Happy New Year Thoughts and Offerings

"Yeah we ain't afraid to play

So watch out for it,

we're gonna Make it happen"

Sung by Selena Gomez they tell me.

Happy New Year to all.

And thanks to all for this home-away-from-home forum.

I was wondering about giving annual awards to posters.

The Hoscars.

- Best Original Post.

- Best Post from Original Swing Thought.

- Best Swing Remake of the Original.

- Most Honest Poster

- Most Helpful Poster

- Most Unintelligable / Confused Poster.

I could make some nominations but i won't.

Anyhow, not hungover unfortunately and messing around.

Offering 1 (without comment):

Offering 2:

Question really. I am guessing first image is from Power Golf days versus later on.

I know they are different iron lengths and colour pic is from what looks like more a half-swing video,

but very different backswing, hands position etc.

My New Year Resolution:

To have at least 6 rounds under par this year.

Happy New Year Pinsplitter (and everyone) and thanks for the "offerings". If we're doing golf resolutions, mine is to translate last year's practice tee progress to the course and scorecard. And to spend more time working on putting; OK, 2 resolutions!

Happy New Year!

Nervous tic was not Hogan's secret.

We need to get JBOMB back on board. He may fit a category or two. I thought his Moe Norman post was going to be a dumpster fire, but it went in the opposite direction of many posts (all forums) - ugly to intelligent.

What the heck, I will make some nominations.
The Bouncing Puppy Award for Enthusiasm --> Tylerdurden
The Barefoot Everest Expedition Without Oxygen Award --> Ben Hogan Swing Project
The Martin Luther Award for Posting Heresy --> JBOMB808

How could I be when someone is honest and right on money

Confusion is our widest gate to real learning. Some very old and respected organizations are using it to get good men better

Wow! What an honor. I didn't expect this. First off, let me thank the others in the category. It is exciting to actually win, but it is more incredible to be placed in the category with the other fellows. I would like to thank the academy, the fans, and a very special thanks for Kim for listening to 1,342,443 golf balls being whacked into the canvas wall the past year. I don't take this award lightly. I will be sure to carry it with me to all driving range and course sessions throughout 2013. In closing, my feet are numb and blistered from all the ice and snow, but I am halfway up this great mountain. At times the oxygen does get thin and I must fight for breath, but I will keep treading onward and upward. Again, this is just too much.......thank you everyone! Thank you fans! Good evening to everyone!!

Congratulations BHSP; wonderful speech, and you seem to have gotten it all in before the orchestra began playing you off the stage!

Ahemmm!!!!!
Could someone whisper in BHSP's ear that these are nominations only!

Mahahahaha! You mean I ran all the way up to the stage in this golf tuxedo and I didn't even win..........yet?!? Grrrrr. Now I'm probably gonna be all over TMZ.

This is my thread so I'm gonna use it.
See ya later, off to Burma for 10 days.
Going to be hunting for golf clubs left behind by the British invaders.
Cheers... gee i am sick of this warm sunny weather and 50 balls for a dollar driving ranges.
