I have noticed you do not have any sponsorships for your website. And thought the amount of web traffic that goes through your site that you should look for a couple ad's or something along the lines of that to make what you guys do a little more worth while. Granted that it doesn't become overloaded with ad's like a xxx site but just wondered if you have ever thought about that. Wouldn't bug me any and would like to see you guys get paid for your time by someone for the great work you do.

I believe the main reason is that they would lose the right to use official PGA/European tour naming and logos etc, so they are non profit. I'm guessing Tim (& others??) must pay for all the server space etc? Either way massive thanks to all the staff for everything  |

If we were in this for the money -- We would have blasted this things full of ads a long time ago. Nothing makes a site look more unprofessional, cluttered, and somewhere I don't want to be like ads do. It will never happen. The closest we will ever get will be if we ever get into real sponsored tournaments and allow companies/products to sponsor a tournament. Then it will be a nice banner image on the leaderboard.

Sounds pretty cool. Is this something that you are already working on, or just something you would like to see one day? |

I respect that Tim. If you were to take donations from us members, how would you go about that? Just to help with the cost of running things here. |

I completely agree with Tim reasons...but a little "donation" button in the forum part of the website maybe an idea...
