   MKG is being honest, don't pick on this man. I don't take meds but probably should. Best reason to not spend any money is when you don't have any.

  I'm out of here before my brain gets fried. 

  Here's a summary of Foxy's posts since he came in from the cold 4/5 months ago?? It actually works out out to 9 months but what's in a little exaggeration?

  Note how the majority of posts contain LOL.

  He's all yours sympathisers. 

  Forget the indecipherable use of the English language, educational standards throughout the developed world vary immensely but to spurn the plethora of offers of help from Champions down to mere Leg-ends, beggars belief. Any sensible person would have snapped up any or all of the offers proffered.  If that's not the epitome of idiocy I sure don't know what is.

  

   

  James, you really have very little clue, when it comes to this game. If you want some advice, let me answer a few of your querries, which Phil copied from your profile.

   

  From May 6th

  When you use EZ swing clubs, you need to understand that their accuracy rating should've been rated -1. It's normal that they veer off course, that's why nobody (but you, I guess) uses them.

  December 9th. Par 5 course gets trickier after the 1st 4 holes. But it's not the game trying to get you, it's the fact you don't get the game. You say putts are stopping short and you said in another post you're using young46's calc. What you and most who complain don't realise is that no calc will help you, if you don't understand, how putting works. For example, being 11 feet away doesn't mean your putt will travel 11 feet to the hole. If there's a severe break, the line that putt needs to take to get there might be 15 feet long and if you calculate your power according to the 11 feet from the pin (instead of 15, which the putt travels to get there), you'll naturally be short.

   

  August 22nd

  Hitting a 100y club at 75% power does not mean it'll fly 75y. The lower the % on the power bar, the more distance (and spin) the club loses. 

   

  December 8th

  BPB #13 has first fringe, then a strip of fairway and then fringe again. Remember this, always chip from the fringe on that hole and nothing like this will never happen again.

   

  There, some of your gripes were just explained. If you have any further questions, feel free to let me know, either on my wall or friend me for the use of the messages.

  Cheers, Jure

  Check - Raise !

  Not a bad move to be sure, but I'd be inclined to go all-in, hoping to eliminate one of the two ahead of me and the possibility of one of them drawing out on me, and be odds-on favorite in the heads-up showdown.

  its does make me laugh a lot when i see u "signed up 6yrs ago...blah blah blah"....i signed up only played for a few weeks then went off to play settlersonline.....only come back to wtg about 4-5months ago now...:)..

   

  despite all the replies i have had to my posts not one has ever managed to explain the anomalies i post about....

  i know use a putting calc from young46...and although i check every putt for any elevation and check i using the right meter (15,25,30,50 etc..)...for no reason at all a few putts just stop short (by quiet a large margin ) i cannot see a reason for this as all other putts go the right distance....2+2 should always = 4 not like here sometime it = 3.5.....

   thing is instead fo answering this type of question all i get is insulted and abused by a select few every time.....who probably think they funny but are instead just juvanlie

  If when you are playing a round with moderate to heavy winds, ST Andy's Moderate is other courses heavy do you allow for/factor in headwind for your putts, That could be why some of your putts are coming up short

  @MK86 Oh the thread from the fireman who was quitting the game because they didnt want to invest the time into earning free credits or spend money to upgrade their clubs . No the difference between him and James is that I read James post as nothing more than a jest and venting about the game . I wasnt the one trying to throw a pity party for him or James either . Now if you want to take it that way then thats on you and anyone else who climbs in that boat with you .

  Also they had come into the forum to announce they were quitting the game and no one even knew who they were . Yeah I remember that thread and how everybody got bent all out of shape over it . The player came back and told the sympathizers that they didnt want a pity party and couldnt understand why they had made such a fuss over their post . Just like here all of this fuss over nothing .

  Just like I have said here before this is just a game . All of the berating fussing and disrespecting each other over it is ridiculous . If James gets all of you so upset then why not just ignore his posts? Does it really take all of this and all of it over a game ? A so called bunch of adults acting more like sharks in a feeding frenzy than children and all over a game and what some one had to say about it .

  "In regard to transparency......  exactly what are you asking?   A forum rule book with associated penalties?  A list of acceptable words and examples of intentional misspellings?   Remember----  It's an Internet Golf Game Forum----    is a sentencing handbook really necessary?"

  Even kindergarten has one of these ^^^. 

  Perhaps it would be in your best interest to request the Kindergarten version of the Forum Rule Book............   The Dr. Seuss pictorial version should help with the lack of comprehension skills..........

  What's folks problem with LuckySkreet?

  The bitchfest with Col aside (that's their thing), what's he done to deserve the vitriol, did I miss something?

  LOL PT........     Naaa...you missed nothing, it's the usual Colon'ettes  scurrying to defend Harvey..........  Speaking of the "Wallbanger";  I'm quite certain he's frantically penning some ridiculous, irrelevant  wall post on your profile page............
