The site could generate more traffic by becoming more "everyday" golfer friendly in the instruction forum.

Strickly speaking I have never felt that there needs to be two TGM specific forums, because for one thing, the content in one is really not that more advanced than the other anyways and for most its all "advanced". If it really is an advanced subject then there is only a handful of people would understand it anyways.

What I believe would be generate more traffic is merging the two instruction forums on the golfing machine and creating a general golfing discussion forum which anyone can post about anything instruction. The current caterisation I feel makes many posters feel they are unable to post - maybe because they feel intimidated with the language and the fact that they probably cannot understand the replies. Alot of people just have to see "primary lever assembly" and think its all too complex for them... we need to tap into these people at their level without being condescending or intimidating....

I also think that the sticky button has been abused.... there is alot to be unstuck IMO. Apart from the fact you have to scroll down half the page each time. It is not like the forum member does not know where the gallery is and this would prompt more discussing when they wish to talk about a video, they would create a new thread rather than just add another post at the end of a 8 page discussion which has already gone stagnant long ago.

Thats two things for starters I feel could be improved in IMO....
