  First of all to Alosso- Since I do not know you I think it is very rude and of you to come on here to knock my equipment and my levels.  I did not ask for your opinion of my gear nor am I concerned as to what you think.  If you cant be positive then please shut yer f****** mouth.  Further posts of this nature will be reported to admin.  Thanks so much mate and have a nice day!

   Alosso wasn't "knocking" your equipment. 

   We all play this game for fun and a lot of that fun is trying to improve. YOU were the one asking about viewing clubs in the pro shop. I ,too, would assume that you were interested in upgrading clubs ( or why else bother looking). And Alosso was spot on. First upgrade should be a lttle longer driver... I gather you've done that. After that, the absolute best thing anyone can do is to burn those starter wedges and get cheap Pings or ATV's. Those starter wedges are only good for hitting the ball more or less in the direction you want it to go... they have ZERO spin with cheap/free balls, an nerrly zero with good balls.

    Scoring shots have always been, and always will be, inside 100 yards or so. Better wedges will leave you shorter putts more regularly,which should lead to lower scores, which should = more fun.

   So... ease off on the sensitvity. The best thing about WGT is this community. Except for a few bad apples, these forums are full of players offering game play tips and club advice. Alosso was doing just that, and you BITE the hand of friendship he offers?

   You should tuck your tail between your legs and apologize to him for being such an ass.

  You're the one being rude...alosso was offering friendly advice.  Jeff is right, you owe alosso an apology.

  BigTrap, for sure it is your own business what clubs you use but anyone is entitled to offer advice, are they not? It would be interesting to know your reason for carrying two drivers for instance. Also, the one good wedge you have is the longest one and my experience say that it is the short one that usually allow you to make a birdie. If you do not want to spend too many credits, you should welcome any advice instead of threatening to report those who try to help you to the admin's. Your reaction is actually quite comical.

  ^^^ +1.

  alosso spends a lot of time here helping and making suggestions to people on their equipment selections (myself included in the past) and to be treated in this way is certainly not classy. I think an apology is due him.

  Members may not be so helpful in the future to you Big Trap, should you need help again. And we all need help or advice at some point on our journey here, no matter what level we are at. I hope things work out regarding the Pro Shop question...

  Bob.

  You're just winding everyone up aren't you ? You must be. Either that or you're a complete 'spanner' ! You've told a guy who's trying to help you to " shut his f******* mouth, then threaten to report people to admin ? Are you having a laugh at our expense ?

  You annoy me greatly............Go away !

  Me annoy you Really?  Okay his advise was unsolicited and unwarranted.  Fine. I wasnt asking about clubs I was asking to view certain clubs.  That was answered by a few people and it was appreciated. So If I needed advise about clubs I would have asked that but I didnt.  Its a game .  Go play you bunch of sissies.

  edit:  Was going to say something witty but then I'd just have to come back and explain it to you.

  Happy New Year!

  Yes, it's annoying. An old Roman saying begins "Si tacuisses..." It's a pity that you didn't.

  I wasn't rude on you certainly. Neither did I knock on your level, and I was all positive in my posts, until now.

  I think now that you're lying on all this for certain reasons.

  Furtheron, it was rather rude of you to use an f-word on me and call anybody a sissy without any reason.

  I'd be happy if you'd report me or report this thread - you'll find the button, will you?

  BTW: I'll only communicate with you in public places.
