Hi,
I just found this site a few days ago and am hoping it turns out to be a helpful and fun place to visit. I live in the high country of Arizona (Prescott) so am not playing much right now but we have a pretty long season and beautiful summers - so if any of you travel to play you might consider this area. I'm a weekend duffer and enjoy all the new equipment reviews - especially the ones provided by the end users. Hope to make some new friends here........Mike

No I haven't been to Crown King. Don't do much 4 wheeling anymore. If you do happen to get in the area look me up and maybe we'll go whack a few balls, although it looks like you may be a better whacker than I am. Actually we're a little over 5000 ft so I guess that would account for my occassional 300 yd drive.

Mike I am also a duffer with a 9 hdcp after beating on balls for 70 years. I was a member on a national championship team in the Netherlands in 1964 before the computer was invented. I enjoy people trying to beat up on a 74 year old man and trying to releave me of my savings. I am willing to play you straight up. Just tell me how much you want to win. In the mean time I am trying to revolutionize the game of golf by making the game easier, more exciting, lowering scores and improving the pace of play. Sounds like a pie in the sky. What I do is provide the correct aim line to the hole on each of the greens. As i get more familiar with the Internet and these forums I hope to share more about my ideas and look forward to meeting people who might be interested in improving the player development and retention of golf.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
