Played competitively all through high school playing IJGT and AJGA my junior and senior year of high school, then some through college. Started to take it more seriously when I was 7, then tournaments when I was 9 with the MET PGA. I started golf when I was three years old with my dad as my teacher. You might be a great reader of putts, but if your speed is off you might fall under or over the line you read, hit it way past the hole, or even worse leave it completely short.Ībout the Student, Hayley Kaplan Hayley Kaplan with her dad The speed at which the ball rolls off the putter face is just as important as the direction in which it starts.
This forces them to have to decelerate on their forward stroke. The most common reason is the fact that they take too long of a backstroke. When a player decelerates during their putting stroke they slow the putter head down as it approaches the ball.

#DECELERATE BLUE GLADYS CODE#
It can be ordered from your local comic shop with Diamond code DEC16 1692. Still, it’s an appealing message underneath, to slow down and appreciate art.ĭecelerate Blue is due out February 14. I didn’t mind reading the first time through to find out what happened, but I don’t expect to read it again.
It’s an appealing fantasy, that a group of drop-outs could build their own secret society, but it’s so unlikely as to not fit in well with the science fiction backing of the setting. (Those who don’t remember history, as they say… and this work would have been stronger with more awareness of cultural context.) That reference made me feel as though I was too old for the book, since I knew more history than I was intended to. Still, when a group talks about taking a life-changing drug in a joint ceremony, all at once, if you’re a certain age, that’s going to evoke Jonestown, which I don’t believe is intended. Except this is a rigged game, by the authors, so we’re supposed to think that going along is soul-crushing until you find the right group to fit in with. Teenage rebellion is natural, but that doesn’t make everything she dislikes bad. I suspect we’re supposed to identify with Angela, but there were times when I thought she seemed over-indulged. I wanted to know more about this world and how it came to be. My favorite parts were the small moments giving more insight into what day-to-day life is like, such as the one scene in Angela’s classroom. I found the plot familiar, but that’s part of the appeal of a genre work, seeing the formula work itself out. Most of the book is black and white, but color is used sparingly to illustrate the most potent emotional moments. The art is sparse and spiky, creating a sense of the tension Angela feels, but at times I wasn’t sure exactly what we supposed to be seeing, or the lack of background becomes distracting. Then she finds an underground (literally) resistance movement, where she falls in love. She wants to live less rapidly, with more intention. Movies last under fifteen minutes.īut Angela has found a copy of the banned novel that suggests a different, slower way of life. Everyone has a tracking chip implanted in their arm. Using too many adverbs will draw the wrong kind of attention. Adam Rapp writes and Mike Cavallaro draws the story of Angela, a fifteen-year-old living in a world that emphasizes speed and hyper-consumption.Īll sentences end with the word “go”.
Decelerate Blue brings the popular dystopian YA genre of a young rebel finding her people to comics.
