Easy decision for me. I've gotten well over $36/year from this site, so I'm happy to do a little bit of supporting.

Damn right you do! Next TWO rounds, even!

Thank you! I really appreciate it. Enjoy the greatly reduced advertising.

And the other perks, too.

I'm new back to golf and still trying to keep the costs down. If I'm still golfing and visiting the site in six months then I'll be subscribing - there's definitely more that $36/yr worth of value here.

In the mean time, I've turned off my add blocker for this site and may even click on some of those pesky ads! 😉

Thank you! Membership already reduces the number of ads you see over being a guest, and becoming a Supporter reduces that number again.

BTW, I removed the banner at the top of the site for current Supporters because… it doesn't make sense for y'all to keep seeing a banner saying "Become a Supporter!" 🙂

I also changed the color to red.

As a paid supporter, are we supposed to be seeing ads like this? I don't consider them obscene, but some workplaces might not like them. I assume you don't have explicit control over which ads are displayed.

I don’t have specific control but you have some. See those symbols top right? Click them and you can make choices.

I do think that those ads are based at least partly on your browsing history, although you CAN turn off the personalization of the ads by clicking the little arrow at the top right corner of the ad, as @iacas mentioned a few posts back

Erik - decided that it is worth the cost of a local round of golf to do an annual subscription here.  You guys - the entire TST team offer some great advice as well as some really cool levity on the site.

Thank you @WillieT! May you enjoy a great year of golf and relatively ad-free browsing.

I use an ad-blocker, but I also know that keeping a site up has its costs (have run some non-golf related websites myself), so I am gladly willing to pay.
Even if I have just registered today, I have come here regularly in the past to read, so I have gotten the worth out of it already.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      By wacker · Posted

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
