message: I don't have an issue with the removal of "well" but I don't agree with removing the pilots' names.  Their names were reported in reliable sources. Cla68 (talk) 03:39, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, since there seems to be no objection, I'll readd the pilots' names.  One thing to remember is that the two pilots as officers of the US military are/were public servants to the people of their country.  Thus, they are publicly accountable for their actions while using taxpayer-derived government funding.  There are no privacy issues involved when they are performing official duties, as was the case with the flyover. Cla68 (talk) 08:16, 20 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: High Quality

message: "As for classic golf the origin of snow golf is thought to be the Dutch game of "Kolf" that was played since the Middle Ages. " - Actually I believe the term is "kolven", I may be wrong. Although the name "golf" is of obvious Dutch origin, like football and other sports, golf's origins are very murky. It's by no means "definitely of Dutch origin".--MacRusgail (talk) 22:24, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

message: I would like to point out that there's no actual search results for Snow Golf Inc other than the social media accounts linked on the page, most of the search results for "Tina Blomme" appear to be from Tina Blomme too, and Tina Blomme owns the only website saying she made Snow Golf. This obviously doesn't mesh with WP:ABOUTSELF, and frankly I think the fact that there are literally no other sources I could find for this claim makes it clear that it shouldn't be in the article, no matter how many s there are on it.

message: The IPPA list pitch and put as being invented in England in 1914 (https://ippa.cloud/pitch-putt/pp-history/), yet it is listed here as being invented over a decade later in Ireland.

replies: text: And the Irish Times puts it in Fountainstown, County Cork, Ireland, "This is quite fitting, because pitch and putt was invented in Cork. It was developed in the holiday town of Fountainstown", and the other pitch and putt governing tradition mentions 1929 as the start date.  The answer is to list the disputing points.

Talk:Ping (golf)

message: Someone should write an article on the Ping Eye 2 irons. They are notable because they were the first perimeter-weighted clubs (commonly referred to as 'forgiving' clubs or 'cavity-backs') to hit the market. As stated on Ping's website: 
"The deep cavity allowed weight to be distributed around the outside of the head - resulting in a high moment of inertia (MOI). In simple terms, it meant the clubhead resisted twisting at impact on off-centre hits - so it was - and remains - very forgiving. Still highly useable, Ping Eye 2 irons are without doubt the most popular irons in the history of the game. So enduring is their appeal, they are still available to buy new from Ping as a special order."
Text from <http://www.golfbidder.co.uk/models/505/Ping__Iron_Set_Eye_2+.html> 
I could be wrong here, but wasn't Ping the first to engrave serial numbers on the nozzle for anti theft purposes and to facilitate easy club replacement?
I hope someone with a good understanding of golf technology can contribute.

Talk:Séverus de Gascogne

message: I am very new to entering information to Wikipedia, so please forgive me if I'm not entereing the information in accordance with all of your requirements (as I am trying to do) for it may simply be that I don't understand what it is that I have failed to do properly.
I submitted information about an historical figure, along with a link to a relevant source for the data. The person is relevant to history -- noteworthy for being an important figure in Gothic European History. The fact that the historical figure is not "famous" does not deny that the person is still notable to history.  The citation given as a source for the historical data are completely independent of me, or the person cited, as the person lived centuries ago.  Clearly, the person is "notable" if there is still data to be found regarding this person some 1500 years after they have lived.
I believe I entered all the information correctly, as well as listed a relevant, independent source. If I have made some error, please do let me know my error so that I may correct the entry, as the information is worthy of being placed within Wikipedia.  In fact, such historical data is the precise kind of data that should be included in any valuable encyclopedia.
Thank you,
Chris

Talk:Lob wedge

message: I would love to get some pictures of the designation on the bottom of the club (either those with an L or with the actual lift stamped on there).  I think a collection image (with the bottom of the club facing us and having 4 or 5 different types/sizes being displayed would be great).  I am thinking about running to a used golf club store to see if I can get the pics unless somebody already has them.
"The first use of higher loft wedges began with Tom Kite, a former physicist for NASA, who recognized the need for higher loft wedges ..."  Tom Kite, the golfer, was a former physicist for NASA?  I can find that information in none of Tom Kite's online biographies.  In addition, since he received a Business Administration degree in 1972 and turned pro as a golfer that same year, it seems unlikely to be true.  Maybe the reference is to some other Tom Kite, in which case the link is wrong.  In any case, it seems a cited reference is needed. 71.91.124.181 (talk) 11:51, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

message: According to the current Pinnacle web site (see the bottom of the page), "The Pinnacle®, Titleist® and FootJoy® brands together comprise Acushnet Company, which is an operating company of Fortune Brands, Inc."  None of the pictured Pinnacle product labels seem to say Titleist anywhere on them. Therefore Pinnacle is not the same thing as Titleist. It is a different brand family, and the discussion of Pinnacle does not appear to belong in this article. Discussion of Pinnacle may belong in an article about Acushnet or an article about Fortune Brands, or in a separate article specific to Pinnacle, but it does not belong in an article about Titleist. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:48, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Teeing ground

message: "• Blue / Black usually denotes the tee used for championship play in tournaments, and is the tee used by skilled male players who have a low handicapand. This tee is almost always the longest yardage for each hole.
• White usually the tee used most often by men, typically those who have a middle or high handicap. This tee is almost always the middle tee between the championship and ladies tee.
• Yellow / Red can have two meanings: if it's behind the white tees, it's usually for championship play. More commonly located in front of the white tee markers it typically denotes where women / seniors hit from and usually offers the shortest yardage on many courses.
• Green tee markers often have shorter yardage even than the red tee markers, and usually indicate where juniors and beginners hit from.
The surface of the teeing ground is generally grass, cut short to allow the least possible interference with the ball's lie, although the Rules do not specify that the teeing ground must be surfaced with grass nor the height at which it is cut."
Generally, this is how tee boxes are coloured, but theres no standard way of naming tee boxes. I've golfed on courses where the back tees are gold or platinum, and on courses where the front tees are grey. Its up to the course to decide what colour they want their tee boxes to be.

thread_title:  Tee colours 

message: In Europe, the colors are different. Standard, from back to front:
- white: backtees gentlemen
- yellow: standard tees gentlemen (a.k.a. 'medaltees')
- blue: backtees ladies
- red: standard tees ladies
Sometimes, there are two extra sets. Orange, placed in front of the red tees, denotes the forward tees. Black, placed behind the whites, denotes the championship tees.
In the Netherlands, you may also find lightblue and purple, intended for 'family golf'. These indcate teeing  groubds for beginners that are able to hit 80 and 50 meters respecitvely. These tees are introduced by the Dutch golf federation (ngf) to promote their 'comitted to family' program.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.223.51.34 (talk) 06:53, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

message: The OED claims that it is probably a contraction of "before". To me, this carries a certain amount of weight. Some of the offered explanations (in particular the rather obvious backronyms) seem strange.

The about article seeems okay, just going by that would allow us to trim a bit and focus on before as origin and how it came from there.
