 If my counting is correct there have been 84 contributors this year. I love the recommendation that one base it on the par of their course.

   I decided to use the par as it is now on my home course instead of reducing it by one as Wayne Morrison would have us do by making #18 a par 4. But I did think about agreeing with him since it would save me a dollar

[PThomas]

was thinking of this too as well Mayday, thanks for posting

a VERY small price to pay for GCA!

Your counting may be correct, but there is one more than listed  

[Craig Van Egmond]

84 out of 1500?  Something seems wrong about that.

This is the best deal on the web.

Mine is also in the mail from a week ago. It is discouraging     to see that TE Paul leads all individuals in this category too (discounting Ran's family).

thanks for the reminder Mike, getting an out of town membership at  Whitinsville is even better !
Merry Christmas

 I was asked " How do I contribute? "

    Go to the Menu on the left side of the screen for "Contributions" and click on it. You will find instructions there.

  BTW an interesting exercise is to look at the contribution list and compare it to the active posters

I know I may catch some flack for this, but why don't we make contributions mandatory for this site.

They could certainly be well spent on computer upgrades.

We could all give our credit card numbers once for automatic renewal the 1st of each year.

Better than that....let's "out" some of those verbal streams who don't pay their way..we could even use that awful tactic deployed by certain charity functions...."declarations."

Seriously though, perhaps making up a Ranking List of those who've yet to contribute their fair share might either:

A) Fill the coffers appropriately, or;

B) Diminish their inane postings!

I notice there aren't many contributors outside the US.  I count 3.  What gives?  If we get a free pass I wish somebody would have told me.  

Ciao

[cary lichtenstein]

I don't get it...could someone please explain to me why they do not contribute to this site? It's a small amount of money for in many cases hundreds of hours of enjoyment

[wsmorrison]

Cary,

No explanations are necessary.  If people do not contribute that is there business.  If the site is in financial difficulty, there are enough contributors to see that it is kept solvent.  Maybe participants from other nations do not contribute because of the currency constraints.  Whatever the reasons, it is a free forum that depends on voluntary donations.  I don't want to speak for Ran, but it changes the ethos if there are forced contributions.  Then there is a sense of entitlement which some seem to act upon in any case.  But voluntary contributions and Ran's support are what makes this an open forum.  Let's keep it that way and depend on the positive side of human nature.  I'd rather it stand or fall on that as opposed to another structure.

Even these reminders, we usually see them this time of year, are a bit invasive for the spirit of the site.  At least that's how I see it.

[Kelly Blake Moran]

Checking the list I noticed I am from West Bend, Wisconsin.  Could somebody tell me a little about where I am what there is to do in the area.  Any other tips about living in Wisconsin other than the apparant misunderstanding about the passing game inthat it is better to throw passes to the other team rather than to your teammates

Cary,

Perhaps some people here are assistant golf professionals or golf course leaf-blower operators and can't afford a donation.

[mike_malone]

 I don't see the need for mandatory fees , but I appreciate a reminder now and again.

Or students, as I was until this past September when I got a full-time job.  

[Ben Voelker]

Thanks Jeffery,

There's many-a-thing I would love to contribute to, but in working my way to $40,000+ in students loans, its hard to justify donating to much more than a few dollars to anything every now and then.

[Jerry Kluger]

Thanks for the reminder - check's in the mail.  Now if I make it out to GCA which stands for Girl's Club of America then - oh, never mind, just a joke - it's the one check that I look forward to signing because it's worth every penny.
