Back in July I sat down here and wrote who I thought were my Biggest Surprises & Disappointments of the 2013 season. The LPGA had only played 15 of the 28 tournaments on the schedule at that point, a lot has changed since then. Now that the season has ended, it is time to take a final look.

@Tontj5 , please don't take this as anything other than genuine curiosity, but you've been on this site for 2 years, and in nearly 300 posts, I don't think I've seen a single one about anything other than the LPGA or some other form of women's golf. Is that the only interest you have in the game? Do you follow any of the men's tours or even play the game yourself? How did your fascination with the LPGA develop? Again, genuinely curious......tell us a little about yourself. Thanks! :beer:

Sure I will be glad to.  I have been a big golf fan all my life. I watch just about everything televised including the PGA, LPGA, Web.com, Seniors Tour, etc. My wife and I attend about 8 LPGA tournaments a year. Everyone covers the PGA, so I have chosen to cover the LPGA.

I am also a credentials media person for the LPGA.

I do not advertise on my website or make a single penny. I just want to help promote the girls. that's about all there is to it.

I am an avid golfer, I was an 8 handicap in my prime, I am now a 12.

My LPGA blog by the way, is the #1 golf blog in the world, and that includes PGA blogs.

Thanks for asking

Good to know.

So here's how we're going go to proceed going forward… You'll be allowed to continue posting links to your hideous blog here so long as you post content in other threads - content about golf, not women specifically, not even about pros, but just about golf. Instructional threads, equipment threads, whatever…

You've been allowed to promote your own site for far too long, and you've never contributed to this site in another fashion. You don't even link to this site in your blogroll.

P.S. Your Technorati ranking is irrelevant, and largely a product of the fact that you've been doing the same thing on other sites that you've done here.

Interesting. Just struck me as a little strange that your only participation on here is limited to the ladies. Thanks for the insight.

Before I started posting on here 2 years ago, I wrote to you guys for permission, which was granted.

FYI, I get about 1200 hits a day on my blog and only about 4 a day come from here.

On the other hand, I promote your blog on my website, with a link, and according to the stats I get from Google, you get about 9 per day from me.

So who's promoting who?

Anytime you want me to stop posting, just kick me out. I'll understand. I keep posting here because I know people on here do read my stuff and are usually very nice and compliment my blogs often.

And judging by your answer, it's been revoked.

Not one single person has been referred to us via your site in the last 30 days. In fact, if I look at our analytics for the entire calendar year 2013, not one single person has visited this site as a referral from any domain name that includes the letters "tony" . This despite allowing you to essentially spam us for two years.

1200 hits per day? My personal blog gets 1200 page views a day excluding search bots, and nobody visits my personal blog.

Anytime you want me to stop posting, just kick me out. I'll understand. I keep posting here because I know people on here do read my stuff and are usually very nice and compliment my blogs often.

Goodbye. Consider yourself kicked out.

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
