The over 35s ones tend to be great, bit pot luck on who you draw if in the open events Phil. That one at Ashridge not the worst place to start!
Anyone Learned Aimpoint? Your Thoughts?

Yeah seen that and certainly thinking of entering - I just don't want the game to become to competitive for me and lose the enjoyment factor

how do you know till you try. I played in Birkdale goblet off 3hc in 2005 for £45 2 rounds!!!!!! But unfortunately not played it since cos there are an abundance of good players better then me who get in and I don't. It was only cos the Brabazon was on that same time that I got in.
Old coach once said if hc's worked we'd all be shooting the same. Play better golf and that will take care of your hc.

Treat the scratch as a jolly day out, playing a quality course, with fellow good players, and play as you normally do. I understand your concerns bout getting serious but that down to you how you deal with it.
Any one know if the OP to this has made his mind up bout this Aimpoint malarkey?

Same here. I am still trying to understand it. Many thanks to 3565 for being so patient. I always think if some one doesn't like a thread just leave it to those who do. It is not compulsary to post on every thread.

Perhaps 3565 would like to give a demonstration at North Hants on the H4H day ?

Thanks for the invite but I can't due to work and other golf commitments. Hope it's a good day for you.

The pace is to hit the hole - 12 inch past max. I'm sub 32 putts now, was 34+ two years ago

Well I knew with near 400 posts in a few days it wasn’t going to be a boring thread
I’d never heard of it before, and much like explaining a body’s movement during a swing, it seems that in text form, Aimpoint comes across as convoluted and intricate when perhaps we all do something like this on occasion it’s just that someone decided to do the maths and note it on a chart
Who hasn’t walked up/down/across a slope to try and get a read for the break and break-point simply by what they feel underfoot, this appears to be a system that adds some numbers &/or a rating to this practice
I don’t think I’ll try it but not because of what it’s trying to do, more because this kind of approach to golf is beyond me in the same way that a pro telling me to shift my weight from 50/50 to 60/40 is beyond me (what kind of machines are you guys that can ascertain 10% of your stance weight and adjust it consistently, sure I can adjust my weight but by 10%!!)
Good luck to those that want to do aimpoint though ... EYG (whatever happened to that fad)

I took the Aimpoint Express course today and was very happy with the content. To me it seems a very simple method and produced good results for every person there today. I'm looking forward to taking it out on the course and seeing how it works under pressure.

Not all of them are shown on that map. I know that George Porter (North Hants golf club) is running an Express class on the 15th March.
I'm a little confused about the pricing structure though, as many of the Express classes seem to be advertised as £99 ... but I thought the Express class was closer to £50.

I paid £40 but I know the midpoint and 2hr classes are around £90

Im taking the advanced Aimpoint class in May. As I understand the Express read it's for reads that are across and 90* to the slope. Did he show how to use express read that's up or down slope?

Focus was across the slope but I believe it's applicable up or down. We discussed how to adjust the read for faster or slower, which you could apply up or down the slope and a straight putt is a straight putt.
We were limited by the putts our practice green offers. I'm interested to try it on-course and see what works and what doesn't. He's arranging three more express classes at my club and I am free to attend as many as I like now I've paid.

Thats stats good cos once you start using it on course you'll get situations that may need clarifying and you can go back and ask the question. From using Aimpoint in past 2 yrs I've just applied some logic with the express read for reads that are not across the slope.
