Has anyone else's cover gotten sticky? I tried washing it with Fantastic but its still sticky. Its both the front and back covers BTW. Is there some kind of varnish or something on the paper that might cause this?

I swear I haven't spilled anything on it that would cause this...

Yeah the cover on mine got sticky, too..  Not a problem or anything, still go back and re-read parts of it from time to time.  I'm due to run through a few chapters one of these days.

My book arrived today and I am at my 11 year old daughters basketball practice. Tonight just got a little less painful.

I really wasn’t sure what my expectations of LSW were. I had heard a decent bit about it, but it almost always seemed to be about shot zones and separation value (incredibly useful things in their own

I might have to buy another copy. I loaned my first copy to a local course manager/teaching pro. He then loaned it another employee. I finally asked him about it and he said he'll bring it in. They are both good guys - not dishonest, just absent-minded. They both seem to embrace many of the ideas in the book.

It was in the mail box. Thanks Iacas. My weekend reading assignment ?

From my experience, I suggest that you read the book from start to finish.   Then, pick a few items that you can implement easily like flaring both feet out at address, always going for middle of green from 60 yards and out, etc..   As you master those, move on to more advanced, or harder to acquire skills.

Depending on your level of fitness, try three times a week. Reps 10 to 20 depending on the weight of the ball..

Cool thanks, I'll start off with 10 three times a week and go up from there. I am using a 8lb ball.

so, this book was suggest and recommended by my swing coach. But it appears that this may be for players that already have their swing together and need the finer points of the game. Heck, I'm still working on the first two keys and trying to just hit the ball better. I was thinking I may be a few years away from needing this. Or am I missing something? Is there somthing here that can help me? I am all for studying and learning.

 

Regards.

Then you didn't hit it to 35 feet. :-)

Interesting Tweet from Mark Broadie. So if I'm reading this correctly, the best putter of the best ball strikers win 45% of the time. The best ball strikers of the best putters win 35% of the time. Long game gets more wins.

      My Swing (boogielicious)

      By iacas · Posted

      Only two things I'd worry about a little right now (though this is without seeing face-on views… you know better!) Stop extending the right knee so much. Hands have to move a bit more aggressively "away" (from the target and ball), perhaps with some forearm twisting clockwise from your POV, to start the downswing.

      My Swing (boogielicious)

      By boogielicious · Posted

      I haven’t posted a video in quite a while (or practiced for that matter) due to some health issues. I was able to get a couple of down-the-line videos today at the range. Still have a bit of the same issues, but it’s playable while I work on the swing. I apologize for the construction noise. I do notice my rehearsal swing has higher hands than my final swing. I’ll try to get some face on swings at my home setup in the near future.

      Why You Should Measure Your Swing (AMG Video)

      By iacas · Posted

      Golfers want consistency. It begins with consistency of: recording your swing often putting the camera in the same place with the same angles, height, etc. focusing on one thing when you do look at the camera

      Why You Should Measure Your Swing (AMG Video)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A good video on why measuring your swing, like with a GEARS system, is key to really figuring out what is going on in the swing.  One thing I didn't know, or didn't put two and two together, that the lens on your camera can impact how you view your swing using video. The part where they show the swing stopped, all three images are the same position of the same swing, but with different lenses on the camera shocked me a bit.  If you are going to use a camera, just realize it has limitations, and the importance to use the same camera with the same camera set up as much as possible for consistency.

      Thanks. I hope I do but I think I'm going to get stuck at 98 as two of the remainder tracks are notoriously difficult get on.   I have Turnberry, Troon, Skibo Castle, Ardfin and Crail Craighead left. I have a round at Turnberry booked in for later this year. Troon is accessible but the green fee is extortionate (compared to what we are used to) so I may go for that in 2027. Crail Craighead is easy enough through member guest sign on's so won't be an issue.  Skibo Castle is a private, exclusive members club who do not allow guests at all full stop. You have to know a member, who are very rare and secretive (often celebrities, like Harry Styles or other worldwide business types for example, who are supposedly members). So it is basically impossible and I am likely to be stuck with this one. Ardfin whilst bookable for the average joe - is bordering on extortion and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to afford it. You have to stay over at their 'hotel' and you have to book it out for X amount of people for at least two days and it costs upwards of 15-20k. Even if you divide that by say 12 players it's still far too much money unfortunately. With a bit of luck at somepoint in the future they may introduce a day rate, they had one a few years ago for 500 (GBP).  Fingers crossed however. I managed to get on the exclusive Loch Lomond easier than I thought it would be!
