Been re-reading the book...last night I was on page 89 where Erik discusses the Gate drill and Double Gate drill.  The idea came to me that my grandson's small play football goal would make a perfect

It’s a bit over-priced…..should be closer to an even $3000.00

If that one's worth $3K. 
My signed copy should be worth at least $10K.... right?

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

My copy was waiting for me in the mailbox when I got home on Sunday.  I have began reading it, and liking it already.  We just received a fresh blanket of snow yesterday, so it looks like I'll be out in the shop swinging away on the practice mat for the time being.  Can't wait to get more into the book!!

This reread is allowing me to capture points missed during earlier reads.  The book will be a lifetime reference tool I hope to pass down one day to my grandson or granddaughter!

Who knows how many you might have? Better buy a dozen copies now. 😉

Lol! From the production plans that my children have provided, we have max’d out at three.  Of the three the one that is in my profile pic, who turns 6 in early May, is the most likely to pursue the game in earnest. The other two, while they will putt putt and hit some on the range, do not seem to have the passion to do more.  Then again, they are only soon to be 8 and 6….hmmm, maybe two more copies?

darthweasel

finally got around to buying the book, look forward to reading a couple times over the winter as off season and ran are upon me...weird question. Don't really plan to be a range rat this winter, but did sign up on a sim house. If I read it and do a "work through", with the understanding and acknowledgement that sim golf is to real golf as internet distances are to actual distances...I presume the strategies found therein, a good place to practice them would be sim courses?

 

Any specific recommendations for melding the reading and sims?

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
