Come to GolfBoards.com for great debate (or just to bag on Baldwin)

I remember the day clearly. I was summoned to the TravelGolf.com main complex to receive an important assignment.

It was a normal day at the complex, which inside is somewhat similar to the bar scene in the original Star Wars. Boss-in-chief Mark Nessmith was running around shirtless, screaming in a language I believed to be Farsi. Tim McDonald was mainlining Rogaine, while Chris Baldwin was furiously trying to locate Paula Creamer’s home phone number. Basically, it was business as usual around here.

Then came the assignment: They wanted me to go undercover to GolfBoards.com, take command away from Colonel Kurtz and restore GolfBoards.com to its former glory.

This was no easy task. At some point, GolfBoards.com became a grand experiment into the ideology of anarchy. Unfortunately, much like Somalia, warlords eventually took over. In this case, however, the warlords were trying to sell everything from viagra to every type of golf product you can imagine.

But no more. It was a long, dangerous mission, but I have slowly gained control, and am very pleased to announce that GolfBoards.com is now an under-control, moderated forum. And truly a happening place to be.

In our new Golf Talk section, we’re talking about Michelle Wie’s disqualification, the new slice-proof driver and many other topics. Other sections include, Best Golf Courses, Golf Humor and a whole section devoted to Bad Golfers.

It’s the scene, man.

So head on over to GolfBoards.com. You will be required to sign up, but it’s a simple, quick process that will ensure your anonymity and allow you to get into the conversations about golf and golf travel. Plus, it’s just one more place to clown Chris Baldwin (if that’s your thing). I’ll be there, keeping an eye on things and jumping into conversations, so come on by.

I have greatly enjoyed your page as well as your journalists' views. It sounds like you reporters really have it together and know how to have fun in the process. Soooo, how do I get on the payroll?

Hey U.D.,

Thank you for the kind words. Working here really is a blast and we all have a good time. Of course, management's liberal use of cattle prods to make us work faster is annoying, but after a while the scar tissue builds up well and it only hurts as much as ... well, a cattle prod to the back.

;)
