My name is J.R. and I have been a Mac user for quite a while. I've been retired but am about to re-start my golf club making business. I need to be on top of my game regarding IT so I decided to join the forum to help answer questions. Building a new website and social media pages.

OK, and welcome to the mac-forums stanfij, but I'm just a bit curious as to any connection between golf clubs and Apple Mac IT stuff. …???
PS: I'm assuming you have also noted the fact that the site may go poof and kaput in the future???

JR, meet another JR (John Ronald) although commonly known as JJ or more normally something less complimentary ??
Just don't forget the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. The day we stop asking them is the day everyone wants to know what you have left them in your will
Golf isn't my game, but if you include a radio controlled glider and call it glider golf, that is a different thing?

Patrick, that's great, BUT 3 different models and someone to chuck it for you?????
In ours it was one model and if you are flying it then you chuck it. The 'holes' were about 100 yards long and on a golf course, Minchinhampton Old Course, on a 600' high plateau just outside Stroud. Lots of wind and open. Non of this someone to chuck it for you stuff
Pure concentration, skill and LUCK!

John, you have to remember that that's in the USofA.
PS: I'm surprised you didn't link or post a photo of you flying your glider with a large paper bag over your head.

Alright with the chit chat already. Take it to Schweb's Lounge where you and John can fly high... ;D
Hi All,
Hi,
Donald Silverburgh here from Dallas, Texas. Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of Mac-Forums. I am so delighted and I am sure it will be a good fun. I've recently switched to iPhone from Android. I am a new user. And I can't express how lovely it is to be a part of MAC and iOS. Thanks again for the add.
Best Regards,
DS

Welcome to the forums Donald and you Texans will be overrunning the place pretty soon with so many of you from the big state.
Are you a Mac OS X user as well, or just an iPhone user, but it doesn't really matter as there are a number here who can help here if you need any.

Yeah I'm just an iPhone user. Thank you so much for the kindest gesture.

New to forum too much to absorb, this is probably not quite right.
61, trying to learn programming, having fun, really avoided all this all my life but its opened a new way of thinking.
