Hope this is in the right place. I'm about to install a new(er) computer with much better capability than my old one. The shop that sold it to me seemed to think if would a good idea to log off on the webforums I frequent, which I usually don't do, I just stay logged in. He said that's because the "cookies" wont be there and site may not recognize me. Is this correct?

I'm not all that tech savvy, and the guy certainly knew a lot more than me. I had noticed that the datafile backup was much less than the total used disc space. He said the other stuff was programs, old cookies, and cached stuff.

The reason I'm asking is because I "think" I remember my password, but am not 100% sure. I went to my profile to check it out and couldn't find any way to ascertain, or even change, my password. Is all this rigmarole even necessary? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Account settings is where your password is and I frequent many, many sites on multiple computers and I only have odd pop ups from Gmail when I log in from a pc it doesn't recognize.

I don't always log off all my stuff... just secure things like bank, email and stuff like that.

Sorry missed a few steps.  Click on user account then account settings.  If you can't remember the PW you can change it here.

Your new PC will create new cookies for you at all your fav sites but you will have to log in first so I hope you know your UN & PW for all your fav sites.

The rest is, as you said " rigmarole "  I like that!

Yeah, that's kind of what the shop guy said. Log back in so the site can start tossing you cookies to establish you. One more question, what is my UN?

Oops, sorry! Just realized that it means User Name! Duh! Yeah, user names I got, but sometimes the passwords escape me.

Do you know the genesis of the term? Back in the day King Edward I conquered the Scots and demanded that the heads of all the clans sign a document pledging fealty to the English crown.

They had to sign on vellum (sheepskin), which was stitched end to end to accommodate all of the signatures. The Scots referred to it as the "Rag Man's Roll", which, in their lingo, translated into rigmarole. Source: Born in Blood, by John J. Robinson.

Thanks all. This helped.

Had to reply to this as yesterday 2 people used rigmarole!  Too funny!  :beer:

One at work and another when we were playing horseshoes.

I grew up hearing that word come out of my dad's mouth on a regular basis. I think he added a syllable as in "rig-a-marole"

Well, to get back to the password issue, I had signed out on my old computer expecting to install a newer one immediately. Unfortunately that did not happen on schedule, so I tried to sign back in on my old computer. Unfortunately, the password the old computer "remembered" was apparently in error! It would not let me sign in!

But, a couple of e-mails from the site enabled me to fix that, and I now have a written record of what my password is.

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
