.........Snippage........

Glad you had a good time. I always enjoy playing with Scott. We are
about the same handicap so it's a pretty fair straight up match.

For the record -- I would pick rainy cold NC weather over perfect,
comfortable AZ weather any day! :-p

I always come back to this group because I can feel a sense of
community and friendship. Personally, it does my heart good to read
about RSG golf tournaments/events and the great fun that was had.
I've seen pics of some of the events and just observing the
enthusiasm, joy and friendship is priceless.
I have nowhere near the knowledge and experience the Pros on this
group have, but this is where I come to learn and enjoy many of the
posts on RSG.
I'm so glad you had a great time! Thanks for sharing.

I doubt if Crusty is Eric, given the manner (or lack of) he addressed Helen.

Hi Greg! Hope all is well with you buddy! And hope all is well with
the rest of my friends and acquaintances here!

I got an email earlier today from an old RSG friend asking me if I was
"Crusty". No, I am not "Crusty". That is the God honest truth,
don't know who this is, and frankly could care less. I would suggest
that you'all ignore this jerk, and all others like him. Seems to me,
he is just trying to get a reaction, and it seems to be working! I
bet "Crusty" is some regular here, one who is bored or just looking to
stir up things.

I have not posted to this group well over a year and a half and
frankly have no interest in resuming this. It is not a productive use
of my time. If others find joy here, that is great for them! While
I browse the group every few weeks, I really have no interest in being
a participant any longer. There is very little golf content, have no
interest whatsoever in political or other debates, and these stupid
advertisements are rampant and I am so computer illiterate I don't
even know how to eliminate them from my browser, and I have no
interest in engaging in any of these silly flame wars, of which I was
regretfully a part of myself I have enough friends, acquaintances,
and co-workers who enjoy this great game, I don't need to discuss it
in a virtual world with a bunch folks most of whom I don't know and
really at this point have no desire to know.

"Crusty" sounds like a jerk, based on a few of the postings I read .
If anyone thinks he/she is me, I am sorry for that, just know it is
not me. I don't want any problems with anyone here, that is the only
reason I am taking the time to write this.

Hope RSG finds a way to deal with all these ridiculous advertisements
and idiots like "Crusty" will always be around, just ignore them.

Best wishes to all and hope everyone here is enjoying the wonderful
weather. If anyone interested in a round of golf someday, give me a
shout!

Eric "the Hammer"
