Congratulations Erik;  very well deserved.  The good parts of my golf game owe quite a bit to you. 

Thank you. Honestly hearing things like that means more than being on a list somewhere.

So I have no idea how I missed this.  Congratulations on something well deserved.  There is no doubt in my mind that I would be nowhere near as good of a golfer without your help. Not to mention how much more knowledge you've given me to understand aspects of the game I didn't even know existed.  You've given us way more than we can put into words.  I hope to get down to Erie and thank you in person some day (well and get a lesson of course).

thanks for keeping us all updated on the today's rule changes - I would assume that many others like myself might otherwise be unaware of them, or at least unclear on them. Just felt like this post belongs in this thread.

Thank you.

Honestly, things like this - displays of gratitude and congratulations - here and elsewhere mean more to me than being on the list itself.

I hope to meet you sometime here as well.

I appreciate that, too. I am actually a little surprised at how quickly the discussion there died down.

As you were coming out with those posts, I thought to myself how time consuming today it must have been. I have already forwarded some of those posts, particularly the 3 mins lost ball rule, to some of my non-TST buddies who definitely need to be made aware.

Tell them to JOIN. Don't just forward them stuff.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Just doing what I do.

Been a while since I've visited TST (sorry!), but this is great. Not been able to benefit directly (wrong side of The Pond!), but this site is a fabulous knowledge base, full of honest and informative content/discussion, and most of that is down to @iacas. It's great that you're so willing to give of what you know and have learnt via this and other outlets, for nothing.

Congratulations on the formal acknowledgment of what you do for the love of the sport and those playing it....or trying to.

Never saw this until now either being fairly new around here. 

Didn't know we had a celeb!

Congrats Iacas...quite and achievement and honor.  That's a lot of hard work.
