Lets be friends.

I monitored a good ole forum fight between one Yoda and on Manzella way back.

And it aint worth it.

All here for the same thing...

To learn and apply it to our swings!

This degenerated into a sad thread through a seemingly innocuous remark. Thankfully there are few examples of threads of this standard here.
There are many contributors in the various forums only too willing to help players of all levels with top quality advice and friendly discussion. This makes it the best golf site on the web by far. We can keep it that way simply by playing the ball and resisting the temptation to play or belittle the man. You only have to check a few other sites to see how that tactic devalues the experience for everyone involved. Please, not here.

I for one do apologize for some of my remarks. Like any forum on the web, it is best to send some time with the members before dishing out any trash. As I said earlier, it helps to know what level of TGM experience he had and that takes more than a few posts. Many first timers say hello and explain who they are. That is a big help. And since no one knew- the explanation of the movement of just the forearm folding at the elbow was important. Over reacting to a misunderstanding has been unfortunate.

Emotion=intelligence=learning or the ability to learn much quicker.

This concept taken fron Steven Pinkers' "How The Mind Works".

You can read stuff all day and not apply it, but get involved by posting...make a claim about yourself!!! Do anything, pick a fight.. thse things make learning far quicker because you are forced to think about what you said.

The people out in lurk land need to understand this.

Leo, I disagree- lurkers can learn and lot, read the archieves and when they feel up to it ask questions, as I say dumber the better so we can get to the root of the question. Questions teach- so ask away. But to join and "pick a fight" to oddly simulate one's own learning process is self-centered and does nothing for the forum.

one and a half cents of my two cents.

My response was made in the heat of the moment and my excitement kind of got in the way. We agree Mike, I don't mean lurkers should literally pick a fight! They should question themselves and other members critcally. I thought the smile (

) in my post would've conveyed may lack of seriousness. Ahh....the misdemeanours of cyber space communication!

Hopefully if I hang around this place a bit more, and make more posts, you guys will know when I'm being 100% serious and when I'm not. It's hard to tell out here!

Cmon now, you guys like to throw in your nasty little metaphoric inuendos. Nothing odd or idiotic about it, just breaks up the boredom

I get a kick out of reading the responses that are creative.
