Your opinion on the Get To Know series is requested...

« **on:** March 14, 2011, 04:07:20 PM »

Down and dirty, folks - is it worth continuing? I think there are more than a few participants who would make a good thread, but I don't want to do it if it's viewed as an indulgence of mine.

Please let me know you thoughts; send me a message if you'd quietly like to volunteer (nothing revealed).

Enjoy the day.

George, I enjoyed it both as a questioner and a questionee. Go for it!

« **Reply #2 on:** March 14, 2011, 04:36:07 PM »

If possible ... among the willing, I say go for it ...

There are a lot of courses and people behind them that I would not know about except for this site.

« **Reply #3 on:** March 14, 2011, 05:54:31 PM »

I liked it.

I could not have said it better myself.

I really enjoy the "Getting to Know..." series as well.

It's a great read --- please keep indulging yourself...

« **Reply #7 on:** March 14, 2011, 06:21:57 PM »

I don't think it is indulgent
I like it
keep it going

I am still available assuming you meet my only condition ... that you visit first

Cheers

You haven't had the best one yet.

Now that all the People magazine readers have spoken,

I will just say I think it is an indulgence.

« **Reply #10 on:** March 14, 2011, 06:33:15 PM »

George,

I liked it and wouldlike to see it continue.

« **Reply #11 on:** March 14, 2011, 06:49:20 PM »

Continue please.

My favorite was GTK John Kavanaugh.

My opinion is that it's only worthwhile if I'm included.

« **Reply #14 on:** March 14, 2011, 08:45:58 PM »

I think it went way downhill after the first one...

« **Reply #15 on:** March 14, 2011, 09:23:41 PM »

Like anything, there are threads I read, and others I skip.
I've enjoyed a good number these George, so I vote....sure!

« **Reply #16 on:** March 14, 2011, 09:36:25 PM »

George:

I enjoyed it very much and hope you resurrect it.

George - I don't think anyone sees it as an indulgence of yours; and even if it was, that would be a very good reason to keep it going -- i.e. if you're interested that's good enough for me

But since you're asking, I say drop it. It's just one more thread about gca.com; another thread about US, talking about ourselves. If I can't figure out all I need to know about a poster from his posts, reading his life story -- in his own words -- isn't going to help me much.

« **Reply #18 on:** March 15, 2011, 12:08:32 AM »

I nominate Peter!

« **Reply #19 on:** March 15, 2011, 09:56:22 AM »

Ok, 16-2, and let's face it, John's gonna hate me no matter what, so it's more like 16-1. Sorry, Peter.

I'm going to contact a few of the people I left hanging last fall and try to restart sometime soon. Thanks for the input and thoughts.

Agree with paragraph 1--disagree with paragraph 2.

I too would like for Peter P. to be the subject of a GTK thread.

My own indulgence would be a GTK thread on Pat Burke as I always like to hear about golf course design as seen through the eyes of someone who really knows how to play.

More the reason to make John the next one.

I agree with your first point Peter
And I would agree with your second point more if we could click on the person's name and see their last 10,20,50,100 posts like the good old days.

« **Reply #23 on:** March 15, 2011, 01:56:20 PM »

George - no hard feelings I hope. My vote is also for Pat Burke - like Jeff, the experience of the top player is something we can get no where else.

Peter

« **Reply #24 on:** March 15, 2011, 02:17:17 PM »

None at all, Peter, I understand your point, and I'm pretty sure I understand John's, too. I kind of even agree with John, I just think the overriding desire of others to learn more about their fellow posters takes precedence over his disdain for me. And I agree with Mike's last post, too.

You gotta work harder than that to offend me... Ask Matt or John for tips!
