Hey guys quick rule questions

- If I hit the ball and can't find it what happens?

- If I hit the ball in water what happens?

- And last if I hit the ball onto another course I can play it, right? But if it goes outside the white stakes it means it's out of bounds - then what happens?

Thanks!

If I hit the ball and can't find it what happens?

You get a one stroke penalty, and must hit the ball from the position it was originally at (before you lost it).

If I hit the ball in water what happens?

I believe the same as above, except I'm not sure, you may be able to place a ball near the water and play it from there (with the one stroke penalty). A more experienced player could really help you out with this.

And last if I hit the ball onto another course I can play it, right? But if it goes outside the white stakes it means it's out of bounds - then what happens?

If it goes out of bounds it is the same results as the first question you asked. If you hit it onto another course...I have no idea what you do and I would like to know that as well!!!

- If I hit the ball and can't find it what happens?

RULE 27-1:

If a ball is lost or out of bounds, the player must play a ball, under penalty of one stroke, as nearly as possible to the spot where the original ball was played.
- If I hit the ball in water what happens?

RULE 26-1:

If the ball is in or lost in a water hazard (whether the ball lies in water or not), the player may under penalty of one stroke: a. Play a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played (see rule 20-5); or b. Drop a ball behind the water hazard, keeping the point at which the original ball last crossed the margin of the water hazard directly between the hole and the spot on which the ball is dropped with no limit to how far behind the water hazard the ball may be dropped; or c. As additional option savailable onl if the ball last crossed the margin of a lateral water hazard, drop a ball outside the water hazard within two club-lengths of and not nearer the hole than the point where the original ball last crossed the margin of the water hazard or a point on the opposite margin of the water hazard equidistant from the hole. You can also play the ball in the hazard, but you may not ground your club before making contact with the ball, treat this as a bunker.
- If I hit the ball in water what happens? And last if I hit the ball onto another course I can play it, right? But if it goes outside the white stakes it means it's out of bounds - then what happens??

The first rule answers your question about the out of bounds. I think you mean if the ball is on another hole or fairway you can still play it without any penalty as long as the ball is within the white stakes.

...If I hit the ball and can't find it what happens?...

For my friends and i (since we're not pros and we dont have people on the course spotting our balls on every shot), if a ball cant be found in the rough, i usually just drop another ball in the general area where we think it landed without penalty...im not talking about OB or hazards, just the thick stuff...courses get crowded from time to time and id prefer to stay in a rhythm rather than spend 15 minutes walking back and forth in the thick stuff looking for a ball that obviously didnt go out of bounds. Just my two cents.

yeah, sometimes bad luck happens; just drop another in the general area long as you're not in a tournament.

Usually use NXT Extreme's or HX Hot's

    • 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.
