I was just thinking there does not seem to be as much activity as usual.  Maybe football is distracting people?

Nope. Nothing that you didn't know about. Simply that cell phones are too small for webpages like these, and most people are using their iPads to look cool or hip instead of using it to browse The Sand Trap.

It's the weekend. A lot of people have other things to do than lurk on their computer.

The September 28th update changed the way those types of stats are displayed. The same number of people are still watching, but now it only counts people who are a) logged in members, who were b) active in the past 60 seconds.

As you can imagine that has a drastic effect. A really high percentage of the site's page views come from people who aren't logged in. We used to track IPs, now we just list logged in and really recently active members in the list you're seeing.

Also, July and August are pretty much the busier months, and December is one of the slower ones. Golf sites trend downward a little during the "winter" months and go back up when that theme song for a tournament in Georgia begins getting hummed by golfers everywhere...
