Yoda...I assume you mean you banned Stags...that don't seem right.
His suggestion was reasonable, and the information he provided regarding local AI's was sound.
I hope he was not banned purely because he was trying to take some business away from you?
Toolish,
It was right and you will have to trust our judgement. The decision is based on information and interactions that we won't expose. It's not about this thread. It was a unanimous joint decision by all of the Admins.

Please note that the information Mr. Stags posted regarding Authorized Instructors still stands.
As does each of his posts.
His membership does not.
As Bagger stated above, there is a reason for that. And it goes beyond the bounds of these Forums.
As far as competitive pressures go, please...
There are at least 85 million golfers (95 percent of all in the world according to The Golf Channel) who have waited patiently for the information we are now sharing. When the dam breaks, the deluge will swamp all those in its path. I have always sought to broaden -- not narrow -- the scope of The Golfing Machine. And the 'proof is in the pudding.' Have we ever -- ever -- deleted a posted reference or link to a 'competitor', even when that link was an obvious profiteering on our growing membership?
No.
Never.
Read my own 1982 multi-page brochure posted in these Forums. Do you find my name? Yes, but only as a last-page postscript in small type in a signature block destined for an international network of hundreds -- perhaps even thousands -- of instructors.
My challenge -- then and now renewed -- is to build the team necessary to support the coming demand.
Mr. Stags was divisive.
Deliberately and mean-spiritedly divisive.
This is Semper Fi.
All for one...
One for all.
Not...
Me against you.
Not...
You against me.
For that reason...
He is gone.
As will be the next who deliberately and maliciously uses these pages to oppose our mission.
