If you're interested in being a moderator, please share the reasons why here, as we'll look to add 1-3 moderators over the next few weeks.

Duties and obligations and perks:

  • Check in on the forum regularly.
  • Participate in the staff "Slack" group.
  • Manage some posting on the forum (typically this involves merging posts into existing topics).
  • Occasionally we have to hand out a warning. This isn't done if you're participating in the topic - other moderators make their own decision in such cases.
  • Access to review stuff, and the soft expectation that you'll occasionally review some things.

Ideally, you already visit the site pretty frequently, and really, we need to moderate so infrequently this isn't a big-time thing. Most people here are good people, and we all have a passion for the game of golf in common. Plus, regardless of which moderator does anything, including our dedicated moderator @The Committee, I get the blame for it. 🙂 So you'll be fine!

I would like to also thank the guys we recently removed from the moderator list for their many years of service. We wouldn't be where we are without them. Thank you!

I would be interested in being a moderator. I frequent the site pretty much every day, but it's mostly reading topics. I'd like to become more involved and get to know everyone better. The site has given me so much information and opportunities to meet up for play (even though I have yet to make one of those opportunities) that I'd really like to give back in some form or fashion other than being a supporter.

Okay. You'd be good, I think. We'll talk soon - I want to see if there are a few others so we can have one conversation instead of two or three staggered similar conversations. 😄

I’d definitely be willing to be a moderator. Been around almost 10yrs and visit the site very regularly to check things out. Obviously have golf experience and teaching.

I'm willing and interested as well.  I'll be transitioning into retirement over the next year or less, and will have more time available if needed.  I've enjoyed my time here from the first, and really value the effort you and the mods put into it.

There are some really good candidates here. I'm very glad I'm not the one having to make the decision!

I'll send a PM out to a few of you.

    • I think you're underestimating the lateral accuracy of mid/high handicaps even with wedges in hand. 
    • Option 1 for 8 iron and above. (150 yards and above), Option 2 for 9 iron and below. To pick one, since 75% or my irons are 9 iron or less (I play my rounds at 6,000-6,200 yards 90% times), I would settle for Option 2. Basically under Option 1 a 15 yards dispersion left or right for short irons and wedges would be terrible. I mean who wants to hit half wedges 15 yards left or right? That would make me quit golf. But OTOH the +/-10% (10 yards long/short variance but dead straight) would be manageable.
    • Day 234: Quick range session. Working on lower body stuff in the backswing. Looking slightly better, but going to need more work. I do think I lost a bit of my previous wrist stuff in the backswing while practicing, so something to keep an eye on.
    • First option, easily. ± 15 yards with an 8I is unacceptably poor. Every iron would basically overlap two other irons plus a little into the other one (max of one, min of the one two irons away).
    • I'd still take the first option. Knowing exactly how far your ball is going to carry every single time is huge.  Plus an average dispersion of 30yds isn't that big, that's still going to result in the overwhelming majority of your shots on the green.
