Glad you're liking it.  I was sending it out as a pdf file that is downloadable, but from what I've heard, that doesn't offer the flexibility of adjusting size, etc.  It's also available through Barnes & Noble.

A number of golfers requested the book, a few really liked it, so I'm anxious to hear what the others think.  If anybody else is interested in checking it out, the free book offer is still open, at least until the end of this week.

Thanks, Spike, good to hear it was worthwhile. I wrote it for golfers so I wanted it to have plenty of golf action, not just a golf setting.  Cheers.

Have just finished the novel, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Very hard to put down!

Looking forward to the next book in the series?!

Thanks again, Gary.


Thanks for the kind words, Pourputt.  I've been thinking about a sequel but haven't locked in on a compelling story yet.

I really liked the book.   It is fast paced and compelling.   The reader is wrapped up in the lifes of the characters and you feel as if you personally know them.    This book is highly recommended.

Thanks for giving us the opportunity to preview it.   I'm sure it will be a great seller.

Like the others, I'm awaiting the sequel.

Thanks, Denny.  I hope I can prove you right about it being a great seller, but it's a long haul when you self publish.  That's why I'm grateful for this forum and the people who are helping get the word out.

I thought it was outstanding - a real page turner with great characters and story. Well worth the $ - I know Gary's been providing free copies but I'd encourage anyone interested to pay for it... gotta support our fellow Sandtrappers. :-)

(And it may be coincidence, but I played 3 of my best rounds in years after reading it - I think some of the mental game advice from the Jack character sunk in.)

Almost done with it. Great read, no BS. I like how it mixes the golf part with the murder mystery part seamlessly with no cheesiness. Definitely recommend yo!

      Day 91 (1  Aug 25) - Pre-tournament practice round today…had some great up and downs for par saves.  Rain came in this evening so it will be a totally different playing course tomorrow.

      Ovvio Shafts (from GEARS)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Jesus, when he keeps saying scissoring moment, ugh that is a horrible sounding phrase. Just makes me cringe. It doesn't help my mind went to Mr. Garrison from South Park. 🤣 If you know you know.  I think for the most part, golf shaft companies have gotten this figured out. They ask questions like, what tempo do you swing at. The whole scissor terminology sounds like they want to stand out a bit.  Yea, golfers load the golf shaft differently, and different bend profiles can help out. I do think swing speed matters as well. You probably want a golf shaft with lower torque if you swing faster.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Played 9 holes, shot a 39.  Kind of got around. Everything between the trees, so in play. Short game was rusty. Got to get back on that. Greens were stupidly slow because they got a lot of rain yesterday and probably couldn't cut them down. Usually in the summer they are firm and pretty fast for how sloped they are. Got to work on face to path a bit.

      Physics

      By GolfLug · Posted

      We agree here. Top of the car has a forward force, bottom of the car experiences a backward force via the braking. Both about the COM (somewhere in between). Result is a rotational flip. Since the forward force is still higher the car probably still globally travels forward. Sure, pretty basic. You really think there are deliberate twist forces applied? Like forcing the club head forward and simultaneously forcing grip end in the opposite direction? Heck I don't think we even slow down the grip end deliberately let alone force it the other way. Sorry, if I am missing something here. The orientation change is simple incidental because there is different rate of global movement of grip vs. clubhead throughout the swing. I also happen to think the best swings have the least amount of differential movement between the two end in the impact zone.  In my defense, I never thought one could do justice in covering all aspects of a golf swing in a paragraphs or two to begin with. Especially not with grade school physics..😜 Okay.

      Boulder / Denver Colorado Course Recommendations?

      By cedrictheo · Posted

      Wow, @DeadMan that is such a helpful breakdown of what’s around. Really excited to check a bunch of these out. Thank you. Will definitely go to Walnut Creek. Will also try and get a commonground tee time. Haven’t played many Doak courses yet! If your schedule frees up, let me know!
