I'm in my 30's, love watching golf more than playing it and have always had a family in the South that's been into the golf game.

My Dad's Aunt is getting older and is moving in with her daughter. Prior to moving in, she found some things and asked if I'd like them. Umm...yes.

I posted some photos on the college football and college alumni boards I usually post on but I figured I'd bounce this off a more golf community.

This is a cardboard poster from the 1970 Atlanta golf classic won by Tommy Aaron. Above the "000" is Arnold Palmer. About the "ass" in classic is Gary Player. Lee Elder is above the "ATL."

Can y'all pick out some more signatures?

You could have at least rotated the images, pal.

I can make out a few but it is hard to see because the images are rotated sideways.

Doug Sanders, Homer Blancos, Ed Sneed, Phil Rodgers, Dave Marr, Jacky Cupit, DeWitt Weaver, Frank Beard, Bobby Mitchell

Charles Sifford, Lee Elder (both legendary African American golfers)

There'll be pars when you are done

Lay your weary wedge to rest

Don't you shank no more

If you view the raw image it is fine.

    • My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.
    • I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
