anybody have a blog? i need suggestions for the easiest route to go. I'd like to set one up with my own domain name, but that seems like work to me, so i think i'd just prefer to go the freebee web based method.

The only one I really have experience with is blogger.com. It's pretty easy and is becoming more customizable every day it seems. You also have the option, if you decide to buy a domain name of your own in the future, to purchase from somewhere like godaddy.com and have that name point to your blogger blog.

Well you can easily install a blog on your domain such as WordPress, which is free, easy to modify, has a lot of free third-party addons and layouts.

Some hosts have it even ready for you to press one button and it installs itself automatically.

Other than wordpress, you can also use Joomla, which is also free.

hmmm, do people have to join up just to leave a comment for that one?

I'm assuming you mean does someone have to join blogger in order to post comments? I don't know for sure, but if so, it's not such a bad idea. You'll find if/when you get a blog, if you allow for "anonymous" comments, you'll get a lot of spam from bots and the like who are either not real people or aren't looking to comment on your specific post. They are just looking to spam their product or website. So to require a signup process at the very least ensures the potential poster is a real person.

I use Bluehost and Drupal to blog.

I've used Joomla and much prefer Drupal.

Wordpress has some nice looking templates, but I can just make a similar theme in Drupal.

Of course, there is a steeper learning curve, but it is very powerful (taxonomy) and has much right out of the box.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.
