    What Draws us Here?

    If any of you are like me (if you are, my deepest sympathies) you find yourself working away on the computer at work and all of a sudden you get the urge to login here and see what banter is taking place.....

    What attracts us so often during the day?

    I mean besides the gentle reminder emails that says someone has replied to a message board you have subscribed to!

    Now that is a resounding positive reason for people to come in and browse!

    I must admit, it is fun, I used to be a Sysop for the Canada Forum on Compuserve until my wife figured 18 hours a day in the forum was a bit excessive!

    I'm here waiting for Ottawagolfnut to post some more pics, I love tearing them apart Seriously, it passes the time while not golfing. It's always good to hear other people's likes/dislikes - questions/anwsers, I'm happy there is a place I can tune in & chime in when I feel like.

    Thanks for the forums Dan

    No it's not quite summer but we have had a couple of decent days so that most of the snow melted. Everyone asks me are you playing today but I just tell them I don't want to wet my appetite for golfing outside just as of yet. I'll just keep hitting into the screen and practicing at the Dome.

    My therapist says it's good for me...

    Seriously, I've made a lot of friends as a result of this forum. Some that I now know face to face, and some I've yet to meet in person. It's a really cool place to hang (especially during the winter months) and share our passion for this magnificent obsession. We may not all agree all of the time, but we all have at least this one thing in common, we LOVE golf.
    When applying the Rules, you follow them line by line. You don't read between them.

    I am looking forward to meeting some of you 'gentlemen' this summer, hopefully I will get the opportunity.

    What makes you say 'we may not agree all the time'???

    Hmmmm, if this only is spare time, I would hate to see how many posts you would make if you had more 'spare time'

    True, but before I was a moderator I was on just as much. Being a moderator just makes me feel better about the amount of time I spend on the site!

    You are easily appeased, at least thats what 4Iron was saying earlier ! I bet you also justify having the 6th beer because the case looks odd with 7 beer left in it!

    The case only looks good when no beers are left.(Insert chest thumping here)

    Point taken bud .... and I assume that it is at that point that you:

    A) Go into severe depression
    B) Assume the drunken stupor position
    C) Head for the Beer Store for a refill
    D) Ask the wife to go to the Beer Store to replenish (with her $$$ of course)

    Good call on that one LobWedge!

    Indio, you are correct on B,C,D. And unless you mean depression because the well has run dry then you are correct there as well.

    I meant Gary's RCGA rules threads, not the "Forum Rules".

    I think LobWedge actually meant the "Rules" forum, where some heated arguments have developped over the rules of golf.

    Alright, I was 4 for 4!!!

    The way I look at it.............

    No golf = sad bordering on depression
    No Beer = DEEP DEPRESSION
