I love what the R&A is doing with the grandstands around 18 :

The R&A has a simple way to stop players from 'grandstopping', which you can see on the 18th green at Royal Portrush.

 

Looks like my front lawn.  Thinking I need to get out the mower.

Is there a reason Tiger is not better prepared for The Open?

I think he just doesn’t want to put extra reps on his body. The back is a lot more vulnerable than people think with him and I think he doesn’t want to push it or cause more damage. I’m sure it was hell from 2013-2017 and he doesn’t want to go through that again. I feel if it fails again, he will hang it up and not go through all this surgical process again. We’re on borrowed time with him. Let’s just enjoy it when he plays.

The last group will tee off after 4pm? Are they going to play without lights?

No problem here in the UK at this time of year. Way more hours of daylight than you'll have in the States.

Love it!

Yes, his back is probably not in great shape. He'll be coming in with a possibly dodgy body, he'll be very stiff in the cold and windy weather, and he'll not be tournament sharp. He'll do well to make the cut, which at least will mean after two days the tv will stop obsessing about him.

Watching some of the practice round today, guys are having problems in the wind. They said if they were scoring, there’d be scores in the 80s. The 16th hole looks as tough a par 3 as I’ve ever seen.

Thursday looks like your typical "British Open weather" day. Calling for lots of rain and wind gusts in the 20-25mph range. Looks like the whole week there will be at least a 10mph wind each day. That should keep this from being a birdie fest like we've seen really since the PGA Championship.

Looking better for challenging weather.

Also looks like the morning guys are going to get hit hardest tomorrow. Wind is forecast to let up in the afternoon. That’s good for Tiger, Rose, and Koepka if that forecast pans out.

Is that why John Daly didn't get to use a cart?

Maybe a good excuse. But honestly I just don’t want to see John Daly cruising around on a golf cart with zero chance of contending. I think The Open has tradition that just isn’t worth s*** staining with that sight. Harsh maybe, but just how I see it.

I’m going to pick Rose for the win. He is a machine with the driver, plus his iron play is really good.

It wasn’t good at Pebble lol.

If you are worried about spoilers you need to avoid message boards, twitter, news sites.....yeah just the internet in general

but hey Rory isn't in last place - that's now Duval, but I wasn't watching, how in the heck did he do that?

Players play, tough players win!

    • 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.
