Yes congrats Erik, 10 years is a big deal. Thanks to our staff and our great members for making this a special place to hang out and talk golf.

I first became aware of this site when my dad was working for Bobby Jones and TST reviewed their Ortiz/Pelz wedges. Then started visiting more as I was learning more about golf mechanics and got to know Erik and Dave.

Happy birthday TST! I think I started listening to the podcast first and then went on the site. I think What drew me to the site was the instruction forum. 10 years later, I'm still learning and feel like I'm a lot more informed than the typical golfer, swing-wise.

First, Congrats on making it 10 years. Here is to another 10 years :beer:

I believe I found this forum when Golf Evolution was briefly more into the Stack and Tilt. I remember the S&T; getting some headway in golf digest and with a little searching I found this forum. From there I just stuck around.

Luckily I did, because it allowed me to make some good friends. :-D

Congratulations! :beer:

I joined in 2012, but I was a lurker here for a long time. I first found this site from googling golf club reviews, but I quickly got into the instructional threads and read (and re-read) them for a while. At some point, I just decided to join. I'm glad I did, because I was able to meet some great people.

I eventually cancelled my magazine subscriptions and used the money to support TST. A few months after that, Erik and Mike were looking for some members to post some daily links, and that's how @nevets88 , @boogielicious , and I became part of the staff.

This is a great site. It's funny, because I'm a member of a couple of different forums on different topics, but this is the only forum I post in. I have 0 posts in everywhere else (I think I joined those sites because some content was restricted to only registered members or something). I usually use internet forums just to learn things, not to interact with other people.

Well, I'd delete my own messes if I could. Flag and hide for moderation is my method of choice.

I don't post as much as you but I probably have the highest percentage of my posts moderated... :-D I really wasn't sure which smilie face I should use for that comment.... I guess I don't have the patience @iacas I am just a real a hole.... :-O

I am very thankful for the site, since I don't have anyone around to talk golf ad nauseum to and I like that the information introduced to the site is scrutinized with factual arguments.

Keep up the good work guys and thanks for saving the site from jerkasses like me :beer: . Maybe @boogielicious and I can get a round in with more of you guys next season!
