    Hi there

    This is just a warning to fellow golfers out there who are not very clued up about what your IP address is, and what it means, along with the dia consequencies you could endure as a result off your IP address getting in to the wrong hands.

    It's a very simple matter for website operators, ISP's, spammers, hackers, and others to determine your IP address, your ISP location, and more.Using such information, a hacker could attempt to break into your computer, websites could keep records of your visits, and tracking software could map a path to your geographic location. Some bulletin board type websites even display your IP address for public view when you post a message.

    So,there you go, be carefull off which websites you visit when your IP address is on display for other people to see, you could be a victim off hackers who could steal your credit card details and passwords.
