Forum Suggestion

[CMartis]

I would like to suggest adding a forum with each of the 50 states pinned as sub-forums. That way when members are planning on playing a course. Then they can add the course they're going to play to their corresponding state forum. Then post their tee time and date in the new course thread they created. I'm not sure if I'm using the correct forum terminology but you know what I'm trying to say. lol. Maybe an easy way to gain some local golf friends. If this is already available please point me in the right direction.  Thanks!

@DaveP043 created a really cool Google Map which members can pin their location. Check out -

Typically, members already start a thread "Golf Outing / get together" for various locations across the US and abroad.

If you look at the top of the page there is already a sub-category in the "Forum's Tab" for "Member Outings & Meetup"

Member Outings 

Also, if you arrange an outing you will receive the "Badge" for organizing the event.

Thanks for the info @Club Rat. I'm just saying it would be nice to have specific state forums so one could follow their state and receive notifications when someone is playing nearby.

We had that in the past and there wasn't much traffic in them. Members could create groups for different areas.

The problem with doing it by states or any sort of area is that I couldn't care less what's happening in Philadelphia, generally speaking - Ohio and New York are closer to me than most of Pennsylvania.

And… people generally aren't here to meet up with a bunch of new people. Now and then, sure. Most of the time they just play the courses they've always played with the people they've always played with.

I can see how individual state sites wouldn't get much traffic, so I get it.   But, I do think it would be cool if there was someway for me to be notified if someone from Minnesota played.  just because I like hearing about the courses, and if reviews are good, adding them to my list of places to play.   I try to keep an eye on the "what did you shoot today?" tread for this purpose.   but...  I guess I'm just thinking out loud here..

You probably know, but can follow threads or individuals, by adjusting your forum preferences.  Doing so might help you keep track of some of those....

I just don't think they would get used that much. Didn't the board used to have forums for different regions or something like that? I seem to recall something along those lines because i ended up talking with a member about playing. But I also remember that there were very few posts in those areas.
