Given the feedback I received from you in Volume 7, I decided to go ahead and play 18 holes in order to establish a handicap ahead of my very first tourney. I am in a situation at work where I have excess vacation time and if I don't use it, I

As you may remember from Volume 6, I tried the TopTracer setup at the Alhambra Golf Course and thoroughly enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I did not get enough shots on certain clubs to do a real good analysis for every club I use. So I went back. I am happy to report that

On a whim, I decided to head to my local 9 Hole golf course to see if I could get on. It was a cloudy and cold day, so I figured not too many people would be out. I figured if I got on, cool, and, if not, I could
