Hope you didn't take my post personally, ICT. I was picking up on the tone -- "less than expert" -- of your own.


All of us start golf as a beginner. Most of us remain a beginner. We decide -- consciously or otherwise -- that "Hey, this is not for me" and walk away. Wonderful! Carpe diem and best of luck on your new adventures.

Others hang around and just "have fun". That's the purpose, right? After all, golf ain't "world peace"! Those who can keep it on that level -- little effort, little result, lots of fun -- enjoy a pleasant recreational experience. (At least so I'm told. )

And then there's the rest of us.

Lynn, I was pleased that there were no glaring mistakes pointed out by my superiors. As for my lowly status, better to be a gatekeeper in the Kingdom than seated at the first table in the bad place. The old Renaissance formula for something of value was "light and heat" meaning instruction with amiable feelings. That's my goal. Like you, I am mystified when people slam HK or another instructor rather than deal with what they actually taught or wrote or at least ask questions.

If I was afraid of being publicly corrected on any subject, I would not wander out in public. That also confuses me about HK's critics. They want to play in the middle of a busy street and not get interrupted by heavy traffic, or they then get upset.

They are over-indulged children.
