I play with a lot of sick golfaholic gamblers, but it's a lot of fun. We play this game called the full dot package where prett much almost every part of the hole your playing has potential "$$" to be mad or lost.

We usually play $10.00 nassua (front, back and total) and $2.00 a dot and then the back nine everything thing gets doubled if the teams agree. It's 2 man teams. Let me know what you think? Below are the dots and explanantion.

THE FULL DOT PACKAGE


Hogan: Fairway Hit, green in regulation, par of better - 2 dots

Signature: Closest to the hole, par or better - 1 dot

Greenie: Closest to the hole on par threes - 1 dot

Birdie: 2 dots, if two are made by the same team on the same hole, total 6 dots

Eagle: 4 dots, if two are made by the same team on the same hole, 12 dots
Eagle birdie combination on the same hole: 2 dots for the bird, 4 dots for the eagle, 3 dots extra for a total of 9 dots.


Hole in one: 100 dots (NEEDS TO BE AGREED TO BY BOTH TEAMS BEFORE TEEING OFF OF 2- VERY IMPORTANT)

Grand Greenie: all 4 greenies - 4 dots

Gorilla: Closest to on par fives - 1 dot

Grand Gorilla: all 4 gorillas - 4 dots

Grand Shabaz: all greenies and gorrillas, additional 8 dots

Grand Hogan: All 7 hogans on one side, 7 additional dots. If all 14 are achieved, 7 dots for the back plus an additional 14 dots

Stein: Called up and down - 1 dot - odds can be given or requested.

Auto Stein: If you use a putter off the green like on the fringe instead of using a different club

Three putt: 1 dot for the other team, reverses hogan if applicable (except on par 5's hit in two), reverses signature (except on par 5's hit in two), reverses greenie, reverses gorilla (unless green is hit in two)

Sandy: Up and down for par or better - 2 dots, not up and down for par or better - 1 dot

Seve: par or better from a hazard or out of bounds - 1 dot

Hackey: Triple bogey or more, 1 dot for the other team.

Hack Trick: Three hackeys by the same team in the same round, 1 additional dot for the 3rd hackey, 2 additional dots for the 4th hack, 4 additional dots for the 5th hack, 8 dots, 16 dots....

Cart path on 5: 2 dots if par or better, cannot be reversed by three putts

Appearance: 1 dot, team that wins the prior hole needs to achieve par or better on the next hole. If so they earn a dot, if not it is a reverse appearance and the other team earns the dot. You can lose a hole and earn the appearance (say the other team birdies or pars with a stroke). You can win a hole and lose an appearance (say you win a hole with a bogey). The appearance cannot be won with a net par.

Optional Dots: Birdie Bonus: Sometimes we play an additional 5 dots for birdies on 8 and 16 (or other holes). Can be dangerous, because the original 2 dots for birdies are still alive, and 2 birdies pays three on these bonuses.

That's too much thinking and work for me. I have enough trouble making sure to write down my fairways and GIRs on each hole.

I thought so too, but when you start playing it really isnt....you adjust one guy on each team to keep track of the dots.

Yeah, I don't quite buy it either, and I'd never want to be the guy in charge of the dots.

But hey, the most complex game I play is a nassau, so what would I know? Played Bingo Bango Bongo a time or two. Never really did care for a lot of the junk kinds of bets out there, particularly when they're this complex.

Why not just play 20/hole low ball carry over, and 20/hole combined score carry over?.. It's a lot easier.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

We play 10-10-10 nassau and 5 junk.But we also have reverse junk such as if you get the greenie on par 3 you must make par or you reverse.Also 4 putt is reverse as is double par or worse.

    • 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.
