There is a new book out by Tom Coyne....He had authored a Course called Ireland a few years ago. His book on Scotland is fabulous and gently describes many of the courses. He played 117 rounds in 56 days. I highly recommend anyone with thoughts of going to Scotland reading this....and for those who have gone, It is a must.

I couldn't put it down. Good stuff both for writing as well as travel info. His Ireland was great also for same reasons.

Thanks for letting us know. I enjoyed his Ireland book.

Neat - never heard of him...I'm always looking for books to read during my commute.  My library doesn't yet have the Scotland book, but I just put a "hold" on the digital version of A Course Called Ireland.  Should get it in about two weeks (it says).

I’m enjoying it so far. One interesting part is when he went to see an old friend and teacher in Philadelphia to tune up his game. The instructor taught him to read putts with his feet! It was Mike Dynda. @iacas, do you know him? He is an AimPoint instructor!

Pretty well actually, yes. He and Dave bonded over being bald. :-)

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
