Two now :( I don't know how you got so little thumbs down, kudos. I'm already at 20 total, and I've got 1/4th of your helpfuls.

If you ever end up in the Pittsburgh area, I'll be here. I'm sure we'll cross paths eventually. Looks like you have to get out more ;) or maybe it's the other way around

A shout out to Pizza God on becoming the 14th reviewer to post 250 reviews. That's some extraordinary effort there. Only 943 more reviews to go to catch The Valkyrie Kid. A big thank you to him for all his contributions to this site. He's helped me target courses several times.

Wellsbranch250 now has 1098 Thumbs up, but has still not reached Diamond Level. So, if you have never Thumbed up a WB250 review (or even if you have), please visit his DGCR profile right now, read one of his reviews and leave a Thumbs up if you found it helpful.

It would be awesome if every time someone writes a review for a course, they would take some time to give some Thumbs up or down to the previous four or five reviews for the course. Please consider this a part of your review writing duties.

Also, if you follow or post on The Hole of The Day, please take the time to read a review or two for the course and add some thumbs while you are at it.

Thanks for the shout out on 250 reviews.

on the thumbs down, I don't hold back when I don't like something on a course. That is what a reviewer should do. Notice one of my last reviewed courses has 3/3. I actually like the review I did. It says exactly what a waste of time that course was.

But when you trash a course, someone who plays the course is going to give you a thumbs down.

I ain't gonna change :D

I still have 4 more reviews to write on the last 4 courses I played Saturday. I reviewed two of the short ones get get to 250 last night.

BTW, My current goal is to play every Public (and as many private) courses in Texas. I think I am at the 1/2 way point. People keep adding new courses in areas I have already played all the courses.

Next trip is back to Austin to knock out a few courses and see a show at Stubb's BBQ.

I just gave him a new unique thumb. I was hoping to be the magic user to push him over the requiement :)

Lol...scrolling through a list of 218 reviews is not even as fun as it sounds, and it doesn't sound fun. :| I found one park I had been to, though. :thmbup:

I very much appreciate the recent new unique thumbs. thank you prerude and Three Putt.

I also do want to continue to point out that another TR, markmcc, has also crossed the 1000 thumb line, and he is also short on the 200 uniques. His reviews and work is every bit as worthy of diamond level. He has reviewed 8 of the current top 25 courses, which would be 5th most among diamond level TRs.

Many a Diamond had to wait patiently for that all important 200th unique voter while they were stuck at Cubic Zirconia level.

I recall thanking everyone who's ever thumbed down one of my reviews... cuz for all I know, one of them just may have been my 200th voter. ;)

Thank Mark!

As we travel toward our summer volunteer gig in Maine I'm getting a chance to play some of the top courses in the country and filling in a lot of blanks in the NE states.

And as they say, patience is a virtue!!
