Either the both of you are just really lame trolls or you both got high on something.

Back years ago there was a novel about a guy who invented a dice based baseball game and did full seasons of the teams, creating players and back stories and off-field incidents, etc.  So much so that he ended up kind of losing himself in the game.

Ahhh, found it:  http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Baseball-Association-Henry-Waugh/dp/0452260302/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid;=1431453970&sr;=8-2&keywords;=universal+baseball

Here is a god description of the book taken from one of the reviews:

So I'm thinking maybe Old Lefty has the same thing going on with a self-invented golf game.  But his league is called the PBAC.

BTW, I read this book at least 25 or more years ago but I remember it as a pretty good read.

So, like ... Strat-O-Matic???  I had that game (might still be in the closet actually) and loved it. :)

More like Strat-O-Matic on steroids.

Well hey, in reviving old memories of playing strat-o-matic at least we got SOME value out of this thread. :dance:

Maybe you and @Golfingdad can set up a Strat-O-Matic game by email.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I heard about this Zack guy in the PBAC. He's currently ranked 8 of 10. He'd be a pretty good golfer if he could control his drive, get better with his irons, and learn to putt ...

As do I. It's the third most reputable tour in the area, for goodness sakes! How could you not know the full roster?

I'm just getting to learn the ropes on important tournaments. [quote name="Pretzel" url="/t/81908/pbac-tour/20_10#post_1142084"] As do I. It's the third most reputable tour in the area, for goodness sakes! How could you not know the full roster?[/quote] I am working on it, I'm thinking of going to a few of the events this year, once I figure out where it is held. [quote name="JazzFatCat" url="/t/81908/pbac-tour/20_10#post_1142109"]Zack is so overrated. [/quote] Finally something I might agree with.

    • Day 2 (20 Jan 26) - Similar work as yesterday - started with lead hand solo drills with the 50°, followed by series of pitches and chips utilizing full setup. 
    • Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine. 
    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
