I would like to post a "for sale" add. It will not let me. I read the rules. So why wont it let me post?

You have 10 posts. You didn't read the rules very carefully.

This site is not for the sole purpose of selling stuff. You need to be an actual productive member by contributing to other threads in other parts of the forums.

wow!! you really have a very difficult time understanding questions for some reason. First of all your rules do not PLAINLY STATE how many posts you must have. "READ YOUR RULES"!! I asked a simple question as to how many post I must have and instead of being polite and just answering my question, you have to offer me a "dig". Then I ask how to up my status on here so that I may be allowed to advertise, and you completely skirt the question by explaining to me what the intent of this site is all about.

I DO take time and look over what other golfers have to say about topics on here, and have found them quite delightful. Maybe you should take a few lessons, and I am not talking about golf lessons, and try to be a bit more helpful, instead of trying to just insult people. But its all explained when I see that you are from Erie, Pennsylvania. I live just south of you an hours drive. I have played a few amateur tournaments with people from Erie, and found them to be arrogant. (sorta like yourself).

If your main reason for joining the site is to advertise then this might not be the right place for you. Trying to say that as politely as I can.

I enjoy reading what other golfers have to say about different courses and all. I don't just use a site to sell items which I rarely do. I thought I asked a simple question and got what I would call, and other people a "negative" response. If you do not allow me to sell golf items that is just fine. There is other places I can go. But usually sites like this you can find more of what I call trusting people. I am an avid skeet shooter, trapshooter, and rifle shooter and find that sites dedicated to the sport, (like yours), is a better place to buy.

Seems pretty clear to me golfer2b2000.

BTW your reputation is now mysteriously a 9 instead of the 10 required to reach Established Member status.

Arrogance has nothing to do with this. You didn't read the rules despite saying you had. It's the first link in the first paragraph of the rules at the top of the Marketplace forum.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
