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!

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
