Gotta be honest, i didn't know members were actually banned, just thought they went elsewhere.

Good to know and a nice touch in making it clear re banned profiles.

Some are. Not many. Fewer than almost any other site I've seen. Just as with any group of people, sometimes you get an occasional bad egg.

Definitely a good change. Now we won't have people replying to accounts that are banned accidently.

Unrelated, but it seems like we've had a lot fewer people go full troll and get completely banned in the past year or two. That's probably a good thing, right?

We don't ban that many people, period. Never have.

Sometimes I think that's been to the detriment. We give people so many chances, it ends up creating more hostility as people can keep trolling, and agitating, etc. Sometimes a quicker ban would have been a wiser choice.

But basically, we ban about four to six unique non-spammers per year, and it's usually not six.

    • I agree with this 100%. I forget what tour player said it but they mentioned how in pro ams they hear amateurs say how they always make a majority of their mid range putts. His reply was no they don’t because if you did you’d be better than everyone on tour. Even pros think they’re better than they are. Back when stats weren’t as well known as today they asked a bunch of pros what the make percentage was on tour for 6 footers. The consensus was around 70%. Crenshaw was the closest with a guess of 50%. Actual percentage was 54%. I always thought it was interesting that one of the best putters was the closest. 
    • Day 145 - 2025-02-22 7-7 today at Golf Evolution. Managed to sneak in some work while waiting for dinner when I got home, though.
    • Day 15: 2/22/25 Putting through50 mm gates weight shift drills. Playing tomorrow, and will see how I do.
    • This is a good point and I’m going to go down this road. I’ll get some data on both techniques, compare the two, and then make a more informed decision. I’m bad about going off of what I “feel” is the best but should definitely approach it with more hard data.  All that being said, this made me laugh and is likely the cause of me wondering if the broomstick would be a better technique. I mean, who doesn’t want to get a new putter?
    • Day 32 (22 Feb 25) - Got in some wedge work with the 58° in the backyard before heading to a noon band rehearsal.  It’s the weakest part of my wedge game, so figured it would be good to work on distance control for a few minutes - varied the distances and lies from 5yds out to about 25yds.  Nice little drill session to kick off the day.
