  I will never play enough ( or have the skills) to be a top player.

  I do however enjoy talking ***. I am not alone in this.  :)

  MAYBE..................that's part of the REASON he's been so successful here on WGT....and is WINNING so often. He's been playing WGT golf instead of writing here in the Forum.  Not sure...........just saying.

  Success is relative and doesn't always mean scoring the best. If one is secure enough to realize that they will never be as whatever it takes to be the best, the next best thing is helping others that don't think that way and endeavor to be up there. That's success, to me. So it takes 12,000 posts, so what? There's several thousand rounds to go with that, too, just for credibility's sake. 

  This is as much a community as it is a golf site. That was one of MisterWGT's goals. Just look at the cast of characters that do frequent the forum and do have thousands of posts-a veritable cross section of a real community. And as for that player with only 1300 posts in 4 years, that's no different than comparing me to Tiger Woods. If I didn't work so much and played as often as he does do you think I would be as good as him? Who would build the kitchens then?  Or accumulate 12,000 posts? ;-)

  This site is more than just some golf game that you go play everyday . This is a community and i for one enjoy that part of it just as much as i do golf. I am not the best player and im very far from it but im ok with all it. No matter how much i post /play.

  BOBTX61:

  It seems to me that some WGT members spend WAY too much time posting.

  How would you know what is "WAY too much", how would you judge on the subject?

  What do you know about a person's primary goals? Take me for example - is Tour Legend my goal or is it 5000+ posts first? Is it many friends or the earnings of my CC?

  Which of them would be justified?

  What would be your goal?

  And what is success? Tier? Average? Earnings? Awards?
  or friendship? fun? entertainment? relaxation? oblivion?

  Please come back when you have the One-And-Only answer, or when you have recognized partiality.

  May your day be full of insight and straight hitting! :)

  100% agree with YJ and the quote above sums it up.

  Would I be a better player if I did not post in the forums? Perhaps I would be, as from what you say Bob, that the time spent posting would have been spent playing. However I post mainly from work, where I do not play so in my case probably not.

  But I can thank, and have done in the past, the community for THEIR help in making me a better player, and in turn I now try and help players where possible. No I will never be one of the greats, I am just an average player who loves the game and I feel part of the community. I could play 24 hours a day and never be one of the Elite (for whom I admire for their tenacity and dedication to be at the top.
