Yup, he sure was. I think they are the only two I have seen achieve that.

I've been a follower of your reviews for a long time, so keep up the good work.

I'm DGCR #74, but I noticed something I've never seen on DGCR until today. You are the first person I've ever seen with 1000 Yes votes that is still a Silver level TR. This is by no means a knock on you because it obviously means that you lack the unique votes. Where are those Unique voters?? Your excellent reviews are well worth checking out.

Thank you for the compliments!

I credit the average thumbs mainly to a small but very supportive group of users here who regularly read and thumb up my reviews. I decided not to track uniques closely (yet ), but I would bet that about half of my total thumbs can be attributed to the same maybe 8-10 people. I try my best to return the favor!

And yet another 1,000 club inductee this morning: Congrats to Lee76007!

11.31 thumbs per review and a 99.6% positive thumb ratio. Impressive stats!

Yeah, lee76007 writes great reviews, and since he's a former submariner you know he's cool!

Yes, I was. Now that I'm in that 1000+, but short of uniques, we've been calling it "Cubic Zirconium"

I like that!!! The REAL cool kids.

Now we both got booted out of that club though. It looks like someone thumbed up one of my reviews who hadn't before and that was all I needed! I went and looked at my most recent review - I could have sworn all those users thumbed up my reviews before! Who knows.

I'm hitting all the milestones at once too - course #100 is coming up very soon.

Congrats on going Gold!

Do you have a memorable course lined up for #100?

I hope so! It's not a top 10 course or a commonly mentioned one on here, but one that (from the sound of it) may be flying by under the radar.

I hope to find out tomorrow. I was originally planning on going today, but decided there would be plenty of other opportunities in the future to bag courses in 20mph winds and spotty heavy rains.
