Why don't you tell us how you really feel. I agree that it can be annoying, but it keeps it free :)

Your contribution as a single member on the forum would not be enough to sustain the running fees for the site, hence they need to generate revenue from other streams. It was discussed on another thread a while back (http://thesandtrap.com/forum/thread/47080/is-any-one-else-digging-the-new-cartoony-background) and while it's annoying it's also understandable the reason why it's done.

As a long time web guy, I thought it was pretty smart.  As a user I was annoyed at first but it took no time to get used to it.

The clickable area is very small. I don't click outside of the "forum body" so I'm not taken to the sponsor's site.

We have costs we need to cover and we'd like to keep the site entirely free. You can become a supporter and your $39 will go a long way. And the "site skin" continues to promote a good thing - have you entered to win the contest?

Thank you for being mature about it. As you know, you joined when the site skin was active. :-P

As I said above, it'll run two weeks out of every month for a few months. Shotly's a good site - I really encourage everyone to check it out.

I dont mind the background at all anymore, took a bit getting use to but it is fine now.

The only thing that has been bugging me lately is that the link cursor is always active on your page even when not hovering over a link.

Example: HandLink.gif



Is it doing that for anyone else?  Not really a big deal but it bothers me for some reason.

Yep. I'd call it a browser bug, and it kind of is... since the background is "clickable" a good browser should notice you're not really over the background. I think they might be able to change the z-index of a few things but I don't know if that'd fix it.

Noooooo. Plain vanilla please.

Erik, is it possible to also enable full-width display of the New Posts screen for supporters?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
