Drive was beautiful.

The Arizona sky, the sky is bigger there. It took my breath away. That doesn't happen everyday.

Another piece I hear when in the great state of AZ:

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Your avatars are defeating the purpose of an "Avatar."

Maybe make them unique so they actually serve the purpose of what an avatar is meant to do?  Right now the site is very awkward.

The Newport Cup ends at the end of the week. Regular avatars will be back before you know it.

Yeah, it's just like wearing your team color shirts when you go to see the 'game'...

The Newport Cup ends at the end of the week.

To be precise, the Newport Cup ends at 6pm Pacific Time this Friday. By that point, the West Coast lead will be so commanding that the Saturday singles will merely be a formality.

No its not...  Read what an avatar is meant to be.

You are not identifying individuals at "the game."

I get that you are supporting a side, but think it could have been done in a way that keep the site users unique.

Everyone's name is still there.

Ok, not arguing about this.  Just something to consider next time.

Names are not visual representations of a users unique identity...

The point behind an avatar is to recognize that person easily because of their graphic ID.   When everybody has the same image the entire point of an avatar is ruined.

The support of the Newport cup team would be more appropriate in the Signature line for the user.

This might be a foolish question but is there a post that shows who is on what team?

There are but they're lost back there a few pages somewhere.  Here's the easy route: http://thesandtrap.com/t/83905/ping-2015-newport-cup-prediction-contest-win-a-g30-driver/0_30

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 97 - 2025-01-05 Showed up to something that absolutely floored me, and then was busy right through to 9:00. So, I got 5:00 in at night, at home, before bed. My rib cage hurts from a cough (ha ha, but also, f***), and I think I have a mild ear infection in my right ear. Things are just f***ing great.

      Record 35 Under Par for First Contest of the Year

      By saevel25 ·

      OMG Jerry Barber shot -20 back in 1960! Let's go back and time and bitch about how easy it is to play golf. My goodness, Calvin Pete shot a -21 in 1986! Wait a second, David Duval shot -26 back in 1999! Hold up, Ernie Els shot a -31 back in 2003!!!!  (all scores at The Sentry, it is a very easy golf course for PGA Tour players).  The concept that golf in the past is this protecting par or what not is just romanticized BS. Golfer's have been tearing apart golf courses for decades. Let's have a sense of perspective to base our opinions, ok?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Chris Brooks ·

      Day 4 - Had aspirations for range work but a family activity went a lot longer than expected. So 6 minutes of mirror work, feeling good about weight shift back and transition forward.
