Should Ran Allow Another Thread on Carts v Walking?
« on: June 01, 2012, 05:33:52 PM »
Have the 1000ish in the last 5 years not settled the debate?  Have the participants on those threads stating the same arguments over and over again not fully and substantially stated their case?  Have we not all realized that people aren't changing their minds based on these discussions?

I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.

Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.

I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.

Melvyn has changed my mind/influenced me.   8)

I don't walk all the time, but without him I don't think I would have ever walked...except where it is required (East Lake, Scotland, Bandon, etc).

Do not know what all the fuss is all about – Golfers Walk - period. The real question I suppose is are you a player or a Golfer?  ;D

I may not agree with your point of view, I may not like to constantly hear it but you have every right to voice what you want and as many times as you want. If I have no interest or get bored I will not open or read the Topic. But then I might miss the opinions of newer Members which are just as valid and as important as older Members.

Like a TV or Radio you control what you watch, read or hear – not interested don’t tune in, it’s that simple. :o

If y'all don't stop posting threads I'm not interested in I'm going to tell my mom.

Melvyn is spot on

If you do not like a topic do not read it. Quite simple.  As noted new and interesting POV my pop up

Ran has always been a hands off moderator, so I figure he will allow them until the cows ride home on a golf cart.....

Hey, its supposed to be free - and mostly free from limits, discussion board.  Until a cart thread turns into a Merion thread, not much will be done.  And, as noted, if he keeps taking new members, its probably always new to someone. 

Lastly, what other topic hasn't been derivative of some old thread, or at least cover the same ground in a slightly different way? 

If we are tired of it, it will be a very short thread and die quickly.  Like I predict this one will do (predictably) right after a post by me......

Melvyn,

Tiger Bernhardt beat the Soviets, not you.   ;D

Which reminds me, winners write the history.  And sorry if you wish not to acknowledge it, but for better or worse, the cart has won.  I do not want to live in a world where those that love golf with all of their heart, but cannot walk all 18 holes aren't allowed to call themselves golfers.  That's just communist.

I'm very scared of skin cancer, so using synthetic turf I build a golf course in a wherehouse, and I drive my little cart around my faux golf course. Am I still playing golf?
