I do what I can, Ace. I am NOT a PGA pro, I have no official teaching credentials. I am a student of the game. That's my standing. I give time to my local high school as a swing coach, I help in the first tee program helping kids get started.

If you need lessons I'm sure there is a PGA Pro in your area who will be more than capable of giving you lessons, at a +2 (I'd sell my dog for that Hcp.) what could you want.

I have put together a database with knowledge and drills. I share what I know. I hope a few people learn something, this game has given me a new lease on life. I wouldn't be here typing this had it not been for golf. It has been there through some rough times as a great escape.

Greg Hutton has been gracious enough to provide a forum to talk golf and share golf. To get some knowledge, share a story or two, talk some trash about our game or Sam's game, right Naz!!! Please join in the discussion and questions. Ask questions and I'm sure you will probably get an answer. Jordy, Greg and Greg are PGA Pro's, they do this for a living and give their time to us free. How can it get any better? I have learned a lot from this forum just like everyone else.

Please don't seek me out alone, I am a member just like everyone else.

Keep it in the short grass,

Please use the private message system for requests like this. I understand you just signed up. Just click on Golfbald in the forum or go to my profile and click send private message. This is something that should be addressed to me.

Ace I don't understand why you would want an engineer and not a pro. These folks are trained and have studied this in school. They do this day in and out. They see far more people than I do. I don't get it.

Please PM me and we'll talk about it.

Yo Baldy,

I'll negotiate a price with ya. I got more money than sense. What ya want?


I've been to the pros, club pros, top 100 pro's, schools they got me this far. I read your enlightenment stuff. I don't feel that. Golf seems boring to me. Are you like the Budda of the Links? That's what I'm lookin for.

Baldy I'll send ya mail.

Yo Baldy,

Thanks for the message. I'll tone it down some. I just get spun up about the prejudist in golf against blacks playing in the US. Tiger hasn't taken down the wall it's still there. When I come to pplay peole look at me like I'm going to steal there clubs.

What's up with white people. I figured you would get past the black thing since you say you help everyone. When I went to Pelz school I felt like a bug.

I'll talk to you for time to time, and if you come up on buisness again the round will be on me.

Later dude,

Ace

Ace,

No problem, we'll make it a foursome. I will send the short game stuff. I think the angles of the pitch shot will help you along with the revised lob wedge work I've been doing lately. It's pretty consistent 20-30 yards. Also the ripped 8i and 9i two hop and stop shot. I have started to update the downhill high soft shot, you don't get that yet I want to work on it some more. There is a shank tendency I have to figure out, it's about 60-40 not a good enough percentage.

I think on this one, if you want to really shake them up aim for the top of the pin and one putt all day long. You will make more birdies that way.

Let me know what you think, if you have any questions PM me.

GolfBald

Yo Baldy,

You got some stuff in here that is cool. I've trried most of it and am having trouble understanding some of it. The opposite strength double overlap shot is the best one so far. Like you said aim at the top of the pin. I was laying that one in on every short sided shot and killing it. Dead died right on the hole. Like you said the slope don't come into play. I haven't walked off the distances yet witht he different clubs. Just wanted you to know that one works bigtime!!!!! Yo, Have I toned down my talking here. I don't want to get kicked off. The wizard has his rules for a reason, I understand now.

Yo Wiz If ya read this sorry dude.

I'll try the ripstop next and give ya some chatter.

Ace,

Glad to hear the new shots are working for you. Just like anything new it will take time to work into your game. I may send that one out to a few others to test. The trick is to keep it close to your toes and stand a little more upright, almost a Raymond Floyd putting stance. According to the Golf Machine it is a viable stroke, I just modified it to be more consistent. It's a little Homer Kelly, Jack Nicklaus (1980's), Mark Calcaveccia, and GolfBald swing. I may post it in the new short game section, but it is definetly a low handicapers speciality shot.

Yes I think you are toning it down. I think Greg would be ok with you present tone. He would have to answer that though.

Don't be so angry, just play the game!!!!
