    re: if it's even *possible*
    
    it isn't.  so the rule of thumb is to keep your left hand as close to
    your body at the point of impact as is practical... about a hand's
    width away seems about right; (of course we all knew that to begin with. 
    Isn't math wonderful?)	:) :)

1855.6use the force, Luke.....NAVY5::SDANDREAPlonkerFri Mar 18 1994 12:426
    I'm just happy to keep the ball in the fairway......when I generate
    more clubhead speed, I get alot more distance.  Lord only knows where
    the ball's going, tho.....
    
    Steve (ever see a slice where the ball makes a 90 degree right turn and
    then makes "the jump to hyperspace"?....I can *do* that!)
1855.7Huh ??RAYBOK::COOPEROne-ton Tomato !Fri Mar 18 1994 18:0110
 So let me see if I've got this right. The theta of the beta must be 
equal to the hypotenuse created by the flatulence of the wrist at
the point of impact as opposed to erradicating the effluvium during
the takeaway which cause a severe rotational displacement on the surface
of the ball which in turn creates a temporary conundrum through the
fabric of time. Therefore, assuming all forces are equal, The isolateral
distribution of the swingforce on the ball will result in a flight path
similar to a BANANA !!

If a you gamma has gonna krappa, I'll beta its a somethin you eta.  Or its a
putts, you can't omega!

1855.12I'd beta go to the MATH conferenceNOVA::FINNERTYlies, damned lies, and the CAPMTue Mar 22 1994 14:017
    
    I readily admit to a bad case of cabin fever, but all kidding aside, I
    think that I learned a thing or two in the exercise.  Make that
    three things... #3 is, don't post it in the GOLF conference!!  
    
       :)

  Well, I was talking to him but decided he was too conventional. I
now mind meld with Mac O'grady while on the practice tee !!

    It's the long Winter that's getting on all of us.
    
    Good news!!!  I drove by Green Meadow today (usually first in NH to
    open) and I saw a lot of grass.
    
    Bad news...  I also saw a LOT of snow and water...
    
1855.16speed & decisioningATEIS::MILLERThu Mar 31 1994 18:254
    
    	A sure way to maximize distance/clubhead speed is to take
    	out your seven iron to lay up just short of the water.
    
1855.17ODIXIE::RHARRISI am the NRA, for life!Thu Mar 31 1994 20:305
    If the water is frozen, punch a 3 iron and roll over the water.  That's
    what I do.

    Sounds good to me.  Actually, I am so desperate to play that I'd be out
    there in a second if the course was open.  Last year I played Green M.
    when it opened and it was hysterical.  No roll at all.  In fact, a lot
    of shots just got plugged or buried in the ground.
1855.19coming around againATEIS::MILLERThu Mar 31 1994 21:163
    
    	Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is
    	actually the beginning of the next group of three.

Re: .15, .18

	This morning I stopped in at the Daily Grind ( coffee shop across from
Green Meadow ) heard that said that the groundskeeper hopes to have at least
9 holes open this weekend.  The driving range has been open since Wednesday.
