Greetings From Snow Bound Ohio (on 04/19!)

[SmiterofPV1x]

Hello!

Some of you may be familiar with my username from various other places. If not then allow me to introduce myself. My real name is Nate, I'm (grrr!) almost 40. I have three sons, all of them golfers to a varying level. My oldest is 14 and is a great kid! Not a very good golfer but realizes that and has fun with the game. He'd be a great scramble partner as he hits some really good shots and swings HARD, but his short game is usually a liability. 

My middle son is 12 (almost 13 now) and is a very solid golfer. He's shot as low as 85 playing his own ball before from the regular tees. He's not very long yet so he was hitting 3w/3h into many of the greens and generally knocking it closer than the 9i I was hitting in that day. His short game is very good for a young 7th grader. 

My little guy is 6 and is the only one of us to hold a world record that will never be topped. He holds the 18 holes scoring record with an 18. That's right, 18 holes in one! The caveat is that he only putts and places the ball 6-12" from the hole. But since it's impossible to beat 18 for 18, that'll never be topped!:)

Finally, I am only interested in being a positive member. I'm here to share my experiences and to share in yours. My first attempt at being a forum member elsewhere didn't end real well as I'm sure some may know. I took things too personal with some of the comments directed towards me. Again, I'm only interested in being a positive member and as such that is the only type of posts that I will respond to. Hit them well, friends!

Thanks! Still trying to navigate my way around here. Generally a mobile only user, is there a model or theme that is easier to get around? I only see the one theme, which appears to be a mix of mobile and desktop features.

What you see is what you get.   The mobile isn't too bad once you get the hang of it.   I will admit that I believe the larger screen of my desktop is easier but I'm old....

It's a responsive theme, which means it adapts to whatever size screen you've got.

I'm getting old Mr Iacas...:) If it's not 100% user friendly its tough for me (this seems to be about 99% friendly)- and please tell those darn kids to get off my lawn!;) I'm not really having a hard time I'm just getting used to the different layout  

Tech stuff isn't my forte. It seems to be ok to navigate, I just have to figure it out. Once I do I'm sure I'll be golden. It's not like it's difficult, even for me. I just had a couple posts that said they needed to be approved for a week or so and I have no idea how to get PM's. I'm sure that all will be revealed in due course, and I probably just didn't hit "refresh" or something for the older posts to appear on the forum . All in all this seems nice. Polpulated by golfers and for golfers. My type of place. I'm sure in a week or two I'll have the hang of it and look back and think "duh! That was easy!" Everything I've read so far seems to be written by someone with knowledge and experience.

A lot is done through the three lines menu at the top.
