As someone who joined the forum just over 4 years ago, I didnt know anybody on here when I joined. I've played all the Old Farts v Whippersnappers meets, a couple of H4H's and met up with a few people locally for a game either at their place or Stoneham when I was a member. So I have met quite a few people, but wouldnt nessecarily say I know them. I dont particularly post that much on here either, so quite likely an opinion of me from my postings will be quite vague.

Reading a lot of topics, generally the argumentative ones, it seems that a lot of people know each other better/more than the interactions I have had, or is this all just based on their online personas? Did people join the forum knowing others, or have you mainly got to know them since being here?

I didn't know anyone before joining. I've played with a few on here, either in NE meets or more often I've met up in friendly games, opens etc that are not forum linked. The NE lads are a small bunch but all are friendly and good to play a game with.

The others on the forum I only know their online persona's, I have not been to the mega meets.

Met a few guys at the TM day last summer I'm crap with names though so if you ask me to name them I'd be clueless but I'd recognise them easily ?

I feel like I know quite a few but have never met anyone in person. Used to be on the Golf Magic forum back in the day and drifted over here.

I didn't know anyone before I joined and wouldn't really say I know anyone now. Played a few times with people from here outside the forum at clubs I belong to and only played at someone elses club from here once.

So probably could summarise to say I don't really know many people from here(two to be more exact) and its unlikely to change from now on.:LOL:

All the north west guys were very nice to me when I moved to liverpool for 4 years. Was invited to play countless board members home courses.
Joined lee park as there was 3 guys off here that played there.

Really appreciated it.

Met more board members on a few big meets. Those were the days. :)

I've been on here for over 12 years (OK, I'm a glutton for punishment) and attended possibly the 1st meet in the SE. Probably met 100 or more Forumers in that time and never found one I wouldn't want to play golf with. Of those I would say there 30/40 I know quite well with maybe a dozen or so as friends. I know them well enough that I can take the P out of them and know that they think I'm only joking ......

Done a few meets/events, know more by face and sometimes confused by username v actual name.
Echo Lord T’s comments on the NE guys and some are larger in life than on here.
