Since mid-December, 2010, here are the rules for "when do I get a signature?"

In order to have a signature, you must:

  • Have made posts that span a full seven (7) days.
  • Have seven (7) published posts that clear or are validated in our anti-spam tool.

That's it. If you have 10 published posts and have made one post at least seven days after your first post, you should be able to create a signature. If you cannot, please send iacas a Private Message (PM).

You also get to write product reviews at the same time.

Thanks.

Edit: 2015-02-18 - Changed 10 posts to 7 posts.

I changed the 10 posts spanning seven days to 7 posts spanning 7 days.

We also have a new policy (that we're testing out): users cannot post a link (URL) in a post until after their third approved post. All posts will be held for moderation if they're newer than the fourth approved post.

This is to cut down on the amount of spam (which is already pretty light) that users have a chance to see. Yes, some legitimate posts from new users will get caught in the moderation queue, but only those posts with URLs in them and only the first three posts a new user makes fall under this rule. We are online frequently, too, so we don't imagine these false positives will be held in the moderation queue for very long.

How do I add a signature to my profile? The FAQs give some advice, but it doesn't work...suggestions?

In 2014, I bought custom-fitted TaylorMade SLDR woods and Mizuno 825 irons....in June, 2015, I switched to 1-IronGolf 'single length' irons, and woods...so far, it's the best thing I have done to improve my game....and I have a relatively unused set of TaylorMades and Mizunos for backup!

This was only your 5th post. You just made your 8th recently, so it should be available to you now.

Hi! Welcome to the site. There are two requirements for getting a signature:

Quote:
In order to have a signature, you must:
  • Have made posts that span a full seven (7) days.
  • Have seven (7) published posts that clear or are validated in our anti-spam tool.

That's it. If you have 7 published posts and have made one post at least seven days after your first post, you should be able to create a signature. If you cannot, please send iacas a Private Message (PM).

You joined yesterday and have only 3 posts, so you haven't fulfilled either criterion. Go around and participate in a number of the forums, and I promise the option will appear automatically avter a week or your 7th post, whichever comes second. And feel free to message an admin if not, but it won't be an issue, promise.

    • You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.
    • Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip. 
    • Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
    • Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
