Would you rather shoot a 67 the 1st day of Spring 2020 or win a $1000 lottery the same day while shooting a 95?

Not even close.  Shoot 67.  It would be my personal best, and likely never to be repeated, let alone beat.

Shooting 67 would require supernatural intervention.  It would not be me shooting a 67. What good is that? I'll take the money and keep working on my own game.

If I ever shot a 95, my clubs would be in pieces (I might take a 95 at Augusta though) and $1000 isn't nearly enough to buy new ones. I'll take the 67.  Add another 0 to the cash and I might consider it.

A 95 is an average day at the park for a hacker like me. I'll take the $1000.

I'll happily take the 67, which is better than my personal best by 4 and would also be on a much harder course (rating 72 or greater you said), whereas my 71 was on a par 70 rated 69. Yes, the $1000 could buy me a different memory, like playing Pebble (it's in my neck of woods so no additional travel expense really), but as they say: "you can't buy game", so it's unlikely I could buy something equivalent (say a hole in one on #7 at Pebble?).  Even if that 67 is a fluke to never be repeated. It's still be a cool story for a long time. :beer:

Easy.  The experience of having a new career low is easily worth $1000.  Hell, I'd take a 69 over the money

Almost jinxed myself.  Was tracking towards 69 before fading at the end.  But I was playing from winter tee boxes and it wasn't the first day of the season so it wouldn't have counted anyway.

They raised them, but not by a lot. Priv. I, which is what I got went from $450 to $475. 

Priv II went from $850 to $950. Given how well they keep up the courses, I think I am going to pass and look for a better option. There are too many private courses offering great deals. They may not be as close, but they aren't THAT much further.

Fancy man.

I've heard about some of those deals, but they still aren't in my limited golf budget.

Be curious to learn where you end up.

Would you rather play golf with Santa Claus at the North Pole and receive the present of 2 holes-in-one in that round or play golf with Tiger Woods and have him beat you by 35 strokes while looking away from his drained putt on 18 to shake your hand?

I'm going with the TWoods scenario. Getting beat by 35 playing against Woods would be a better conversation piece. 

Also, I have been told that pace of play at the North Pole is ridiculously slow when Santa is playinh. 

Besides, I already have some hios.

I'd not want to golf in the cold weather regardless of my partner.   I'll take the round with Tiger and hopefully it's warm!

I’ll take Santa because that’s a much better story than playing with someone who actually exists.

Also @Double Mocha Man stop breaking the rules. Post your answer before commenting on others.

I choose Santa because I've never made a hole-in-one in two feet of snow.  And because I don't want a lump of bituminous coal in my stocking next year.

Santa is now trending up.

Heck, as much as I love Tiger, I’ll take playing with Santa over getting whooped by Tiger. With two holes in one, I could win.

I’ve never had a hole in one, so I’ll take Santa!

    • 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.
