Drive was beautiful.

The Arizona sky, the sky is bigger there. It took my breath away. That doesn't happen everyday.

Another piece I hear when in the great state of AZ:

Steve

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Your avatars are defeating the purpose of an "Avatar."

Maybe make them unique so they actually serve the purpose of what an avatar is meant to do?  Right now the site is very awkward.

The Newport Cup ends at the end of the week. Regular avatars will be back before you know it.

Yeah, it's just like wearing your team color shirts when you go to see the 'game'...

The Newport Cup ends at the end of the week.

To be precise, the Newport Cup ends at 6pm Pacific Time this Friday. By that point, the West Coast lead will be so commanding that the Saturday singles will merely be a formality.

No its not...  Read what an avatar is meant to be.

You are not identifying individuals at "the game."

I get that you are supporting a side, but think it could have been done in a way that keep the site users unique.

Everyone's name is still there.

Names are not avatars....

And yet they keep users unique ;-)

Names are not visual representations of a users unique identity...

The point behind an avatar is to recognize that person easily because of their graphic ID.   When everybody has the same image the entire point of an avatar is ruined.

The support of the Newport cup team would be more appropriate in the Signature line for the user.

This might be a foolish question but is there a post that shows who is on what team?

There are but they're lost back there a few pages somewhere.  Here's the easy route: http://thesandtrap.com/t/83905/ping-2015-newport-cup-prediction-contest-win-a-g30-driver/0_30

      Day 3:  I tried to hit a bucket at the range but an 80 year old man (he told me his age, showed me his knee replacement scars, told me all about his chronic low back pain, etc) couldn’t pass up the opportunity to mansplain to me every little thing I’m doing wrong.  Dude, it’s my third frickin day.  I know I need to twist my hips more, I know I need to keep my head/chest down and not pop up, I know I need to hit through the ball and follow through further, yada yada yada.  I know.  That’s exactly what I’m trying to work on.  How about you tell me or show me how to do those things instead of telling me to watch Iron Byron videos?  Rough day.

      Day 132: 5/7/24 Full Speed Spectrum Training session 8/24. 7th training program overall.    Another slow session but 4 mph faster than my last session, which was my slowest ever. Going to the doctor on Friday to check on pulled neck muscle.

      Day 26: Did full swing practice after work. First 15 balls were working on top of the backswing feel, and then tried to incorporate transition feel into the next 15 balls. A's, although this will be my last season of being a fan as they leave for Las Vegas (by way of Sacramento for a few seasons). Hard to see myself rooting for the Giants, but if that's the only MLB in the Bay Area, I guess I might get on board.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By billchao ·

      My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
