I am not going to spend a lot of time getting into this... Suffice to say I have put a *lot* of time into code placement issues like this in the past. You may think I need to review this yet again, but believe me, I have put countless hours into updating and maintaining this system. I did not just implement the system as it stands now in a few Saturday afternoons...
I have done tons of research, learning, and trying out what works best.
Google has changed their placement recommendations in the past. I put the code where it makes most sense in the past based on my research and how *I designed the FTH implementation to work*. I try to accommodate Google as appropriate, but the system design comes first, and I am not going to re-litigate all my past research and design decisions based on just one club's experience. Especially, when I know that this is very likely an outlier as we have not heard anything like this from any other club/district ... If it was a big issue caused by our system code we would have heard about it from others.
I suspect that you configured GA in some way that prevents it from working. Maybe you used a slightly different URL to set up your GA account for example.
