Get To Know Thread Version 2.0-CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
« on: August 15, 2012, 10:47:11 AM »
With George Pazin's blessing, I am going to take over the "Get To Know" thread. The concept is simple: answer the questions if you wish. We've decided to open it up to anyone interested in giving the treehouse a bit of background on how you came to g.c.a. and GCA.
Message me if you would like to be included.

Background Information:

Here is George's link to the organizational thread:

List of Get To Know participants: http://golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,42023.0/

If you click on any of them, you will see the general gist of them. I will happily update it as you add posters.

Three Questions

- What brought you to golf?

- What brought you to golf course architecture?

- What brought you to golfclubatlas.com?


Long may the thread prosper!

Ron...

I think this is a great idea.  With Tom Macwood's passing, I feel like getting to know people and why they have a passion for golf and what they are all about is a key ingredient to the sense of family inherent in this site.

One idea I have is for you to reach out to interesting members who have less than, say, 1,000 posts and see if they will do the thread.  I've posted over 4,000 times.  People know me.  Others have posted a lot and, even though we love like tolerate them, it would be nice to get to know some fresher faces with a passion for the game.

Mac,

 Do you have many leather-bound books and an apartment that smells of rich mahogany?

Many got to know Mac, regardless of GCA affiliation.

Jim...I remember that line, but can't remember the context.  I think if I did, your post would be really funny.  Can you remind me?

 Oh-h, it's the deep burn! Oh, it's so deep! Oh, I can barely lift my right arm 'cause I did so many. I don't know if you heard me counting, I did over a thousand.

Mac, since you made the suggestion we've decided you're the person to ask Joe Fairey and Chris Cupit.

You want me to ask Joe Fairey and Chris Cupit to do a Get to Know you Thread, do I understand that correctly? 

If so, no problem.  I'll ask them asap.  Just let me know.

Well, they're suggestions. I was trying to think of who fits your request and theirs were the first two names who came to mind; ie two interesting people who don't post often.

Not what I wanted to write, but figured I should keep you around as a friend. Does this mean you want the questions?

Sure I'll do it, I think it will mean we've jumped the shark.

Ron,
Can you put Dan King on the list - specifically, I would like him to tell us about his quotes, how he is able to pull up a different quote every single time he posts.

We have Sam in the Can (that's like Prince Albert in a can, and way better than Sam on the can) when interest in my royal highness ends.)
