I should have paid you to do my taxes. I hate doing that.

Unless you got a whole lot of craziness going on, I doubt we'd need the whole $1200.  Business activities with bad bookkeeping and all bets are off.

I'd went with $25K/$50K and made the stimulus $3600 in three $1200 monthly installments. $50K for couples would be the cut off, as there is still unemployment insurance, and social security available for some folks. 

The country is still in stay home mode for the next 30 days, or so. Getting some stimulus money when things start getting better would seem to help the economy in a more useful way..

Right now, I am staying home 20 or so hours aday, and I hav'nt spent more than $50 dollars in the past 10 days. I ptobably wont spend more than $200 in the next 30 days. Where would I go to spend more?.

There's alot of wasted monies in the this two trillion dollar stimulus plan. More of it should have been ear marked for American families, but as mentioned above, we don't want to get political on this forum. 

This x1000. Cheers!

I hope everyone who needs the money gets a check and ultimately the USA economy is put on the right track.  Spend it on golf clubs, rent or food.  But spend it!

I just came from the "Food Thread" so I'm thinking of spending it on pasta and pecorino.  And pinot grigio.

I was following you guys for a while on the food thread.   I must be sheltered.   You guys are naming food I've never heard!   My family is from SE Missouri and I grew up eating meat, potatoes, sweet tea and pie.   I need to get out more.

Got new irons last year and the plan was to get a new driver and 3w this year as my current ones are both 10+ yrs old. Got a little extra with the stim money.

Titleist TS2 Driver, TS2 3W, SM7 52*, 620 MBs PW-8i. Who else blew their stim money on golf gear?

As for myself, I went on Callaway Pre-Owned and bought an Epic Flash Driver! Been desirous of a Callaway Driver for a while, so I thought I would stimulate the economy in this manner. Tried to run it through a 9 hole shake down cruise, but got chased off the course by rain after 7. Still, couldn't complaint about how the Driv er performed. Today was beautiful, and would have been a great day to take it to the range and really get it dialed in. But, unfortunately, yard work called! Doggone grass is growing like Topsy, and the yard was starting to look like a hayfield! So, that will have to wait.

My league starts this Friday, so I hope I can get some range time with this club before then!

Well, our league opening got moved back a week! We were supposed to get started this Friday, 5/8. This league has a 9AM shotgun start! Weird, but that's what my buddy told me! It's supposed to be in the mid 30's at that time on Friday! With sprinkles of rain or snow! Kind of glad they moved it back to the 15th. Hopefully, it will be warmer. 

Placed an online order at Dick's Sporting Goods yesterday, with front of store pick up. Got an e-mail almost immediately saying my order was ready for pick up. Went there today, called the number and told them I was out front, and a young lady came right out with my stuff. A new pair of Foot Joy golf shoes, and a 2 pack of new gloves. So, this is how I shall stimulate the economy. Though golf!

      USGA/R&A Changes to the Equipment Standards?

      By saevel25 ·

      I've listened to a few podcasts on this. The more I listen, the more I don't have a strong stance for any of the cases. It is a difficult situation for the USGA. They are trying to balance this, but I think I agree that they didn't roll it back enough if they are going to roll it back. I rather them juts roll it back 10% and see how that goes for the next 30 years. I've played golf before hitting it 270 yards. It hasn't been that way since 2002, but golf is golf. I will just adjust my tee box selection and still play.  I do not know if the concerns about golf course selection being at jeopardy for amateur golf. I do not know the number of players that are bombing it versus like 15 years ago. I understand where the PGA Tour player are at. I do not know where college, high school, ect... are at.  If the USGA is continually having a shorter and shorter list of courses the host tournaments at for amateur golf, then maybe it should be rolled back. I also do not know what would happen to golf when golfers suddenly see a 10% drop in distance. How many will just not play?

      USGA/R&A Changes to the Equipment Standards?

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Right - because they basically did next to nothing. They paid lip-service to it, but that's it.  I've been listening to the Hack It Out podcast - I'm about half way through so far. It's quite fun listening to Lou Stagner basically eviscerate all the arguments in favor of rollback using the USGA's own reports. Basically new courses built since 2010 are typically larger footprint than courses in the 1980s, but most of that is other changes - specifically that many new courses are built in housing estates and those need more room, so average size is up, but it has nothing to do with how far the golf ball goes. Fairway, green and tee space is virtually the same and that's where most of the "environmentally responsible" points come in. PGA Tour courses median length in 2023 was less than 7200 yards, so it's not like the PGA Tour is playing ridiculously long golf courses. He also regularly posts on Twitter the spread of lengths of second shots on par 4s and par 5s and they do hit plenty of long shots. Also made the point that distance is basically pegged by how wide you hit it and, per Sasho's data, that is basically all to do with how far you hit it, so if you limit balls by 5%, most tour players have that 5% in the tank, which they can use to get back to where they are today without any additional accuracy issues. Haven't got to integrity yet, but Lou sounds excited to get to that and I think he's quite strongly anti-rollback.

      Maybe I'm officially an old fart. I don't like the shotgun format. I also kind of feel like the announcers are "trying too hard" if that makes sense. In terms of trying too hard, I feel the same way about the teams thing. That really feels forced to me.  Don't get me started on the flash mob.

      Same, ^^^. Just can't get excited to see the same guys, for the most part, play every tournament.  And not seeing Patrick Reed play golf, is a plus.
