Why is it unbelievable I can drive 300+ ?

I once posted something to do with the fact that I played at a highly competitive level.  I went on to say that given the right doors would open, I could possibly tune my game up to the point it would contend on tour.  I said that given 5 years and unlimited rescources I could be playing on the Web.com tour.  You would've thought I said Santa Claus wasn't real!!  I've never met or played golf with a single one of you, but yet I received much criticism.  It's very highschool-ish and unprofessional the way some people verbally attack.

It's just par for this website...  get use to it.

Nicely done, Jimbo.

Your Avatar is great!  Next time anybody claims driving 300+, all we need to do is to check his face on video to see if that frame to frame angle through the hit zone is greater than 56 degrees.  Or, that hit zone triangle is approaching equalaterial!!

Scotty you have a chip on your shoulder, here and possibly in other forums. I do think Erik comes off a little arrogant sometimes but he has run this website forever and has to deal with every one's personality with his personality. I am sure he has gotten a little jaded when he spots a wrinkle in the sheet. There are some real stick in the mud sour pusses on here and a lot of nice guys. You come off easily offended and although this is a free forum, there is not a free wheeling say what ever I want to offend people or my way or the highway aspect. It is more of a courteous and try to understand the common interest as well as some over zealousness. Take things with a grain of salt, prove you can play if you want, don't if you don't want to but do not complain if people just don't go along with you.

P.S. I have nothing against you

Never? I've never had Erik critique my swing but have seen him offer commendation and praise on many occasions to other posters here. Remember that this is the internets and it can be hard to fully appreciate someone's tone. Have you ever heard the adage that it's harder to go from a 10 to a scratch than from a scratch to a tour pro? Maybe that's why some may doubt your potential to reach your aspirations?

I nominate this for thread of the year!

This thread has seen everything from outlandish claims, hating, member bashing, thread-jacking, suspensions, thread-jack defending (me lol), more bashing and bickering, chemistry lessons, death, burial and eventually resurrection with one of the most humble and deserving "I-TOLD-YOU-SO's" of all time.

great job jimbo... I had my doubts as well... in this case, it was nice to be proven wrong.

I'm a little shocked to see that only 12 people have given a thumbs up to Jimbo's trackman results post tho

Thanks dave .

It's the diverse and unique blend of personalities that makes this forum special, and allows threads like this one to flourish. I've had allot fun since I've joined the forum and Eric is super cool .

Gee, whoever this Eric fella is, man, what a twat!

As I recall, you got upset when I (and others) said why we thought it extremely unlikely you'd make it to the then-Nationwide Tour. You got quite upset, cursing in a PM, when I told you that such posts were off-topic in a thread about the U.S. Open at Olympic and asked that you start a new thread if you wanted to continue the conversation.

Through it all, hey, I'm comfortable having been more mature and less rude than you (not that it's saying much).

I could be wrong, but I don't think Jimbo feels I've been rude to him or attacked him. I even made a mistake with the math on his driver clubhead speed, copped to it, apologized, and said several times I hope he proves some of the doubters wrong. I then backed his claim because I talked to Jeffry.

What is unbelievable is that this thread has gone as far as it has.

At some point this thread, if printed, will be 300+ yards if it isn't already!
