...and no cattle.
On January 4, it was:
"And you are correct. I hit it straight. I hit fairways and I usually
hit the greens from the fairways. I usually 2-putt. And accordingly
I shoot near 80 and sometimes under."
Then one day later:
"I shoot around 80 from the blues or the whites.
Just solid golf."
Then on January 6:
"Thanks David. But just winning a match against a high-handicapper is
far below what I will do. I would beat AB by 20 strokes! I expect to
shoot par on most courses because I expect to hit ALL fairways and
most greens and then 2-putt."
On January 7:
"Waiting for Alan to show his stuff, sorta like the strutting and
flexing before a cage match. I showed that I can hit them straight
and long with every club. My swing may not look like a pro's, I need
to rehearse my backswing, get it right and then swing, but I do find a
way to hit it crisp and propel that sucker toward the target. I don't
play the treeline and I seldom need to recover from beside or over the
greens.
Hey AB, put up or shut up. There is no shame in backing down when you
know you are in WAY over your head."
The February 3:
"My pro cares about my whole game. So sometimes instead of hitting
full shots we walk over and work on chips and pitches, even lob shots.
Accordingly, I have become quite decent with a 60 degree wedge
because my technique is correct. "
And on February 4:
"AND, I have taken putting lessons-- I do it exactly right-- and the
ball goes in! "
So according to Larry, his whole game is great and he's going to be a 10
index by 20 strokes.
Funny that he's crawled away from his challenge then, isn't it?

Doing a full days work will clear the mind, give lots of social
interaction and raise your self-esteem.
Give it a try.

Vancouver. I have enough money for my recreation (I play golf probably
twice a week in the summer and play hockey 4-6 times a week in the

Yeah, right. Alan is qualified to take the trash out in a company
that can bill $60-$90/hour. They would pay him $9 an hour until they
learn that he is unreliable and dishonest. Then they lock him out of
the building. Exactly what they do in every golf discussion forum
with a moderator. They warn him to stop the ad hominem attacks, he
does it again, they warn him again, and he is banned. I have seen
him post that he always returns with a different username and
password, but they started banning his computer ID--
Over recent years in this and other forums we have seen enough from
him for several mental health professionals to post their conclusion
that he has serious mental problems-- which probably explain why he
dropped out of school and has since been unable to stick with anything
enough to acquire anything like professional skills.
It is just our bad luck that he haunts this forum.

I'm a freelance computer tech support person specializing in Macs (in
particular, how to integrate Macs with a company's Windows-Active
Directory infrastructure), and I bill from $60 (for a company that pays
me a retainer for a minimum 20 hours every month) to $90.

Yes, I did kill file Alan, but not because of poor character...he is
just too nit-picking in a back-and-forth disagreement. It got old.
Attacking him as mentally unstable is over the line. The issue of
who's swing is better is of no consequence, and the rest of the BS
about him not working, living off his mother and lacking an education
is only assumed. The leader of this pack has been outed as an
absolute liar by none other than someone who had befriended him.
It's one thing to dislike someone because they annoy you but to make
up shit is out of line.
It might have been a close call until the unmitigated gall of calling
him unbalanced.

All of the crap that LLLLarrry posts about Alan's work, his mom and
his mental problems are just not provable...and sick.
Between the two Alan looks like a winner. LlLLLarry is the lowest of

Nope. I'm neither proud nor ashamed. It simply is what it is.
I have a wonderful girlfriend I've been seeing for more than 8 years and
I would love to have had had a child with her, but she's in her
mid-forties and has a medical condition that might put her at great risk
if she were pregnant even if we'd started when she was younger (look up
"intestinal malrotation" if you like). So children are not in the cards
for us.

That's ~20 posts per day... not including the other forums you

Don't worry about naming your girlfriend, nobody would believe you

have a full analysis of Alan Baker's swing and he should be thankful
to God I didn't post it.
I read through the thread and I found these quotes from Baker;
:The newest videos from which those stills were taken is are more than a year old.
So I guess since they're over a year old it means he really didn't
swing that way.
:Second, they're cherry-picked from much longer videos by a guy whose already

I guess he's claiming everyone should ignore all the off-plane, head

routinely posts scurrilous personal attacks without foundation and
almost no provocation.
I remember him telling this forum that he was a senior manager in an
Internet Service provider-- or similar. He was so ready to challenge
whether I am a stock holder in a San Diego area company in that same
business--and disputed whether that company could determine for me any
poster's location and computer ID information. But each time we got
down to details, there was only silence from BK.
BTW, David Laville and I had a very cordial telephone conversation.
He is a gentleman and a man of his word. We would likely be friends
if were were geographically near.

This is what I mean by you having a problem. Where is there any
reason to bring politics into this discussion. There's no liberal, or
conservative, view involved. At least to anyone with that smidgen of
reason I mentioned. Any discussion will make someone think that the
other is portraying themselves as smarter. That's what arguments are
made of....on either side.
The other one has gone to the trouble of checking up on you and then
lying, but there is seldom rebuttal to his posts...always to the other
though.

That is patently ridiculous. I He's kill filed, but I do see a major
difference in the two people that are being discussed, and you just
can't make a reasonable thought without screaming "liberal". You
even did it here.
and a hypocrite just because he had a strong criticism of Ken...but he
had said nothing about politics.. The other example was, without any
reason at all, you called me a hypocrite and intimated that I had
mental problems when I said absolutely nothing in criticism of you.
Nothing. It was out of the blue.
As I said at the time, there was never anything but respect for you
from me and I didn't deserve that. Knowing that it was an
off-the-cuff rant from you I asked for an apology. Didn't happen.
Notice that none of my posts to you are related to politics.

Utter bullshit. Anyone can find general information, such as the area
of a computer if you have the ip. But you can't get any specific
information about the computer user information. One doesn't have to
go to an ISP to do that.

You haven't notice the times when Google Groups won't return any results
for a search you know should have results?
Really?
Well here's an example:
Look at the page that says I posted 75482 times since 2001 (which said
2004 when I visited the page yesterday):
<http://groups.google.com/groups/profile?enc_user=szhcZxQAAADSOqJAZimVQAU

Really?
Well here's an example:
Look at the page that says I posted 75482 times since 2001 (which said

Nope.
I'm claiming that you took a couple of stills out of a couple of quite
long videos and that you're not motivated to post the best swing you saw.
OTOH, Larry almost never posts anything but a single swing (or perhaps
two) and given his personality, does anyone doubt that he doesn't pick
the one that was the best?
Come on, David, the man is all about exaggeration. He claims to be
hitting his 9 iron 150 yards for goodness sake!

Your evidence fails to distinguish which result may be right, or
wrong.
The number of posts also changes with "sort by date/relevance", but
you still have failed to establish any reason to not suspect GG simply
does not return all posts.
So, your evidence is insufficient to support your implied conclusion
that GG inflates posting stats.
As usual.

Fine. I've just shown that when you do an actual search for a particular
time period it returns a much smaller numer.
Your turn to "establish any reason to not suspect" it has returned all
results....

The idea is no preposterous, because it is the simple fact of the matter.
If you want proof of that, I'm willing to provide it, but not to an
anonymous posting id on the internet.

You spent two days in a class and two days on the slope learning how
to teach beginners to make turns and you only completed level I of 4
teaching levels.
Yet you were going around boosting about your "extensive" instructor
training that made you an expert on instruction.
