"Golf tips"? That is a little nonchalant. Any serious golfer knows that tips are not the way to build a solid golf game. You need fundamentals and a clear understanding of how the club works, not tips. Tips are what golf magazines offer their readers to keep them interested and yet in the long run still confused about what they're doing with their swing. There's a thousand different ways to describe the swing, and they come at you every month with a different one.

I propose to rename this forum something like

The Golf Swing
Golf Swing Theory

or even "Golf Swing Instruction". Something more with more substance than "Golf Tips". I for one have gained some really good insight from golf swing discussion forums before, and there's no reason this forum can't offer the same kind of thing. Calling it "Golf Tips" does it a disservice IMO.

How about "Golf Advice"?

I think swing theory stuff is too tied to a specific part of the game. what if someone wants to know how to fix divots?

I got an idea for a new name:

"the forum for discussing and debating new tips, tactics, and fundamentals than can be instrumental to inproving your golf game."

Like it?

Nah, too long. How about "TOFFKAGT"? (which is short for "The Oobgolf Forum Formerly Kown As Golf Tips") Cool

No, no, no. 42 is the answer.

It's the answer to the meaning of life.
