Yeah, I understand that, but I don't type that bad, Usually I just don't use capitalization and occasionally put prolly in stead of probally, but I don't think it makes it any harder to read.

Its not always how you drive the ball, but how it arrives.

Now I'm not an english teacher or anything but I wan't to know why everyone on this forum freaks out if I don't use proper grammar or something. People keep giving me negative reputation points because I don't capitalize "I" or something like that. I mean, common people this isn't a business website or something. But if its that big of a deal to everyone, then I will try to use proper english from now on.

Is English your first language ?

At least You Don't Type Like This Starting Every Word With A Capital.

I am surprised you got neg rep for this, would I be right in assuming the person who left neg rep did not leave their name?.

Don't worry about it, as long as your grammar is acceptable there isn't a problem, wen u start tlkin lyk dis coz u cnt be bovverd to tipe prprly it becumz a prblem.

Basic spelling, punctuation and grammar are all that's needed, just keep your posts 'neat and tidy' lol.

It does.

Remember, your brain already knows what the word is. That's why it seems ok to you. Other people have to decipher ambiguous words in order to figure out what you are saying. And while "prolly" isn't too hard to decipher, it does prohibit the reader from simply reading your post. It's like a speed bump in the middle of the highway. You're cruising along and WHAM! - hit the brakes. And paragraphs without punctuation and capitalization are like busy intersections without stop lights - it's hard to tell whose turn it is, who has the right of way, and when/where/if you should even stop. Think about how frustrating it is to be stuck in traffic on the highway when you have some place to be, simply because some moron who was driving too fast didn't feel like using a turn signal and ended up causing a wreck. Bad grammar is the intellectual equivalent.

Dude! Even your text speak has an English accent!

(In the U.S., it would be "bodderd").

Don't worry about it. Just make sure to put an apostrophe before every s.

busine's's wedge's and becau'se. Also, take note of the following defanately and definately, NEVER definitely. Lastly don't forget the double s in occassionally. Why would you wan't two use proper grammer anyway. as long as you make youself understood!

I clearly need to get to this site more often. This is almost as much fun as internal rates of return and standard deviations.

That was deviations, not deviants.

I think I speak for the majority of the membership here when I say:

That's what cracked me up. I didn't expect an accent in writing!

Would "bovverd" be a Cockney accent?

Think NASCAR fans. (ooooooo, I'm gonna catch crap for that one! )

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By Shindig · Posted

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
