Hey Guys,

My buddies are law students who try to play a few times a week. We end up going to the same course about 90% of the time and we're all starting to get a little bored of the same course. Do you guys have any ideas for something besides our usual stroke play/match play/skin format we usually use? Anything to make an old muni look new again?

Thanks in advance!

One idea that I read about once is where you play "worst ball". Make it a 2v2 competition. Makes you hit from harder lies and both people have to make putts to end the hole.

Sumo 10.5*
R7 Draw 15* 3W
3dx 17* 2H
Pi5 3-PW
Spin Milled Vokey 54* CG11 60* C-01

Move all the way up to the ladies tees and have at it. It'll change the entire dynamic of the course for you and make for some interesting risk/reward decisions!

Play with one club on a hole from tee to putt. For an example us only a 5 or 6 iron on a par 5.

It will make you appreciate your putter and wedges.

There are any number of games that can make the play interesting. Quite a few have already been mentioned. One thing that we used to do in my regular group at a course where everyone was a member was this. We would play from all the tee boxes. It is amazing how much different a course is when you play from different tees. One time we might play red-white-blue. 1st hole we play from reds, 2nd from whites, 3rd from blues, etc. Then the back nine we would reverse it and go blue-white-red. This particular course has 6 each of par 3-4-5. So occasionally we would play all par 3's from the whites, and all par-5's from the reds, or all par-4s from the blues. It really helped out to keep things interesting and at least make the course look different.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

We play wolf all of the time. Round robin if you have a 3-some. We also play a game where you can pick any two clubs to play with and thats all you play with!

    • 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.
