Ted, this is so funny- a buddy of mine is the worst flipper you have ever seen. A few years ago, I put a similar aid on his wedge before a round, and naturally, he smashed himself in the ribs, twice. So, what did he do? Did he think to himself, geez, I'm doing something wrong here, I'd better fix it? Or, geez...I'd better see an instructor and get this fixed? Nah...all he did was say, "Damn, this thing hurts!", took it off, and never gave his flippy ways another thought again. He can still flip a hamburger when he chips...

I have to tell you a story that sounds like a fairy tale, but I promise it's true.

I was using the old stick (orange flag that goes on the back of a go-cart, cut in half) in the grip drill with a student. I get a very unusual phone call from a woman. She starts by asking, "do you teach my boyfriend, Tim (to protect the innocent)?" I said, "yes, I do." She then asked, "were you the one that put those marks on his side?"

Wanting to laugh hysterically, I said, "actually, he made the marks. I just made them possible."

I wanted to say, "no, it wasn't me. Have you asked that other girl that he was with today?"
