Every time I open The Sand Trap I get a banner on top for Temu. 
Looks like an on-line version of a combination of a Five-And-Below Store and a Chinese Wal-mart. 

Anyone ever order from them? 
Success? ... Failure?

I don't know, except that I've only gotten a lot of spam with Temu in the subject.

Ads are mildly personalized (less so for me with iCloud Private Relay), so you may not be seeing what others are seeing @ChetlovesMer. That's why you also see all those ads for blow-up "friends" and math tutoring books. 🤣

My wife has used it quite a few times - most of it is 2nd / 3rd tier level quality,  they shrink wrap and bundle everything.  You don’t have to worry about boxes.  I’m still trying to figure if anything sporting goods related is really worth it.  Figuring most to be name brand knockoffs and/or outright counterfeit.

Do not tell those that advertise on this site, but I am really really good at ignoring adds.  Never even noticed Temu, but that does not meet they have not been available to see.

I googled them for "reviews" (see below).  Now 1 link does not equate to fact, but BBB rates them 2 out of 5 starts is not a good start.  Also the comment "Many recent complaints about Temu on the BBB website say that items never arrived or, if they did, took weeks or even months to arrive." in the BBB link does not instill confidence.

This showed up on my banner today.

t type circle golf club putter cover golf club head covers golf accessories golf supplies at the lowest price at Temu. Free shipping and returns on Sports & Outdoors on sale at Temu.

In all seriousness, isn't this just a straight up rip off?

There was one of those consumer reports from a news station in Orlando saying that Temu was famous for data stealing.

How interesting. 

You know what they say, if it seems to good to be true. It probably is.

Yes, I have purchased from them.  Several small items at very low price.  Got what I wanted but the amount of emails and texts drove me nuts so I unsubscribed.  Figured if I found something else I wanted on their site, could do same process all over.

Same here. Like a damn spam virus. Maybe just a coincidence but after downloading the app and ordering something my spam phone calls and text messages jumped significantly.

FWIW, I ordered something else from them and the items were delivered yesterday. Great prices on what I purchased. As soon as package arrived, I again deleted the app and unsubscribed yet again.

TEMU is owned by the same company as TikTok. ByteDance. Definitely will share your data.

They also spent so much money on those Super Bowl ads and they were terrible.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
