BTW, appreciate you warning everyone about woes of turning 50... nose hair explosion and all. Lol.! Right around the corner for me so I got that to look forward to... 😆

Don't forget ear hair. Maybe @ChetlovesMer doesn't have that problem?

Ugh, nope. I have that problem too. Turning 50 was like a cruel trick of nature. Nose hair, Ear hair, even hair growing on my nose. Not to mention can't read without reading glasses. That was another curve ball. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I enjoyed the company of @Bonvivant as my cart mate on Sunday at Whispering Woods. His knowledge of golf history, sunny disposition, and positive attitude in the face of adversity was uplifting. 

He also had the chore of keeping me from breaking etiquette with where I happened to park the cart.  On one hole I made a last minute move to steer the cart so that the windshield blocked the near-gale force winds and sideways rain. @iacas did not like that as the tires were on the grass instead of asphalt.

It was my pleasure Carl. There are far too many people with a sullen attitude, especially when on the course and I was happy to share a cart with someone that could smile, even after a poor shot, gale force winds, or torrential downpour.

Just stay on the paths near greens and tees and the whole hole on par threes.

Then the super won’t be mad. 😡

At my age, I can grow my nose hair to look like that in about an hour... maybe 2 tops. 

I'd like to thank @CarlSpackler for finding a silver lining in growing older.

Sorry. I'm letting my ear hair grow out too. 🤣

This compliment goes out to @iacas and @Bonvivant.

I really enjoyed the back and forth discussion you two had in this thread: 

 

I think @Bonvivant was arguing uphill, but it was a great discussion. Nice job, you two. 

It's great when folks can have a discussion without getting pissy. ... Seems to be a dying art these days.

Thanks @ChetlovesMer. I've just got wonky opinions though. Things like walking only unless medically unable, enforcement of 3.5 hour pace, etc. etc. I know that I am in the minority on a lot of things and know that there are plenty of issues with my opinions, so I try to not get mad about it ever.

I guess I should add a compliment myself. To @iacas for always making me think about things, and pushing back. Cheers!

Those aren't the same kind of opinions as "marketing is irrelevant" or whatever some of your sub-opinions were in the ball debate. 🙂

I'm just glad you take it as banter or keep in mind that we're disagreeing about f***ing GOLF, not something that actually matters. Plus, arguing can be FUN. 😄

I grew up with a guy that would argue with a telephone phone and win.   With my wife, I've learned to just roll my eyes.   She said it helps to straighten my back.   I must have the straightest back of anybody I know!   :-D

I wasn't saying it was irrelevant, just responding to the comment that "every commercial has a pro" (or multiple), when I've seen plenty that just have some guy instead of a big name.

I've gotten much better about it in my year or so here. And I definitely agree that arguing can be fun. That's how we form, shape, and change opinions over time. If everyone sat around in echo-chambers then they wouldn't be doing themselves any good.

I'd like to give a shout out to @boogielicious and @ncates00 for providing feedback in my swing thread to try and help me improve.

Also, shoutout to @Antneye for having great taste in hockey teams.

And one last shoutout to @Slice of Life, @ChetlovesMer, and @saevel25 who are super cool folks who I'm glad I got to meet in person and become friends with at the August outing.

And you've seen plenty with the big names in them, too. C'mon.

You're wrong, and let me tell you in obnoxious multi-quoting fashion why… 😉

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
