  This might be a good place for club owners to  share the fun and frustration side of running  a club.

  Here's the latest that I had to endure:

  I bet we could fill a book with these:

   

  This one below beats all. He joined on the 18th May, I got this today, the 19th.

  "I sent invites to all the club legends of which only about 50% were accepted. I have received no friend invites at all and there is never anyone from the club online to play with. For that reason i am going to look elsewhere m8. Thks anyhow and good luck."

  You certainly gave it a lot of time, and wasted mine.

  If you put a bit of intelligence to your impatience, you should realise that it's only one day since you joined. There are time zone differences to consider, and people have other things to do besides logging on to WGT.

  The fun in here is the best bit, and you are funny.

  Usually?  Resign? That is sad.  Why don't you start up your own club, call it The Perfect Country Club.

  I've stopped scratching my head, but will give up if I lose my sense of humour.

  There's always one.

  Why do you even get involved in these spats, it seems a regular occurrence with you Dub.

  Yes, its a waste of time, accepting a request and posting a welcome message on their wall and it annoys the hell out of me too but i don't get involved.

  Have a thicker skin and just ignore it.

  to be fair, the guy gave you a valid reason, shouldda just left it at that in my opinion.

  Here we go again.  

  "To be fair"? One day in the club and all those complaints?

   Why do the morons even bother?

  I was being reasonable and he started the insults, no need for it at all, to be fair.

  Go back to your club Talluin and stop waiting to pounce. Take some of your own advice, ignore me!

  gladly..

  you can't seem to stop painting a target on yourself by complaining about one thing or another.

  'Try running a club and see how you feel'

  I DO run a club,  successfully and it bothers me immensely when players join, then leave within minutes/hours etc but it happens coming to the forums and calling someone out aint gonna stop it.

  fair play golf club?  hardly... if you disagree with the owner!  who then comes running to the public forums and calls you out and copy pastes PRIVATE messages.

  All club owners have problems, its only natural when strong influences and strong characters all come together, there are disagreements ALL THE TIME, but i don't see many owners come running to the forums with their grievances. 

  I could fill this forum with stories like this but for what purpose?  What is the purpose of your post at all if not to promote replies like mine and therefore getting into spats.

  I see you've edited your original reply perhaps you hadn't realised i was a club owner too!

  for the record.. its 'Trials and Tribulations'

  Deal with it in your CC .

  Why come in the main forum with this? 

  p.s. trivialations is not a word, try tribulations, Dumbfurk.

  I didn't call anyone out. Yes Tallium, I  noticed that I made a mistake and corrected it.

  Fair Play is not about agreeing or disagreeing.

  Tribulations v Trivualisations...I was playing with the words. 

  It's trivial what I posted Tallium, but you saw something else.   I was hoping to get some light funny stories in response (without calling anyone out),  it is after all just a game . Lighten up will ya Tallium. 

  None of it bothers me immensely, it is annoying when some of our efforts are just wasted time. Here's another that had me scratching my head.

  One player that I deleted from the membership today posted this when he joined in early May.....

   "..........Thanks for the invite, I sorta gave up on clubs cause no one gets involved anymore....."    He didn't play any club t's during his time with us.

  It's Talluin.....

  NOT Talluim or Tallium.

  Trivialisations is a word  Trivialations IS NOT.

  You DID call someone out.. and made it public, that's bad form, end of story.  just because asterisks appear in the name doesn't mean the hyperlink doesn't work.

  It bothered you enough to make a PRIVATE matter public, not for the first time either.

  Are you finished Talluin, have another look, maybe there's a dot missing from an eye or a Tea left uncrossed.

  You're enjoying this.

  I have found in the last six months of running my club that players stay much longer and get involved if nominated by a member - so I keep the door shut except for that.

  No real complaints from anyone either which is fine with me !!
