So, what's the process by which a user can be stripped of their skins?

Does the person who originally awarded them need to change their mind and recall them?

Or is it a centrally imposed punishment - a bit like being put in the stocks for farting in church?

The latter rather than the former.

In the somewhat distant past, "negative" reputation could also be awarded.  That's no longer an option.......and in my ever so humble opinion, rightfully so.

Goodness me. Then I seem to have cleared a pretty high bar. :whistle:

Not that I had a lot to lose - but you know what they say about the preciousness of hard-earned pennies.

I dunno. To be honest I've been ignoring your posts lately. I know you've barricaded yourself in a few threads but I've largely been avoiding those threads as they've become pretty monotonous.

I just tried to give a skin and then take it away, but it appears I cannot do that.  Enjoy the skin, birly.

Don't spend it all in one place.

lol @ my new sig.

@birlyshirly ,

Some threads degrade into name calling and attacks.  It is best to avoid getting caught up in that and just present your opinion without attacking back (even if the poster went after you first).  It never leads to a good outcome.  Even some long time members can get drawn into the fray.

Thanks bplewis. You should have added a comment, like "For experimental purposes only. Not for bragging rights"! :-D

Sound advice boogie. Not sure I've really fallen out with anyone except where there's been a celebrity golfer involved. I guess I need to tread carefully where there's a showbiz element.

@bplewis24- your fairy godmother must be watching!

Your skin has been repatriated, and I am busted back down to buck private.

Thanks for the memories!

That particular "skin" was removed because it was given accidentally. No other skins from your account were removed by me or, to my knowledge, anyone else.

I did note that you've apparently never given a skin.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
