About a year and half ago I played at Mount Woodson. It's a par 70 with an executive feel, set amongst finger canyons just outside of San Diego. The cart path is more like a roller coaster ride that comes complete with speed bumps and long wooden winding bridges that deliver you to the next tee. I lost 16 balls.

Probably lost 6 or 7 the first time I played, wouldn't be more than 5 since. I haven't played any courses with a lot of water or any canyons that balls might get lost in though. These days I only usually have 4 or 5 balls in my bag so I'd have to give up after that.

First time playing a Palmer course across the street from where I work, with the boss, I could not hit my driver to save my life and took 13 penalties; all lost balls if I remember correctly. I finally starting hitting straight on 16. If it wasn't for the penalties I would have scored to my handicap. oh well.

We all lost many when we first took up the game.



I played last Tuesday with my father and lost 3 balls during the round....all on the same water hazard!!!!!

I hit a large drive on a par 4....went through the fairway and into the hazard. Took a drop and stiffed a nine iron to three feet and made the putt.

Next hole was a par 3 that skirted the same hazard. There was a front pin placement that tempted me....wind was back into my face. I couldn't resist to urge to hit a high iron into the wind and let drop dead on the front pin. All was looking grand unitl it hit the bank and sucked back into the hazard. My dumb arse tees up another and tries again.....same stick.....same result.


We got a few laughs outa that.

3 brand new Bridgestone B330 RX balls lost in two holes. Plus a very large score that helped him whip me by 11 strokes.

With your handicap?? Ouch.

The most I lost, after dropping my handicap to below 15, was 5 in a single round. Lost my swing, lost 5 balls, and lost my sanity.

a friend of mine that i hadn't got a chance to play golf with in literally years called me up and declared, by god, he was going to play some golf, he'd been wanting to and wanting to for months, and he was REALLY gonna do it, regardless of if his wife was pissed at him for it.

four holes in, she calls him bitching him out. he slinks off behind a tree and talks for another minute or so, comes back with a real hang-dog look on his face and says he needs to head out. i shook my head and told him "you may've only lost two balls today, but they were the important ones."

    • 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.
