You are a long-term supporter with 377 posts. I'm thinking of an LBG 'scholarship' program whereby LBG will pay a portion of the event's cost based on the individual's post count. I know you are in school -- at least you were the last time we met in cyberspace -- so dollars are no doubt tight. So, your case may be extreme. Nevertheless, would such a program be a motivating factor?
And now the hook . . .
What if you really wanted to come, and you had already earned discounts at the 250, 300 and 350 post level. Would the 'hurdle' of 400 be an encouraging circumstance?
If so, I'm thinking we might get something going here . . . and get more than one or two people off the sidelines and into the game!
P.S. This is really golfgnome's idea. I'm just taking all the credit! Unless, of course, it doesn't work out, in which case it will be all his again.
By the way Yoda, you aren't affiliated with the Make a Wish Foundation, are you? I'd really like to know how long I have to live!

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
