ode Do you all remember the holiday sales at Goldsmith where things were like 40-50% off.

Friends and family sale. I remember some used to bash it because they excluded or had much smaller discounts on OEM clubs. (The OEMs wouldn't allow it.) Great deals on components and supplies, though.

    Rickochet I think he ran off with Kosovogolfer who wanted to marry him.

    LOL!

      ode I think he was one of the moderators that got caught with their pants down when their private forum/messages meant for moderators only went public and some disparaging commentary re other members was in those messages.

      That was a hoot!
      CoachSB was Chris. He has an autistic son and over time, needing to learn more to best love and meet his son's needs, he just naturally followed a path to work in human services. We used to correspond years and years ago.

          professor CoachSB was Chris.

          He is Steve Bowers from Carmel, IN. He used to host the Hoosier Daddy Open every year for FGI bud. Lots of fun at his home course north of Indy at Cool Lake.

              Eguller FGI was an energetic forum with a lot of characters such as ASKE.

              My nemesis, but he did make good on losing a bet and shipped me a dozen Pro VI's (although he papered the box in death metal stuff and then wrapped it in yards and yards of packing tape. He had a Pittsburgh connection because he was teaching at Carnegie Mellon. (His wife got in on the act for a little bit too.)

                  professor FGI was an energetic forum with a lot of characters such as ASKE.

                  I remember Aske would always try to run the table by having all the posts on the front page. I think it usually happened on Friday night. 🍺 Justin had to put a gate on it to slow him down. 🤣

                    One of our memories isn't top notch - I thought it was his sister posting. 🤔

                        Tour Swing components.

                        I never did make it up to his place outside Cedar Rapids.

                          Oh yeah. He was "unique." Was he one of the ones who started that other site (golfhos)? As I recall that group didn't talk much about golf. I believe "Spaceage" was one of those guys as well. He seemed to get triggered by the tiniest hint of conservative politics.

                              darpar Didn't Peter Jacobsen posts a couple of times on FGI?

                              A lot of "peters" posted on FGI but not sure Jake ever did. 😜

                                darpar The brother sister combo was Torpedo and Natalie (I think)

                                Sounds right. Because of him a resurrected old thread became known as "torpedoed." Some folks weren't too happy because I would torpedo the "Do you pee in the shower" thread.

                                    Yeah, I liked them. It was neat having Natalie in here. She ignored the childish frat boy stuff we'd "occasionally" dish out.
