Regardless of the course methods, he chose to come here. Some choose to offer the guy some real advice. Others choose to make snide remarks and more or less insult him and the course. I thinks that's uncalled for.

To top it off, BillyMac chooses to share some genuine stuff with the OP, then HE gets jumped on and insulted. ...
Is that what happens after you've been in officiating too long? Ya get cranky and suspicious?

I'll pile on a DITTO!
