  I have wondered if someone had worked on something along these lines... but my mind prefers to see things a little more organized ... and it would also make certain threads or topics more easily found in a search.

  Some topics have multiple threads ... so I often wondered if someone created a list of various categories rather than one long list... such that doing a search on "putting" for example would bring a thread on Putting with a list of various putting threads versus trying to dig up multiple searches and finding what to sort through.

  I believe the thread topic would need to focus on the most common searches and then within each of those common searches a List could be found of various threads or discussions on those topics.

  some obvious examples:

  Putting tips thread (sub categories... speed control, aiming, ding vs miss ding)

  Approach shots - shreadsheet calculations

  Managing Winds - distance and aiming

  Short Game approaches (pitch / flop / punch shots)

  VEM - Variance and UFO's

  A - Z - some of the best discussions or humorous threads

   

  Of course even a thread like the one you started could contain the list of each of these and more topics..  Unfortunately.. I am certain there are things I haven't come across and others who have been around a lot longer than me.  I did do a bit of research to learn the game so anything I have collected I would be happy to share...

  Here are some samples of Putting threads I collected and looked at:

   A few putting links: Tekoma - JCSneed - StoneCold - Nivlac - Young46 - AgentBrown123 -  Naturali  - 11BC2appears to be removed) - Gold's (old one April 2012 I hadn't seen but haven't tested)  -  ???Simple   - newer version of JC Sneed on ipad by babzilla33

  Squeeze your butt cheeks, it makes it harder for them.

  what thrill does WGT get out of *** me. You need to fix this wind *** you got going on.

  
  
  When I was younger we called it a p***y fart.
  
  
  

  Fartman56:

  You need to fix this wind

  
  
  It is hurricane season in the USA is it not. Could be part of your problem.

  You have already lost 90% of your players

  
  
  Probably explains why A/S games are hard to come by lately.

  So even though I am a big proponent for specific LISTS . Keeping them current isn't easy and comes with a price ,

  No doubt, lot of info there.  Another one might be links to the various shot / wind calculators.... pinhunters version, Bilkos, Kats, plus the various options shared by players to do calcs quick mentally or on a calculator.... versus using complex spreadsheets.

  But yes... some topics are not as common... but for those that are... could save time.  But then maybe the search is part of the journey...
