  It is so sad that with the state of the world today. While terrorist are killing innocent women and children in so many countries around the world,  that you folks have written and commented(now 3 pages)j something such as weather it is a sin to play a computer golf game from the short tees rather then the long tees. Don't you see how silly this thing has become. Enough of this nonsense  let this post be the end of this.

  Canada just laid off 35,000 people in November...that is significant for us...given that oil and other natural resources are in the dumper, many of our jobs are now minimum wage or part time...and these folks speak English, French or both. Our Government has agreed to take in 35,000 refugees...who speak neither official language and who need urgent medical care from a country sorely in need of doctors and hospitals. What the hell are we gonna do with them?...add them to our bloated welfare rolls?  Where are we gonna house them?...for how long?...I could go on.

  So, I fully agree with Tony...the Middle East is imploding, Hundreds of thousands killed, wounded or displaced, OPEC is falling apart, Crime in the US is through the roof, Terrorism is rampant in Europe, the UN has been given $Billions, but has done nothing, Turkey and Russia seem ready to go at it...(and Turkey is part of NATO...so basically WW3) and we squabbling over a virtual golf game?

  GunnyHall:

  You have your view of the game and we have ours, we are here to have fun and your here because you must be bored and lonely.

  Please refrain from making ill judged assesments about my life. You could not be more wrong by the way. I lead a full and very interesting life surrounded by family and friends who love and appreciate me.

  This conversation serves no purpose since you will not play me, your buddy with only 5 friends and in a club by himself just makes my point for me.

  I have no idea who you are alluding to there. I am in a CC with 100 members and my friend list in the game is kept to a maximum of 256 as the game can't handle any more than that. Again  your ill judged presumptions are completely wrong.

  I will play you for fun if you wish  but not best of 5's, that's a borefest.

  Win or lose it will prove nothing other than that in the game I like to have a laugh and you will find that I am courteous and a fairly good player.

  I have no axe to grind with you or your CC personally but I will never change my opinion on the subject of red tee abuse demeaning the game.

  This debate has been fairly interesting but I think it has run it's course. If you start another recruitment thread for your CC I will not post i it.

  Paul.

  This forum is used to discuss the game and the game itself is a pleasurable distraction away from the worries of real life. Most of us are passionate about the game and it shows in this forum. 

  But that does not mean we are trivialising the problems we all face in the world today. Should we suspend all discussion in here because of world geo-politics?! Political debate is for other places. 

  Incidentally, Isis are responsible for disconnections and VEM.  Get a grip guys.

  "Incidentally, Isis are responsible for disconnections and VEM.  Get a grip guys."

  Paul...I never said that...but I'm pretty certain they're responsible for some the treacherous greens on these courses..:)

  As an aside, I think Gunny was referring to Solar Flares, not you :

  Ahh, I had to re-read the thread, I hadn't noticed Flares post before. If I was going to play a match with Gunny I would partner one of my CC friends. One of the games big hitters (we have a few!) as I would be keen to win it. No offence to Flares intended there.

  I routinely crush the ball...does it have to end up in the fairway?...if the ball has to go where I'm aiming it, that's kind of a deal breaker...just sayin'

  As for Paul Ton , i just get the impression that his mommy threw away the Baby and kept the afterbirth

  You are disgusting.

  Nah, nothing as sophisticated as that Paul, stick to words that won't require him to get the dictionary out.

  Just an arsehole.

  He did a spell in our CC and turned out to be, well, an arsehole.
