rick Perlstein and just got his follow-up, The Invisible Bridge. I'll get to that after I finish Wild Tales by Graham Nash.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      Exactly correct.   I was absolutely certain about the penalty (none here), but the bit about where they play from can be really confusing the first time you read it.  In my big paper rule book, i used colored highlighters to make it clear.  Good thing I did, at the Cascades there's little to no cell service, so using the rules app on the phone wasnn't possible.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Taking a crack it, but looks pretty clear. 11.1  Ball in Motion Accidentally Hits Person or Outside Influence. a. No Penalty to Any Player If a player’s ball in motion accidentally hits any person (including the player) or outside influence: There is no penalty to any player. This is true even if the ball hits the player, the opponent or any other player or any of their caddies or equipment. Reading further down it looks like they have to play the ball as it lies. No replay from the previous spot.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      I had an interesting one yesterday, a local qualifier for the US Senior Open, at the Cascades Course at the Homestead.  Well, first things first, the VSGA arrnged for the officials to play the Cascades on Monday at the players' practice round rate.  Its lots of fun, rather old-style (built in the 1920s).  anyway, a player missed a short putt, and (apparently embarrassed) took a step to be ready to tap the ball back in.  The ball lipped out, and hit the player's foot.  I was nearby, and they waved me over, and asked "What do we do now?"  I was pretty sure of the ruling, but asked them to wait for a few seconds while i double-checked.  I did have it correct, even though its one of the more confusing rules in the book right now.  I'll leave the correct answer out for now, in case anyone wants to guess, or research it, and post their ruling.
