Hello Golfers!
I am doing some research for my site: www.igolf.to (Golf Dating).
Anyway - what I want to know from my peers is: what would you be most
interested to know about a prospective golf partner?
1. Left right handed golfer
2. Type of clubs used
3. Type of balls
4. Prefers to cart or drive caddie or drag!
The idea behind the site is to network golfers - which in its self is
simple enough however what would make it more interesting?
Perhaps being able to create golf days and allow other members to join
a game or create similar games and to have a ricking party on the 19th
hole...
I would love your feedback suggestions and comments. I will chuck the
good ones into my blog!
- brendan

Crap already attracts crap.
This site is unnecessary.

You have no idea if this study you trotted out, which directly contradicts
the vast majority of climate research going on today, has any validity
whatsoever. You're just using it because it plays into your own
preconceived biases.

Coming in here from left field, been busy for the past few weeks, but...
Perhaps a close analogy would for you to draw a mustache on the Mona
Lisa and with great fanfare and publicity, call it an original "Great
Work of Art".
For the record, I hate the sound of KG's stuff. Besides the whiny, mono
modality that pervades everything, he just plain has no real talent. No
color, no soul, no anything but sound. Unpleasant sound at that.
I am not a musician, I do not play an instrument but I love music and my
tastes are very eclectic. There are a few genre that I don't enjoy but
generally my taste is pretty widespread.

You can be sure that this dog hunts. It "sounds" like I'm saying
what? That's a stretch, if you'll read that to which you responded.
It doesn't take a jazz musician to understand his shortcomings. Anyone
that can discern intonation can hear them. If you can't, it doesn't
make you a bad person, and if you like his music, that's just finel.
It's difficult to imagine an analogy to his overdubbing on an
Armstrong record. Having LLLarry compare his swing to Ernie Els' in
a video would be one.
As far as sour grapes go; he and I are, nor never were, in the same
genre. I don't give a crap about how much money he makes, that's
fine with me. A lot of no-talents have made millions in the music
business. Fame? Who cares?. Putting himself in the same category of
really great musicians? That's just blasphemy.

That's the sour grapes part I'm talking about.

" Sour grapes" on my part? Why don't you google Aesop and find out
what that means. It has no application here.
The fact is that this mediocre musician took an established jazz
icon's work and superimposed his doodling on it.
