If you really want to get to know someone, spend the day on a golf course with them

Here's a question for #golfstr

What's the nicest course within a 100 mile radius of you?

USE THE 8 IRON

One of the best ways to add strokes to your scorecard is by using a wedge around the greens

Especially for new golfers or people who don't golf much

Chipping with a 52 56 or 60 degree wedge requires a ton of precision

Instead, try using your 7 or 8 iron from around the green and just hit it like a putt

An 8 iron is much more forgiving and carries more weight, making it easier for the clubhead to slide through the grass

General rule of thumb:

If you can, putt it

If you have to chip, use an 8 iron

And in the rare case of having to elevate the ball quickly, then use a wedge

#golfstr

BETTER BUNKERS ⛱️

Greenside bunkers are challenging.

But trying to gauge a long bunker shot or fairway bunker is almost impossible for most amateurs.

The first rule is to just get it out of the bunker.

Don't get greedy or try to get too cute.

But here's the best tip we've found through years of experimenting:

The shorter the shot (greenside), the more sand you take before the ball

*always take a full swing, but adjust the amount of sand you're taking before the ball.

The longer the shot (fairway), the less sand you take before the ball

*you're basically picking it clean from longer approach shots

This tip comes in handy when you have the highly difficult 30-50 yard bunker shots.

For best results: practice this technique before taking it to the course.

THE OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP ⛳️

NOSTR EXCLUSIVE CONTEST

Missing the bitcoin golf pool this week?

Don't worry.

Here's the plan:

Comment with your pick for the winner of the 2024 Open Championship

Then zap any amount you want

KNG Golf will contribute the first 2000 sats, and the winner(s) will take home that + the zaps on this post

If more than one person picks a player, they will split the pot between them

Deadline is today before the last putt goes in (likely around 3pm EST)

So once again,

Pick the winner

Zap the post (any amount)

Enjoy the Open

Were doing a bitcoin and golf livestream this morning on zap stream - join us around 930am EST!

GOOD LUCK!!!

Never lost your temper,

Never got down on yourself,

Always developed a strategy before hitting,

And always played within your capabilities?”

⛳️ UPDATES ⛳️

It’s officially spring here in the prairies.

Starting to feel like summer.

Most courses in the area are open. The home course opens this weekend!

Here’s a few updates to share:

1. BITCOIN GOLF TOUR - officially underway.

Two of us have bought 1M sats each. We plan to golf four rounds each summer using these sats. And we will do it until we run out of sats - or we die of old age - whatever comes first.

We will be competing in a 72-hole stroke play match over the course of the summer. The winner will get the Orange Jacket and 100k sats!

Season 1 will filmed this summer and shared on our YouTube channel.

We have a few sponsors so far (Grey Ridge Coffee and Bitcoin News) but are looking for a few more. A great way to get your brand in front of bitcoiners for an extremely reasonable amount of sats!

We’re also looking for some bitcoiners from across the world to join us on this journey with 1M sats in their wallet and providing updates and stories!

2. TOUCH GRASS - 0002 is today

An (almost daily) live golf show exclusively on zap.stream!

The focus is practical and enjoyable ways to play better golf.

We expect traffic to be low for the first bit but we’re going to push forward. The “exclusively on zap.stream” aspect is important.

The shows will start around 10am EST most mornings. You can join us here:

21 LESSONS IN GOLF ⛳️

Helping you enjoy the game more,

And be more enjoyable to play with.

LESSON # 1

DO NOT CHEAT

The remainder of these 21 lessons will not be in any particular order, but this one has to be first.

It is the most important one.

You could do a million things right over the course of your life. But if you cheated in golf, and someone else noticed, that’s what they will remember about you forever.

Golf is a gentleman’s game.

It’s okay to move it away from a tree when you’re out for a fun round and don’t want to break your club.

But if you’re playing a competitive round, you should never cheat. Under any circumstances.

There is nothing to gain by cheating. People won’t remember your score on the hole or at the end of a round. They’re too focused on their own game and their own score.

But they WILL remember when you miscounted on a hole, or dropped a ball out of your pocket and pretended it was yours.

Nothing to gain.

Everything to lose.

Your reputation is all you have.
