new name for the lounge forum?

[MikeH]

Evening all
I hope everyone has managed to get out for a knock or some practice this weekend and enjoy the good weather
I'm just following up on a thread on the website feedback forum http://forums.golf-monthly.co.uk//showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/101525/an/0/page/0#101525
The idea is to change the name of 'the lounge' to '1st tee' to make it more reflective of the content in there
I like the 1st tee idea but what what does everyone reckon?
Also Brendy suggested changing the name of the Out of Bounds (off topic) forum as well
Again, any strong views either way and if suggestions for a new name for OOB
cheers

Names have always seemed the wrong way round, so 1st tee seems good, likewise OOB could be The Pub perhaps?

No confusion for me. I fail to see what's difficult about the existing set up. You only need to read a few posts before jumping in to place your own post.

But I can also see why the change would need to be made.

How about 'Fairway' and 'Nineteenth'.

I'm easy either way, I'll just get used to it.

if it ain`t broke -don`t fix it !!

1st Tee makes me think there should be another 17 somewhere. What about just On the Tee or perhaps In Play?

Nineteenth for OOB is good. Like it.

1st tee

19th

I think OOB already kinda indicates that it's offtopic chat. I don't really mind "The 19th" though as it's used a lot anyway.

But with regards to this forum being called 1st tee? I think it's terribad. I don't really have anything better though so whether i'm in a position to comment or not is debatable!!

I think OOB works well enough. Its pretty obvious.
I quite like "On the Tee" - better than 1st Tee or The Lounge.

 

[Basher]

What about "Tee Talk" for golf related posts and "The Clubhouse" for general non related chat.

 

[haplesshacker]

On the course and In the clubhouse

 

[golf_bug]

At the risk of sounding boring and obvious, how about "Golf Topics" and "Non-Golf Topics"?!?!?!?!?!?! Not 'sexy' enough?

 

[rgs]

OOB is perfect--but if its to change i like the 19th.

I think on the tee is a better title than the lounge.

 

[viscount17]

If it's to be '1st Tee' for the Lounge, then 'The 19th' for OOB

but if its 'On the Tee', the OOB is fine as is.

I did think that 'the lounge' was the wrong name for the on topic section so I think the change is good idea.

If we're going along with the idea that the names should be related then my votes are:

In play & OOB

1st tee & 19th

 

[madandra]

I would call the Lounge ... The Clubhouse .. and


I would call the Out Of Bounds section ..... The Spike/Mucky Bar

 

[Sam]

Club 15

Prefer 'in play' or 'fairway' to first tee. Also think using rooms like 'cubhouse' and 'spike bar' doesn't differentiate sufficiently compared to OOB which says what it is!

1st tee for the lounge is good.

Out of bounds speaks for itself IMO but I do also like the sound of the 19th.

 

[Herbie]

What about 'Opening Hole' For intros.
'19th' For golf chat general
'OOB' As it is now.
'Pro shop' For all golf kit chatter.


I dont really care but if change is afoot, I may as well throw something in.

What about Golf Talk. and The Clubhouse?
