Fantastic article! I'm only part-way through it, but will dive in deeper later.

I had never seen this "Geek Zone" area until today. I usually just look at ALL new posts, rather than by category. I've been missing out!  Anyway, I've written a very geeky spreadsheet thing for tee time analysis in this thread-->http://thesandtrap.com/t/78215/article-says-real-reason-for-slow-play-is-short-tee-time-intervals/90#post_1098403.      Maybe that could be moved here to the Geek Zone? I don't want to clutter that thread since I was hoping to discuss analyzing a spreadsheet model for golf course flow. Of course, if nobody contributes to the model there, I guess there's no harm done over there and just let it die.

Very interesting article.  He writes well.  I'll probably read some of his other stuff as well.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Ditto. This one is a gem-->http://ken.arneson.name/2014/12/the-long-long-history-of-why-i-do-not-like-the-josh-donaldson-trade/ Yah that's the long history alright. I'm not sure how to categorize his stuff. Intellectual, technical, scientific, but casual and insightful with how he thinks.

Holy Crap!!!!  And to think, I always thought my beloved Red Sox lost games because the other team played better that day.  I'll never look at Fenway the same way again.  Good read!!.................the Mailman

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
