I can't spend ALL my time arguing on here.  There's people on Facebook to argue with! :-)

Sweet! I want to thank my wife, kids, friends and fellow members of this site who made this possible. I also want to thank all of the other rookies who stunk, which made this possible.

In Beach's defense, he had a legitimate tooth problem, so he was injured which likely affected his performance.

Forget beach and golfingdad, I don't see anyone knocking off Sai-Jin anytime soon.

Are "reputation points" the same thing as the thumbs up?

No kidding.  That guy does nothing but write reviews all day!  How does he even have time to PERFORM the reviews? ;)

Yes, pretty sure "reputation points," "thumbs ups," and "skins" are all the same thing.

I'm pretty sure this is how it goes: "reputation points" and "thumbs up" are related. Thumbs up are a raw count simply of how many times someone clicked on the thumb button for your posts. Reputation points are thumbs up multiplied by the different weightings given for admins, mods, supporters, forum leaders, registered users, etc. (E.g. when I give you a thumbs up, you get more rep points than when a newbie gives you a thumbs up. So beg! :-P)

That's about it. But I think you need 11 points for yours to start counting, and the most anyone can give is about 3 "points" right now (me: 2 because I'm an admin/mod, and 1 more because my own reputation is so high).

Let's see...

The last thumbs up I gave had a weight of 3.29444444 (repeating).

Forum posts are given a weight of 1 (gallery images are given 0.25, reviews a weight of 1, wiki articles 0).

Newly registered users start with 10, but you need 11 for your votes to count.

You get an additional 1x voting power for every 360 reputation points you have (this is where the fractions come in, I believe).

Finally, moderators get a boost of 1 (not admins though, so it doesn't apply to me).

Haha, yea you did. Seven of my twenty-one thumbs ups from last month were courtesy of you. Appreciated, my friend!

Clam defeated me fairly and soundly though. It was inevitable that he won one of these one of these months

I think we were well on our way ... and then you got hurt.  Did you hurt your typing fingers too?

We'll get 'em next time!

Of course, can't take anything away from Clambake and his stellar posts of the last month.  He is only about quality, whereas Beach and myself, we are more about quantity. :)  He's like the Daniel Day Lewis to my Nicolas Cage and Beach's James Franco.  If we put ourselves into enough movies, some of them are bound to be decent.

LOL, hilarious. Hey, I love the Rock. Great movie. Stanley Goodspeed!

My wrist got pretty battered there. Still healing. Waddayagonnado. I'll live! Now I know why golf's a four letter word.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By NHpro ·

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.

      Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By NHpro ·

      Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.

      The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.

      7 Wood

      By ZenShot ·

      I have been carrying a 7 wood more often this year.  It’s especially handy if you have a downhill lie to an uphill green.  It’s also handy if the rough on the course is deep.
