  Bravo to you sir for sticking up for yourself. I knew when I read your post, that the "smartass" comments would follow quickly. As usual, some folks with no regard for anyones feelings made my prediction come true.

  Good luck with your game and ignore the sarcastic BS that has become far too common here.

  Red faces anyone?

  Nope, if my pops were still alive he'd be 77...he had to leave school in the 7th grade to work for his folks..they grew grapes for Gallo...he could read and write without issues.

  He also started his own business that he retired from...ran it for 16-18 years.

  He (my father) didn't do computers, but had a command of the written word.

   

  I've no issues with those who are not accustomed to the English language misspelling, or using fragmented sentences...but much of what the OP has written is incoherent.

  Whatever happened to having respect for our elders?

  My original comment was making fun of the UK being a USA Minor Outlying Island but nothing else :)

  Good on ya TBE, but now go back and read the first post...and notice that the reply (that you quoted) is much better written and can be made sense of.  As I mentioned I don't mind typo's, fragmented sentences, etc..gibberish amazes/astounds me, and I'll point it out as I see it, and have no remorse for doing so:)

  Im not one to give advice but try a flop nick!

  Elevation, roll,,,contours of the green!

  try practicing a full shot out of the cabbage with your 50....60 yrd wedge with & without full backspin....adding 5 - 10yrds and tweaking it from there.

  obviously adjusting for the distance....but it's all just down to practice.

  for  flops in 40/50 rough I add 7 yrds and it works for me.....anything over 40/50 don't use flop.
