Keep Writting

Thanks Kooter

I probably will never have the time to dedicate myself to improving my golf game the way you and your son have/do. Having said that your posts have got me wanting to practice more broadly, play more and I certainly looking to absorb, learrn and enjoy as much golf as I can.

I'll keep my eye out for your practical posts. If you ever get down to Sydney Australia, it would be great to have a round with you and maybe buy you a Ausie beer on the 19th and pick you brains.

All the bests

Sparky

P.S I'm 37 medium build have played off and on for many years, I play/pratice once a week on average (social not comp) If I have a rough handicap around 20, what in your mind is reasonable to get that down to over 12mths.

Your story a familiar one

Seeing your children do well is the best reward for a parent. Besides having two phi beta's in my offspring, I am proud to say they also have the inner strength, integrity, and harmony to be great people as well as scholars.
Thanks for sharing.

Enjoy your writing

Go low,

I enjoy your writing and knowledge of the game. You have a way of putting your readers at ease. Great style. I want to thank you for your contributions to the site. Many people benefit from what it written here. If a few people understand the game a little better, are a little less frusterated, need a tip or two or are just starting out and are finding there way I hope you and other writers like you keep contributing.

Keeping knowledge that others can benefit from is worthless knowledge. Only knowledge shared and applied is worth it's weight in gold. Everyone learns different, sometimes you just have to keep going until you hit the chord that works. When it works it is music to the ears. Keep the knowledge flowing.

I have recently sent mail thru to the administrator, sending congrats on an excellent site. Its well layed out, well managed and has something for golfers at all stages of their development. Along with the great contributions from the regular "pro's" the posts from you and other very learned golfers is most valuable and for me, forms the backbone of a terrific site.

There is an amasing amount of members that don't interact with the site. I imagine they sign up, read a couple of posts and then move on. Its a shame, maybe a real-time chat facility would keep up interest. I'd welcome any thoughts on keeping up member input.

Keep writting in between staying on the short stuff.

Many Thanks

Michael (Sparky)

Sparky,

I agree about the board, there is always fresh things here. The search is great, need help with a certain thing type in a search and a bazillion things popup. You try something that works, it's all good!!!

I have learned many new things to teach my high schoolers. I also hear in the beginners many things I hear from my students. It gives me insight into what's going on that they don't say. We can all learn from each other.

I agree I wish more folks who signup would speak up. I know when AceofSpades first showed up I thought he was a little brash. I talked to Ace off line and he was kicked off a few courses because of discrimination. I would have a chip on my shoulder too I guess. I told him most places are not like that. He has a great game. I talk to him from time to time.

Greg has been great about the forum. It's like being around people you know. They just live all over the world.

Welcome and thanks,

GolfBald
