Yes. Our estimate in November was May, and the recent adjustment to mid June was just made a day or two ago. Book is 225 pages, give or take 10 depending on editing.

Here's your update.

@mvmac can confirm that the book is in the final stages of editing.

You know, I really need this book.

I'm so glad it's in the final stages of editing.

Thank you and David for all the hard work you guys put into it. :-)

God I hope you guys have like 50 pages devoted to the short game! After paying to become an oobgolf addict, and having it calculate my scramble percentage.....I am TERRIBLE! Some good months I'm looking at 17%! I'm throwing away around 10 strokes a round. I don't think my issue is in technique as I'm alway ending up on the green around where I want, but I NEVER get it inside a three foot circle. I'm lucky if I can get it inside a 10 foot circle! My issue is with the roll outs. I'm fairly certain it's because I can't read the lie and situation correctly to be able to tell how far the ball is going to roll once it hits the green. Maybe this book has information on that?

It will be interesting what you think about all this after you read the book.

Yeah, absolutely. So I just checked my month of May report. In 8 rounds my percentage was 13.5!!!! UGH!!!! Terrible. If i could just get on average within 5 feet of the hole on chips I would be ridiculously happy...

These two statements do not match.

Sure they do. For instance, I could hit the perfect chip or pitch I.e. perform the technique correctly, yet if I cannot properly recognize all of the variables the ball will roll out further than I thought or check up when I try to play the roll out thus coming up short...Sometimes Ill play the ball to roll out more from the rough like I'm told I'm supposed to do and it will check. Sometimes ill play the ball to check off of the fairway only to have it roll way past... that's the part that kills me...

Sorry to say this, but then you didn't perform a perfect chip or pitch. Part of the process is knowing how the ball will create on the green and roll out. Because part of having proper technique is knowing trajectory, spin, will the ball land soft or hard.
