Practice Routine

[Imurg]

Sweet Jesus there's been some tripe posted on this thread...
Some people really aren't thinking before typing...

Homer has a PSR
He says it helps him
Some people have virtually demanded he backs that up with proof.
For some reason "proof" means a handicap cut.
Maybe just maybe the proof is that Homer's handicap is relatively steady - he's been around the 10-12 mark for some time now.
Maybe, just maybe, Homer's PSR is preventing his handicap from going through the roof......
Anyone thought about that?
Thought not.....
Just because something "works" it doesn't automatically lead to a cut
It may simply lead to staying put........

But that's not very interesting so wouldn't lead to pages of tripe that just seem to be increasing post counts..

:thup: Well said

Shame the thread went well off topic but its like car chase TV and difficult to stop reading, so I would now like to be able to download it as a podcast
(and I'd like Stephen Fry & Britney Spears to do the voice-overs, the protagonists can choose)

Then you'd be wrong!

Just not knowingly/deliberately.


Nope - that would leave an 'updated...' line.


Only 'demand' (note the quotes) was from CMAC who got things arse about face.




For those with aspirations, it's either that or admit their (our) lack of talent!

Something easily harvestable by the marketeers!

Sorry but he knew exactly what he was doing. I have worked in IT long enough to know these sort of thing dont just "happen"

I couldn't resist getting involved and winding Phil up!

Playing golf the way I believe it should be - as an enjoyable hobby :thup:

If it is so enjoyable ...

Slow golfers are the bane of my life

why do you get annoyed at other people playing golf as a hobby?

I bet you are one of those people that launch balls into the green before the group ahead are safely clear...

 

[londonlewis]

Happy to accept people's opinion when they have some basis behind them

When someone disagrees with what I say then I would expect them to show me why their opinion is more valid - when it comes to golf and you say you disagree with me and your ideas so far seem to be taking you handicap in an upward motion as opposed to showing me that they are actually working then I will not agree with you.

So I just asked you to show me the proof of why you disagree with me - you got all defensive - that's not my issue I'm afraid.

There is no such thing as a right or wrong opinion - it is just an opinion, which is why people don't need to back up their opinions by providing facts and proof.

For example; my favourit colour is blue. Do I need to justify this against all other colours in the rainbow?

Actually, these sort of things can and do just happen. Most often they don't but they certainly can. In this instance, I suspect it was accidental, it may be that Phil did delete it but didn't realise he had. I do things like this when using the touchpad mouse on my work laptop all the time.

BS and you know it.

To put it simply Paddy

If something was changed then it was purely by accident and something I haven't realised i did and there was no intent

I would have gone back and amended the post as it seems it have caused a problem but I can't - sorry.

 

[HawkeyeMS]

BS and you know it.

If you say so

I've seen a few weird things in my 40+ years of it!

Environmental Glitch.
Program Fault
Unforeseen circumstance
User Error
Deliberate action/attack

Pretty much covers them all

Are you accusing Phil of the last? Or allowing him the 'User Error' excuse/reason, for which he has apologised!

 

[guest100718]

If you say so

I do.

 

[pingwizard]

I usually bring a score card from different courses and "play the course" on the driving range... Driver, 8 Iron, Wedge, etc. If I hit a 240 drive I check the card and see what distance left and so on. It takes the monotony out of it for me.

 

[Foxholer]

I do.

Be very careful where you use those words!

They can get you into a lot of trouble!

PR.

Practice if done in a structured way with a purpose, results monitored properly will help the person practicing that way improve.

Dragging & bashing balls with no purpose, no intent, no monitoring, will at best give the person some exercise, keep the level of the golf at the same level it was when they started at best but quite often make the swing worse throughout the session so won't help improve the overall game.
It won't help them progress their technique any, so during play they will keep doing the things they've always done which will get them the results on the course they have always got.
If the person concerned is happy with this, then no problem, if they want to get better, they are going to have to approach their practice differently.

seriously- that sounds like monotony to me:ears:

Go back and check the posts. It's as guest100718 says! And the missing 'don't' in the quote does change the meaning somewhat!

If any apology owed, its Phil to guest100718 (and you to him too) imo!

if I could take you by the hand I would, c'mon simple foxholer, now look at post #71 with no don't, and look at phils quote of #71 in #73 with no don't, in fact phil has quoted it verbatim.........

what part of that do you really not understand? or are you deliberately being obtuse and trying to wind up Phil even more- poor show
