I will just reiterate that I never started frequenting this site because you chose not to accept advertising dollars. I found your reviews to be thorough, honest, and combined with a very down-to-earth (e.g. human) touch. Couple that with a friendly community and I was hooked.

I would be thrilled if you have ways to bring me closer to pro golfers, manufacturers, and courses. If changing you business model is the only way you can do that, so be it. Restaurant critics may not give a restaurant a great review, but that doesn't mean that the newspaper the critic works for can't accept advertising dollars from the same restaurant. Advertisements don't have to by synonymous with pay-offs.

If your vision is to bring the average golfer closer to the industry, then you should do what it takes to realize that vision. And you should benefit from your hard work. I think your vision is great and it works! As a high handicapper, I have been exposed to more information through your site than any other source. When I can't find what I need on your site, I go elsewhere. If you can bring me those other pieces, I won’t need to go anywhere else.
