Robert,
Don't take this personally, I just want to address my thoughts about the above.
I completely agree that golf is a game and it should be fun. But for those in any sports industry, it's much more. There are many professionals here that put bread on the table by..."playing golf". We also have instructors here that make a living by helping others "play golf". This site is owned by Lynn Blake and it's his playground or as he would say "garden". But it's also an indispensible tool for marketing Lynn's business. Which...you guessed it...puts bread on the table.
I play golf in the true sense. It's just a hobby and a passion. Like all of my hobbies and passions, I take them pretty seriously, but they are secondary to faith, family and my real job. This site and the management of it does not put bread on the table for me. However, I take it very seriously. Otherwise...well...if the site goes down for a few days, no biggie. Oh, and I'll get to those videos when I feel like it...I s'pose. Upgrades and new services...ugghhh...when I get around to it.
No way.
I'm very proud of what we've done here with help from Trig and Bambam, and the things we are planning to do. I'm completely absorbed in the development and the side benefits are motivating; helping members in my own way (by developing and running this site), and learning from Lynn and others.
Is golf fun? You bet. It gets better all the time.
Do I take it seriously? Very.
Is this all a game? Of course. But I play it with all my heart.
Lynn has contibuted a tremendous amount of enlightenment to Homers work and it's all here. But the well is deep and there is much more to come.
