Amen to that.

As someone said earlier, Dan has not just built a website for golf, he has put together a community here in this 'small town'

Kilroy just posted for everyone to check out Ottawa Golf, provided a URL link, then MOK deleted the post and banned Kilroy.

I was wondering what happened. Wish I had seen the post.

The ship they run over there is sinking so fast it will be under water before the owners wake up and man the lifeboats.

That site has become a total joke, mainly because there is a core group of members who think their S**T doesn't stink.

One member who is fairly new to golf has suddenly become an expert in all areas of the game of golf, from club building to how to play the game etc etc. The funny part is he once asked Harry for advice on having a set of clubs built. Then he went on TGN and cut Harry up like a fish.

Fast learner I guess

Harry, TOURIQ has been WITCH HUNTED so many times over there it is pathetic. All due to the fact he once turned down their generous offer to be a paying sponsor. Ever since that time he has nothing but hassles by a chosen few over there. I'd name them but I will not stoop down to their level of ignorance.

Sole sponsorship is basically dictatorship IMO and will cause nothing but hassles. Apparently the owners of TGN could care less.

BTW, when I asked to have my account suspended over there I received an email stating "Your account has been deleted and you are now BANNED FOR LIFE from joining this site"

I asked to have my account suspended, I did not ask to be BANNED FOR LIFE

Not that it matters as this forum is head and shoulders about TGN, always has been and always will be.

Dan you do a great job on this site and trust me it does not go unnoticed from day to day.

Plus I find the majority of the members here are have far more knowledge about the game and the golf industry on a whole. Which in turn makes it a far more pleasant forum to post on.

BTW I noticed no one JUMPED on Harry for posting the info on his site on this forum.

It only took a few seconds. LOL!

Trust me, enough people saw it.... Hi I'm Dave and I'm a golfaholic.....

... The TGN situation is a joke. Gettin sick and tired of being sick and tired.

**Kilroy** · 11-17-2007 05:45 PM

Welcome Dave. I wasn't really trying to scoop members. Just making a point. It workred WAY better than expected! I am judjing that by the super fast reaction, not the flood of new members

And I thought the owners were not paying any attention!

**mpare** · 11-17-2007 05:53 PM

Are you sure that Mushaffaf is not running the TGN? I don't visit the site. Why bother when they are so restrictive and when we have such a good site here. Keep up the good work Dan and mods. You have our wholehearted support.

Subtle point, but I linked to Toronto-Golf.ca Still our forum, but the site is Toronto focused. They won't tolerate that there.

Anyone who knows of any other Ottawa, Toronto, Kingston or London based golf sites are more than welcome to post links here

Dan, can the OGF server handle the influx........???

Its chaos over there..........threads are getting locked by the minute and people being banned just as fast...................

I am still surviving, but better watch my Sens Leafs comments........

**Kilroy** · 11-17-2007 05:59 PM

We can always upgrade the server. Bring it on.

PM and email all the IT guys (Hacker, Indio and company.......).

I can see a new forum happening here "ONTARIO GOLF FORUM".......

Wow, think about the advertising possibilities............

ROFLMAO.... it took me about 1 minute to figure out who Golfing in Ottawa was!

You sure do like to stir the pot over there don't you. If I was from Toronto or a Leafs fan, I would have wanted to strangle you after about your 3rd post!

There will be a new one up and running shortly... I'll be sure to let everyone know when it's ready. It's nice to know there are places where sanity reigns....

As opposed to "wanting to strangle me" after some of my 2nd posts on this forum......

Dan already has some very capable IT guys believe me

We already have the following domains...

www.GolfResource.net the umbrella site
www.OttawaGolf.com The original
www.KingstonGolf.ca Second startup - little sister site
www.Toronto-Golf.ca New and growing fast - note all the new Toronto area users
www.London-golf.ca 4th startup in an important market if we want to cover Ontario properly
www.Golf-Florida.us Partner site with Can-Am who have been doing discount golf for quebec snowbirds forever.

The server can handle it. It is one dedicated server for the websites and a second server for ReservationMasters online booking. Believe me we can handle any influx.

**mpare** · 11-17-2007 06:17 PM

Now that is funny.

Hi Dan

Would you mind identifying the handle name of your cast of Mods. This thread is rich in how they conduct themselves, and its probably a little easier when the members have more respect for each other. Anyway I know Geoff is a Mod but unsure of the others. They have been getting praise all week so who are they?

Congrats goes to you too Dan 'the unsung hero' for keeping it all together + fun.

**jvincent** · 11-17-2007 08:57 PM

You can recognize the mods since they all use their full names and not screen names.

**Indio** · 11-17-2007 08:59 PM

Anyone who uses their full name and has the OttawaGolf Avitar are your culprits

**MusicMan** · 11-17-2007 09:12 PM

Well, at least one sponsor is upset enough to leave over the crap:
