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. :)

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?

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
