  Hello everyone!

  During the last 3 weeks, i thought about the best way to help others with my knowledge of this game. Here is what all of that concluded in:

  In case you got problems with any part of your game or just want to make the next step, you can send me a friend invite followed by a private message. I will then give you a specific offer, which you can either accept/decline or debate on it with me. Just to give you one simple example:

  You got problems with the wind adjustment on iron shots. I would then offer you to hand over my spreadsheet formulas for length adjustment and after letting you practice with them for a week, we would play a round of 18 holes with settings of your choice during which we debate occuring problems and the topic of side wind effects and aiming for them as well as some general thoughts about hit ding/miss ding method in side winds. We would discuss the prize for that via pm before the formulas are send.

  In case you are interested in some kind of a training/help offer like this on any topic, just send me a friend invite followed by a private message with the subject "training".

  Cheers,

  your Hans

  I had a similar idea.  WGT could create a "mentor" program where experienced players could sign up to help (mentor) newer players to the game. New players would be able to contact a prospective mentor for games where the mentor could give advice on shot making, course strategy, etc.  This would be a way for seasoned players to "give back" to the game and help new players advance to a higher level.  Would also provide some recognition to the more advanced players for their achievements in the game.  It would, of course, be totally voluntary for both parties.  Perhaps the mentoring person would get extra points for that round as compensation for taking the time.  C
