I did. I read the whole thing before posting the topic. I don't fly
gliders, but from what I know, it would be weird to just go out, get
towed up and come right back 3 times for the purpose of landing
currency. I figured there might be some kind of exception for gliders,
considering I couldn't find any mention via a google search of anyone
doing such a thing. Same goes for balloon piloting.

3 pattern tows...they tow you to pattern altitude and release. It's
good practice....not just for landing, but for flying the pattern too.

Might ask this over in rec.avaition.soaring...
