Check out our homepage and let us know what you think about the music. We wanted to add something that captured the entreprenureal, dig it out of the dirt spirit that is Lynn Blake Golf. We welcome your feedback and suggestions!

Have you considered simple sound effects? What about the sound of a golf ball dropping into the bottom of the cup? A golf Ball Strike; but a good one?

Sounds of Silence . . . Not!

What about using a "Flash" entrance. Just a few seconds?

Thanks, Daryl, for your answers. We also are far from satisfied. Hence, our Poll and Thread.

Actually, we favored a streaming photographic succession from wee tots and first strokes; to the PGA TOUR; accompanied by a few choice historical "moments" and "gallery roars". It's just been tougher to find the clips and time to make it happen. Not to mention that, upon reflection and review of our own scrapbook, the LBG history has been every bit as embryonic, exciting and fulfilling.

Hence the stereotypical music offered to bridge the gap.



However, with due respect to your own "volume knob", I intensely disliked the silence accompanying the Home Page intro. Trust me, I've lived the "intro", and there was nothing "silent" about it! The "Rocky" theme was a convenient alternative. One that no doubt will accelerate a more desired presentation.

Meanwhile, it's "Just do it".

And, "Hasta la vista, baby!" to . . .

The Sounds of Silence.

Ya, that sounds really good.

With our LBG regulars, this whole discussion is somewhat academic. Our browser log-ins take us directly to the Forum's pages straightaway, bypassing the Home Page, et. al. http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...earchid=356746

Hey, a new Home Page!

Yo Adrian !
I personally love the Rocky Music (seems I am the only one so far), but an alternative could be to have Lynn play a guitar solo, demonstrating Educated Hands.

Gotta Love It!!!
I travel with my own collection of Rocky movies 1-4 (5 really sucked) when I travel. I will pop one in when I want to get motivated. I think it is a great addition to the sight, thanks Ben.

Can you imagine the music that sounded when Jeff Hull ACED the last hole to win the Georgia PGA's 2007 Griffin Classic? Wow! I dare say that has NEVER before happened in tournament play.

Go here http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/s...riffin+classic and start with Jeff's post #13. Unfortunately, the lead post link to the PGA Georgia Section is current and no longer accesses Jeff's great win. We'll see if we can dig up the article. For now, though . . .

Yo Adrian!

Yo Rocky!

Yo JEFF!
