But, the obsession is a little weird. I don’t think there’s any obsession with Monte as you infer. Monte happens to be a great teacher with great and easy to understand content. He also participates a lot on the forum and helps people for free by doing it as well as sharing information. Dan Carraher aka iteach is another example of someone who used to participate and help a lot. The membership there just shows the gratitude for their participation on the forum and for the amount of members they both helped. in case you hadn’t noticed there’s several on here including myself who reference Monte and his teaching.

So it’s not just a wrx thing Yup. Monte has a huge following on YouTube and now Instagram, yes he posts a lot a WRX but like you noted, he offers a lot of free help and tips. Hard to complain about that. I'm very happy I found Monte through WRX when I was on there years ago - a lot of what he recommends lines up with what my former pro had me working on. Now that he's no longer teaching (got out of the golf industry entirely) I have all of Monte's videos that help reinforce a lot of things I was working on in person.

Well at least I am in good company---- There is another guy I know on WRX he is mostly like me posts in the Classic Threads ( I think he may be here too) he got banned from GEA--- I chalk it up with an experience 30 years ago. We did not live at the beach yet but were visiting. Got thrown out of the NASCAR Speedpark here. I was about half lit and got to racing Go Karts with a group of Shriners out of Tennessee. We got to beating and banging too much and got thrown out, I told them I had been thrown out of better places with worse people. Come to find out that group was staying at the same motel as we were and the party rolled on in the pool area and parking lot to the crack of dawn. Yep one of my biggest honors Getting thrown out of a theme park with the Shriners-- Yeah the GEA ranks right up there with that Rickp, tommc23, bens197 and 5 others 8 Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

Not disagreeing that you have a legit complaint and should get more an explanation for their actions but what does posting this here accomplish? Most members here would have a range of emotions if someone posted on another forum trashing the mods, the website, other staff or the members of MGS on another forum. So what does airing the gripe with that site accomplish here? The thing I find funny is many that post in this thread about how bad the membership or mods are at wrx also post on that site looking for help on some aspects of equipment including balls, or in the lessons thread. Some will post one thing here and then post somewhat opposite take on the subject over there ir vice versa. I read/post on wrx as well as Facebook groups so not faulting anyone for participating in multiple forums. On a side note other than they are a competitor I’m not even sure why this thread is still open.

So what does airing the gripe with that site accomplish here? posting my experiences about being suspended (which a few others have done anecdotally) seems relevant in a thread that's been discussing the heavy handedness of the moderators and admins over at WRX. was i a bit of a di*k? sure, ill allow that. but that's what happens when a few attempts to get answers respectfully go ignored. the mods here are amazing, but more than that they are part of the community and the daily discussion on this board. the moderators over there never post - they just drop the suspension or ban hammer from up on high, seemingly at their discretion for completely nebulous reasons. IF our mods were like that, yeah i think you'd see quite a few honest reviews of them popping up on other boards where members here spend some of their time. luckily that isn't the case.

Yellow Ball Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I guess they wouldn't appreciate me over there! Makes me proud to say I am loyal to MGS. Well at least for as long as they will allow me to be a part of the community. You know, I call it as I see it!

BostonSal Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 I though that Golf Review was fun. No moderation at all so nobody worried about getting blocked. Everybody just shot from the hip. That could also be the reason why it was largely abandoned, however. Civility was almost against the rules, or would have been if rules actually existed. They keep the sight up for some reason, but there are never recent posts on it. It's almost like some sort of archive. I completely forgot my password years ago. Deserters went to WRX and Hackers Paradise and ShotTalk and the Sand Trap and places like that, but were usually shoed away for bringing their Golf Review habits with them. Did MGS get any sort of migration from Golf Review' maybe five or six years ago? I don't see any poster who remotely looks like a Golf Review denizen here now.
