As you say though, legal action could be very expensive and your competitors are likely to have the kind of flesh-eating lawyers you won't want to deal with.

Legal action isn't the only way forward though - have you thought about getting your users to sign some sort of petition in addition to leaving comments? If you get enough people behind you, there's every chance that one or more of the golfing magazines would be interested in running a story about this - mags have a lot of space to fill and everyone loves a little guy vs big business story. Your competitor isn't likely to want that sort of exposure and customer pressure can be very powerful!

Good luck whatever you do!

That's what i'm trying to do here... I need designers behind me though.. cause golfers aren't always designers, and they'll think so what... "they both got the same template" which is a joke, cause i custom designed my site... and i know a billion dollar business doesn't use templates..
