A few nominations off the top of my head, in no particular order:

@Crim seems like a decent enough fellow, is a supporter, but not an evolvr student. He seems like he'd listen. He always seems happy when we help him out on his swing thread.

@14ledo81 also seems like a decent guy.

I'd say @Fourputt but I know he rarely plays these days. And if he has a camera, which I doubt, it's probably one of those that you have to crank  JK.

@RFKFREAK might listen to you guys.

It's hard to nominate people because I'm not sure which regulars interested in lessons aren't already in the program.

I feel like @Hammer 4 is already getting lessons. So he's out.

I'm not sure how interested they'd be but the following guys would make good candidates if they wanted to be:

@newtogolf, @bplewis24, @RonTheSavage, @scopek, @meenman, @inthehole.... I'm not sure if @k-troop would be interested. I'm trying to think of a long time member who may be interested....

This is tough. OK, I've said too many names.

@billchao perhaps? I wish I had a comprehensive list here to work with

In other sad news, I've wasted ^^^ this much brain space remembering some of your internet handles.

EDIT:

Oops. Obviously I didn't read this before finalizing my previous post. Let me rethink this for a second.

Jet fans unite, @JetFan1983 ! :beer:

Haha. Well since @billchao, @14ledo81 and a couple of the others I mentioned have a couple nominations already, I'll throw my support your way.

I nominate @bplewis24

Sick burn! :pound:

Okay so I reviewed some of the my swing threads to see who is actively working on their swing and tried to cross-reference that with their accumulated "skins" but couldn't find a way to do it.  Nonetheless, I've decided to nominate @14ledo81

Now, I see he's been getting help already and I'm not really sure if he's available for nomination, so if he isn't then I'll go with @RFKFREAK .  And if he isn't available, I give up .

Thanks! :dance:

I'm already an Evolvr student but not sure if that disqualifies me or not.

I'm going to nominate @colin007 because I think he brings a lot to threads he participates in, seems to genuinely want to help people, and certainly not because he said he'd give me a ride to the NE outing. :whistle:

That's a good idea.  Sort of make the "price" of the free lessons a diary that we can all follow along with. Can we nominate more than one person?  If so, I'd like to throw @newtogolf 's

It's all good. Not your fault, you're a Jets fan ;-) On a completely unrelated note, why haven't we gotten together for some golf yet? Don't you live like 40 minutes from me?

I would love to, but I am actually not currently living in New Jersey... I just haven't updated my location or profile in a while.

I don't think I've been around long enough here to get to know people and who needs it most. As such i don't have a nomination but wanted to say, as everyone has said what an awesome opportunity this is for a lucky member.

Might say i would have been a good candidate but i have managed to squeeze the money for evolvr from my student loan so i'm already in good hands. :-)

Haha, I was going to suggest one of these times I was in NYC, depending on where in Jersey you lived, that we get together and play a round. :offtopic:

I appreciate the nomination guys. I am actually going to work on a time later this summer and pay for a session up in Erie. I think the other guys are more established here on the site and I am fairly new. I will continue to try to contribute here and maybe a year or two down the road I will be a decent candidate. Thanks again for nominating me.

I thought I was good losing 25 pounds, but if I didn't already nominate Bplewis I would certainly nominate you! BTW, go to Erie earlier, like now, so you can shoot lower scores this summer.

Thanks for mentioning me! Not sure if I'll get one of the free months, but I'll be sure to update my swing thread pretty regularly.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
