Hey guys, didn't want to post this to the main golf talk thread, but I am looking for people to play golf with in the Downriver / Monroe area of Michigan.  I want to enter a two person scramble tomorrow morning at Sandy Creek but my partner backed out.  Anyone interested?

Hi Mark,

I just joined this group so I apologize for the late reply.

I'm not down in that part of the state very often, but if you or any of the Michigan Group members ever venture up into my neck of the woods, we should plan an outing for 2015. I'm in the Cadillac/Traverse City area.

I'm not much in the way of organizing these things, but we could always pick a course in the middle of the state should the group decide to put something together.

Hey Jon,

I've been looking to put together a Northern Michigan outing one Summer with some friends and/or fellow MI golfers.  I will see if I can put something together this year.

Nice. If you put something together and need an extra player (and don't mind playing with high capper), please keep me in mind.

Have you played up here in the past? If so, where?

I'm a member at Caberfae Peaks about 15 miles outside of Cadillac. The have lodging and a nine hole course. It's not a 5 star resort by any stretch of the imagination, but I've played a few other courses in the area and I prefer this course over all but maybe two of the others. The fact that I get to play unlimited golf all season for $100 makes it easy to appreciate.

I've played Crystal Mountain a few times, that's it for Up North courses for me. Beautiful part of the state, so many courses I want to play up there. If I put something together you'll be first on the list. Any mid-Michigan courses you could think of that are centrally located for us Detroit area folks to meet?

Crystal Mountain is only 20 minutes down M115 from my house. I'm embarrassed to say I've never played either of their courses. The kids used to snowboard at Crystal and I have a nephew who works there. That course and resort are very nice from what I understand. They hold a Michigan LPGA event there.

As far as middle of the state, what do you think about Grand Rapids? Is that much of a drive for you? My two sons go to school/live down there and have played a few of the courses. They tell me the course at GVSU - The Meadows - is pretty nice.

Yeah, GR is a good location for me, about a 2.5 hour drive, not bad.

    • Wordle 1,013 4/6* ⬛🟦🟦⬛⬛ ⬛🟦⬛🟦🟦 🟧⬛🟧🟧🟧 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 par is good after a double bogey yesterday.
    • 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.
