It is not hard to figure out how the Ford Truck site grew. A few years ago Ford sold over 700,000 F150's in a year. So there is bound to be lots of members at that website.

I like this site, however it is not my primary Golf Forum. There is nothing wrong with the layout etc. I just find the members are too spread out.

I belong to two Ontario golf forums. One is located in a city which is a 5 hour drive from me. However I feel right at home there and with close to 2800 posts it shows. I just find it is more interesting. There is more Buy/Sell/Trade ads. More tournament info, which is up to date, not 3 weeks old.
More discussions on OEM equipment, the new products coming out etc.
More general threads, golf related of course.
There is a section for sports threads, one for local events from 5 different cities. One which is located very close to me.

So in all it is a good golf forum. There is hardly any arguing between members and outsiders feel right at home there.

Give this forum time, it will grow. But in order to grow there needs to be more up to date topics about golf. The administrators need to post current PGA/European/Nationwide/LPGA/Champions Tour news.

But as I said, give it time. After all Rome was not built in one day.
