I've been here a few years now, and there's a few things i have learned we hate unequivocally
1) People who skim threads
2) DTC Vendors
3) Fairway divots
4) Bags that have 14 slots in them (this one is bonkers, but i love it)
I do sometimes skim threads. I don't mean to, but i want to explain.....
Coming to THP is a great reprieve from the monotony that is work and family (well actually i do love my job , and tolerate my family)...but they keep you busy. I'm on a number of calls every day.....sometimes you finish a call at like 10:45 and you have only 15 minutes before your next one....so what do you want to do? Obviously come to THP and get a few comments in about this or that, because you know, you REALLY like this place and all
Now look, maybe there is a really cool thread about whatever, could be about shooting -9 at Augusta, could be about LIV, could be about LPGA vs some dude. Whatever. Some thing really piques your interest
So you are like....OK i want to comment on this because it's fun. But you dont have time to read all 6 pages, but you really like being part of the community. So you comment something and then 5 dudes call you a skimmer because someone on page 2 wrote that. It happens.....
So it's true , you skimmed. I can admit this....I , MtlJeff skim semi-regularly (but i try to make it up in other ways, on weekends, with ball reviews etc).... Sometimes you feel that you just want to be a part of a fun thread and if you wait 5 hours until your break you'll miss out on all of the fun stuff. It's classic FOMO.
We're not terrible people, we just skim sometimes.
OK, that's my thing for the day.
