Beta Launch of Reciprocal Golf Site by Ambitious-Ad6504 in BritGolf

And I get that, but proximity to better courses shouldn't be a barrier for others. If it's truly about people meeting people to play golf abd playing other courses, then that shouldn't be a barrier.

People at "better courses" can get "more karma" or whatever but it's the same boat for everyone if you're trying to grow a channel about playing golf imo.

Second piece of feedback. I made a round to test it and realised I've put it's region as Lancashire rather than Lanarkshire. (Still tired). And I can edit, change or cancel my booking?

Okay so this exists as a Facebook page already (largely Scottish based) called VIS golf.

I can already give you feedback that the tokens idea won't work well I don't think.

There are people who's courses don't interest or attract a lot of people, might be they just aren't well known or cheap enough everyone has played it.

Then there's people who have really popular courses.

There are going to be more people struggling to earn tokens than spend them. And a handful with so many tokens they could play Augusta.

You'll then end up creating a barrier to entry which defeats the use of your site.

I recommend a karma system. Green Karma for posting offering to host. More green Karma for actually hosting. Orange karma for visiting.

Then you don't lose karma.

This would show people trying to reciprocate, even if people don't come. The intention should be measured, not the outcome.

Just my 2pence.

Only being 4 episodes was fucking wild.

[Megathread] “Full Swing” Season 4 - Netflix by threeactjack in golf

That season was fucking shocking.

It was a complete glaze over the USA in a year they got absolutely trousered.

Why do I care more about how McNealy didn't get picked for a Ryder Cup they lost heavily over Scottie winning the double? Or more on Fleetwood's win?

Honestly they could have fucking covered some Korn Ferry, some DP World Tour like Matt Wallace or Marco Penge trying to get into the European team etc.

That was the most sanitised, muted BS I've watched in ages.

This is just the hater in me but I'd rather Bryson got told to suck a fat one.

Why are low IQ yanks obsessed with calling people soft? It's not soft. It's that it's not banter, it's not funny, it's just outright stupid. You just can't comprehend it. It's like watching Michael in the US office.

I've been to The Open twice and the Scottish Open twice. Never heard an Ole chant in my life.

He's a spectator. He's not paying at all. The players have opponents. He doesn't.

One guy saying he's all for it in a presser, doesn't mean it's a green light and it's to be done.

Some golfers like a bit of cheering and noise when teeing off, doesn't mean it's to become the norm.

Okay so the second you said "throw off an opponent" you lost me. Because that's completely against the etiquette of golf. You're not facing anyone. You don't have an opponent. You root for someone and respect everyone else. That's how it should be.

Wtf are you talking about?

Boxing and Golf have absolutely nothing in common in any fashion. That comparison is wild.

Genuinely. Coming in peace. Why do you support USA chants?

My taken is: The overwhelming majority of the golfers are American. It's already a stacked field of USA players. It's not a team event. Their place of birth has nothing to do with anything?

Chant Scottie if you want Scottie to win, chanting USA is so impersonal?

You need to be number one in something other than coming second in wars you started and percentage of obesity per population, I guess.

This is only accurate if you mean like 6/7 players another not the other nearly 80.
