No….I was a golfer when I was a kid….one of our regular money players buried his putter in the green after missing a putt….we repaired the green and wouldn’t play with him anymore ….respect your equipment.

Years ago at Highland Park Golf Course in Birmingham had a lake that swallowed 3 of my friends irons on 3 consecutive shots on 1 hole.
Fortunately his 4th shot connected fairly well or there'd of been 4 of his clubs in the drink.
And yes, alcohol was a factor. lol

Smaller Pockets Don’t Always Play Smaller … Dr. Dave Evaluates His New Rails and Pockets

From the video's screenshot, the pocket facings appear to be almost parallel. That will throw the ball in the pocket more often than causing it to rattle. You only need to be accurate enough to hit just inside the point and it will drop, new cloth promotes that too.

Agreed. They are at 50 degrees instead of parallel (45 degrees), but they definitely help the balls in. That was actually part of my goal … to make the pockets look tougher without making them tougher. Although, they are tougher for many shots. It sure is nice to be able to fire the balls into the pockets now without them rattling out.

Auerback... I picked up an Auerback with the gold JA logo on the butt cap in a trade probably 25 years or so ago and still have it. Cocobolo forearm and butt sleeve with a birdseye maple handle. Nice cue that people mistake for Bluegrass from across the table.

Pronunciation of "Aloysius" (Yapp)

I think @VTEC John and @Biloxi Boy will be quite interested in that info.

The pronunciation of Yapp's first name came up when he first finished high in a major. I thought it was settled at that time.

Interesting that everyone referred to him as Yapp, like it was a first name, after the big win. The interviewer called him Yapp during the post-match interview.

Short rail first - how do you play

nataddrho
How do you like to play short rail first shots, i.e. short, long, short, coming in under the ball after the third rail. Jaspers is a master of this.

Do you like to keep the English close to straight top and modify your cut angle / ball fraction on the second ball?

Or do you like to keep your ball fraction consistent and modify your English more?

I am liking the second method, about 1/4 ball most time with modified English, but I am still experimenting.
