Swing Tweaks

Made some tweaks to my golf swing today.
Since I already have a basic form, the adjustments were mental and quite subtle.

I have a TV recording at home called "Drive, Chip & Putt", which is about the national finals of the junior golf skills competition in 2006. In this recording, kids were divided into 4 age groups: 7-8. 9-10, 11-12 and 13-14, and they can drive close to 200 yards!

It may sounds funny, but the adjustment was following the swing- tempo and form of the kids.
I also added a technique from the instructor of my wife related to the wrist at the top of the swing (don't cork).

The result is improved distance and consistency. I got par on 2 holes, including one difficult par 5.

全求人 + 獨聽

今天 A, B, R, Y 小姐在打怪獸六獨麻雀(越南+平斷摸門缺將獨). 有一局有人十二章落地叫糊. 因為打的是六獨麻雀, 若有人打出便是全求人(加一番).

好學的A小姐問: 若有人打出給全求人食糊, 那麼應否加上獨聽? 因為全求人"by definition"是必須獨聽的, 比如十三么也是不計獨聽的.

當時我的答案是計的, 因為叫糊的人自摸是計獨聽的(自摸加獨聽兩番). 加上我聽說過不論自摸或打出,十二章食糊的番數是相同的.

各方高手有何高見?
