OK - So I have to apologize and chew a little humble-pie with crow sauce. About a week ago, I fired off my mouth because I was frustrated with the new site, couldn't find my place in the classwork, blah, blah, blah. And some other folks jumped in, sharing a bit of my frustration --- and I'M SORRY I EVEN BROUGHT IT UP. I hope Tom will forgive my bad behavior; I've since played around with the new site enough to appreciate the effort that it must have taken to re-tool everything. I'm appreciative of the new material as well. And I promise (in the future) to not behave like an ornery old guy in the face of change - that's NOT how I want to be. I'm grateful for the work Tom and his crew do, and I am happy (and a little chagrined) to be here. (And, my game is improving greatly!) Again: sorry, and thanks.

Great report and I must agree that I have found that humble pie is always best served with friends keep hitting them straight.
@galaxystephens - Thanks very much for that, but please - no worries going forward. Let's now just get to playing and enjoying some great golf!!
Fair play…well said
Nicely done. That takes guts. It kind of reminds me a poem I read recently:
Oh, golfers of the world, lend me your ear,
For a tale of apology you're sure to hear.
One frustrated chap fired off his mouth,
Said things he shouldn't, in truth, he'll allow.
He moaned about the new site, couldn't find his way,
But others joined in, had things to say.
Yet, he now admits he was wrong,
To vent his frustration and complain so long.
He's eaten humble-pie with crow sauce,
And pledged to change, no more of that ornery old boss.
He's tried the new site and appreciates the effort,
To re-tool everything, it wasn't just a weather forecast.
He's grateful to Tom and his crew,
For the work they do, to make things anew.
He's a little chagrined, but also happy to be here,
And to report his game is improving, so let's give him a cheer!
So, let's take a cue from this golfer's song,
And admit when we're wrong, it won't take too long.
With guts and grace, we can vow to do better,
And be appreciative of those who make things smoother.
In the end, it's just a game we play,
But it's better to do it with kindness each day.
So, hats off to this golfer, for his honest display,
And may we all learn from his good natured way.
