Because of the first quote I would think long and hard before handing in my resignation (no matter how stupid I think the situation is). Some things like friendships are more important than expressing my personal indignations. I once made a similar decision based on principle and I still regret it. Friends will likely still be there after the Pro and the current politics are long gone.

^this! The main reason I don't take part in comps/leagues is because of all the seriousness! People moaning and accusations of cheating! It removes the fun! I wouldn't leave a club because of it, I'd just carry on, play for fun, and leave all the cheating, bitching & whining to the serious people! It would seem the committees decision is wrong and final, accept that these are the type if people your dealing with, take it on the chin and enjoy the rest of your games!

The problem is the cheating is what takes the fun away, being  competitive and having fun during it can only work when the rules are abided by. Yeah maybe he shouldn't resign from the club but just stop playing in this format until they get their act together.

I would say the deciding factor for me, if I were in that situation, would be that I wouldn't want to let a playing partner down once I had committed to playing. It would be important to me to keep that obligation to a friend come Hell or high water.

But you see, some of us really love the competition, and if that isn't done right, there is no fun in it.  The whole point of having rules and a dependable handicap system is to make the game work for competition.  If the powers that be throw out the rule book then it sucks any fun right out of the game.

I didn't read very far into this other than the part of the pro and committee going against a clear rule, I think this is up to the OP if he feels that others involved will be understanding of the stance he wants to take, it's his call since he knows these people and whatever he chooses hopefully it works out for the best.

My #1 obligation is to my best friend. The league season is split in two halves and we both decided to leave the league after the 1st half is completed. Shame on the league administration & committee, not us.

As far as leaving the club entirely I will need to think long and hard about that. Being a 27 year member I cannot convince myself that leaving all my golfing buddies is the right decision. Because we have a political Pro and bad committee shouldn't be the deciding factor. Right now I'm all for ignoring the bad apples who think they are above the rules of golf and play my game where they are not.

It's easy to ignore the Pro, he doesn't do anything anyway :-o

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
