I’ve been pulled a couple of times on api and I know detective inspectors crawsey and burtoncat think I’m cheating but the reality is because I can only use one hand I’m very limited in the way I can swing, the controller rests on my right thigh and I pull back with my ring finger and push forward with my thumb, any other way and the controller moves thius making it impossible to swing anywhere near straight. Just out of interest what is the “correct” way to swing? A couple? Couple is 2. I think it’s more than 2 isn’t it? Correct way to swing: A swing that will stop you getting pulled by API? One that doesn’t show short. Don’t flick it, push it. Give it a go. If I push it to much the controller moves and the swing goes completely off line that’s the problem

Back in the play world, safely navigated the cut with -8 & -13 opening. Will need to keep up round 2 form to have bash at the top ten... mais c'est possible.
Nice course again this week, save the couple of "thread the needle" fairways, which my swing doesn't especially enjoy.

Welcome to the real world When I mean moves it falls off my leg as I haven’t got hold of it with my other hand and the swing goes way off line So you're committed enough to put in the hours, plough through API pulls (more than a couple of times), fly up the rankings, yet not committed enough to try and find a way to stop your pad flying off your leg and swing in a way that is a) acceptable to the API, and b) not giving you an unfair advantage? Seriously, I'm sorry to hear that your other hand is unable to assist - That's a tough break - But there are ways to work round it I'm sure, if you want to try. I also rest my pad on my leg, yet I have the benefit of two working hands. It was getting a bit slippery, so I bought a rubber pad cover. I couldn't make my pad fall off my leg by full swinging, I don't think, but I'll give it a try in Smiffy's Aces now. Maybe, as a compensation, you could put your leg on a more steep angle, use a Yellow Pages or something to raise your foot... That combined with a rubber cover could stabilise you enough to pass the API? I don't know... Maybe those ideas are all crazy, or maybe you have already tried that sort of fix?

Come to the mouse side. Get a bluetooth one and hook it into the USB port. The Mouse Side is calling for you.

The rubber pad I haven’t that’s a good idea I’ll give that a try, I’m guessing you mean something that is tacky and will grip the pad and my leg?

Here is my first one handed hole. Sorry for the long pauses - I was using my other hand to send a message about how ridiculous this all is (honestly) I missed the putt, but I think that if I practiced, I could do it

So what you’re saying is if the line doesn’t go all the way up it triggers the api?

Ok cheers fadge most helpful, The more I think, the easier this gets. Loop 2 elastic bands together, put it under your leg, a loop on each controller “handle” and it’s wedged. Full swing to your hearts content
