Shot Talk Forum members unite

Well, it appears this is our new home..  Don't know what happened over there but always like the sand trap so we'll just bring our ugly faces here I guess.  Hope they don't mind a bunch of obnoxious people showing up in a bunch.

Welcome - I think lol. We welcome refugees  

What war-torn part of the internet are you fleeing?

[Loose Cannon]

Have "lurked" at the Sand Trap for some time.  Never very active.  Been active with the "family" at a site "Shot Talk".  Been a good mix of geezers and young flat-bellies.  No politics or religion was permitted.  Just good healthy... well "healthy" can be awfully subjective... discussion.  The site evidently folded with no notice.  So, some of us are looking for a place to land where we can brag about our good days on the course and whine about the bad.  And, somewhere I can expect significant criticism about my long and lengthy posts... and turn a deaf ear to that criticism!!!  :>)

Welcome to all of the Shot Talk folks,   we're glad to have you (so far).  You may want to introduce yourself over in the Welcome Everyone section, and add your location to the member map:

You may want to talk amongst yourself, see if you want to put a common phrase or label into your signatures (something like "Shot Talk Refugee"), so the rest of us can evaluate your group and see if we're REALLY glad to have you (I'm teasing, of course).  If you have any questions about how to do things here, feel free to ask.

Welcome guys (and gals).  I think you'll find this place is full of the same sort of people and topics you've grown accustom. There's a place to introduce yourself and it's pretty easy to see how things flow.  Always good to have new members!

We were all "guys".  Never could understand why the gals didn't stick around.  We were all extremely handsome, polite, and.....

Hop right in!

Since you've lurked, you may have figured out how things mostly work around here, but under the "How To..." drop down, you can see most of the mechanics of how to do stuff.

Drop yourself and the course you typically play onto the map, if you care to. Something Dave just started, but many of the names already there are guys who contribute a fair amount here, so that'll give you a sense of where everyone's at.

We were members of Shottalk.com.  I think there were only about 12 of us that actively posted.  Anyway, the site imploded a few days ago and we're trying to reunite somewhere.

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free...

...and talk golf.

If the old site existed only for the golf we discussed, it would have died long ago.  Most of the discussion was spent on what someone ate for supper, who was sneaking into whose house enjoying their better half, who from Wisconsin had the "most experienced" sheep, what wood-working project the resident craftsman was knocking out, where our Irish or Swedish or South African or Australian buddies were playing golf, or how many dozen sets of irons Steve had purchased that very day simply as a hobby.  Oh!  And how many drivers WBL could actually go through in a single season.  Was a really good group of really good guys covering a wide age range.

Sounds like you guys just continue what we talk about on the course. It's what makes playing golf with strangers fun-comraderie.

Welcome.

What I like about TST, is that the administrator has a good nose - when he smells any BS. This site is not about BS. Welcome aboard.

Thanks!  Will make every attempt to keep posting some here.  You folks have been extremely welcoming.  Just need to find the time.  Had no idea retirement would be this busy.  Play 18 holes of golf each morning.  Take dog for 3 1/2 to 4 mile walk after that.  Keep up lawn and other household chores.  Had soooo much more time when working full time!!!!
