Even changing his name repeatedly to try to get around the ban failed (I think they tracked him by ISP and deleted any post he made). So RSG is stuck with him again. We learned a lot about him at TGC. His brother goes by the handle 5hcpgolf and pretty much filled us in on the puffed up BS. It was kind of sad watching to brothers their age going at each other. It did confirm everything everyone here has ever though about Larry.
