Whatever Bryson is doing is working for him. I didn’t recognize him at first. 

It'll be interesting to see him on a wide-open course where he can go for 400 yards.  Not sure when that is, but this week's Harbor Town is not that course.

Yea, he has to manage his game across the bag because of his increased swing speed.

He did a pretty good job of that last week by leading the field in strokes gained tee to green.  Around the green and putting wasn't great though.

Fair play to him. He built muscle and increased speed as a result. Clever move and you'll see more players follow suit. Anyone who bulks fast will always gain a bit of fat, they can lose that later

I'm waiting to see Jim Furyk bulk up.

So you don’t like Bryson for whatever reason. You realize you’re responding in the same manner that Tiger haters do whenever Tiger pops up in the news, right?

There's no reason to hate Tiger. OTOH, Bryson is a tool.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I always love Bryson DeChambeau threads. No matter the topic you always get:

  • Slow play comments ... check
  • Hat comments ... check
  • Clever ways to tweak his name. i.e. Douche Chambeau etc ... check

Now we gotta add fat jokes. 

AND ... thanks to @Vinsk grammar policing as well. 

I love it.

See, I told you; He's good for the game.

I am definitely, and unabashedly, fat-shaming DeChamblows...

I think he ate all his calculators.

I have not seen any real discussion of this one here yet, so I am bringing it up gingerly again.  I'm not even leveling an accusation, because I have no grounds.  This is just a question (see me be careful?).

Is there any form of steroid testing protocol for the PGA?

This is one of the sillier questions I've seen in a while. Of course there is. The PGA Tour's Anti-Doping Manual is 50 pages long.

The PDF is in that USGA link, BTW.

Yes it is.  To "bulk up" as a goal, gaining belly fat is part of the deal.  Most people will decide to shed it later, and can do so with much less difficulty than most of us.

Man, I really don't think it's much of a beer belly. The transformation has been pretty crazy to say the least. Here's a before and after. (FYI I don't know when the before was taken, but I do know the after was taken off his Instagram less than a month ago.)

If there is anyone that gained a ton of muscle that I don’t think is on steroids, Bryson would be it.   
 

that dude is a f***in nut. I don’t think he has any issue committing 6 hours a day to working out. He’s just that type of guy.

    • 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.
