7. GAME Golf username in your postbit.
We'll turn this into links soon enough, for one-click access to your GAME Golf Profile!

I like this feature.

I'd love to eventually see a similar link to each person's "My Swing" thread, if you're taking enhancement requests.  Sometimes I'll read a comment by one of us about what we're working on, and I'd love to click a quick link to see their latest work on their swing. 

As it stands now, I'll search the forum, but the key words "my swing [name]" is fairly broad and you can get other entries that are not what your are looking for. The old site had much more accuracy finding the right thread than the new site's search results, but I understand the index was still building.

Alternatively, we could each agree to put in our signatures. But seems like it would be handy to navigate quickly for easy viewing.

Like the new rep feature -- easy to give reps, although I will miss the short, sometimes humorous comments.

What happened to your "reviews". I like reading your staff reviews on equipment. Is this still here somewhere, or are you planning on bringing this back?

It's still here and we'll feature it on the homepage in the near feature, just have more important stuff to work out before then.

Also guys, clicking return twice starts a new paragraph, shift-return gets you single line spacing.

So hitting return twice gets you "big" spacing like this...

Here is the same message with one return, let's just keep it to one return.Screen Shot 2015-10-03 at 11.19.31 AM.png

This was slick! I replied to two different poster in the Rules folder and the software automatically combined them making my reply even better. Nice work.

Does IPS have a plan for a stand alone app?

I don't think so. There was talk for awhile but I think it died down.

Virtually no need for a stand-alone app. It would just display a web view… which your browser does now.

Same thing happens in the messaging/email area. If you send a message to someone and then realize you forgot something, just write the next message and they get merged.

I now use the feature quite frequently. I'll post, because I don't want to wait to get something out, and then keep working and will post more.

I currently have the limit set at 18 minutes. And I typed this as a separate message, which will be auto-merged. :-)

Any chance of getting a new content button at the bottom of the mobile page? That would be sweet.

Probably not, unfortunately.

You know you can tap the top of the screen - or the little "up arrow" chevron - to go to the top of the page, right?

Or just make your preferred stream a bookmark and you can quickly access it that way.

I constantly have error messages saying I can't upload images over the 4.88 mb limit but I am no where near that limit. I just tried to upload the image that is linked in this post and it gave me the error again.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
