Ditto.  Tristan, what is the date in March?  That will dictate if I can make it or not.  The course looks amazing.

Anyways, I think that if we could get the Classic Club for that price, that'd be the way to go. It's an AMAZING course. In fact, it was built for the Bob Hope (now Humana Challenge), although it has been moved now.

Here is their site for those interested in checking it out:

Let me know what you guys think.

That place looks gorgeous!  Man, I'd love to play there.  We're playing the black tees right?

Playin' it forward here....Pretty long track for a hacker like myself, but as I said, I cant pass up the oppurtunity to pay that nice a course on the cheap.

No worries ... I was being 100% facetious. :)

Don't think I'd really enjoy the torture that a 75.8 rated course would hand me.

March? I don't know if I'm invited or not, but that'll be tough. We may have a 5SK school then, I might be in Florida (if I decide to go on with my PGA status), etc.

Nah, Tristan was only saying (I think) that the people he met were playing their tournament in March, then a couple people questioned him and I also "fanned the fire" simply because I already know that the previously agreed upon date (April 6/7) is no good for me.  (Being selfish here, shhhh!)

And of course you are invited.  I mean, come on ... we are guests IN YOUR CORN!

I just went back and re-read Tristan's post.  I thought he was saying we would have to play in March to get that rate.  My bust... Anyway... April 6/7th is fine for me still.  I'd definitely love to play the Classic Club.  Hell, I'll play anywhere though.  Lets just pick something so that we can start rallying guys and getting peeps signed up for the date.

Sorry for not being clear... the church's tournament is in March... I'd still be looking to do ours in April. The 6th/7th is what I can do personally as the next three weekends I know that I cannot get off of work. I'm also open to doing this on a weekday instead, although I'm not sure how that would work for anybody else (it may also be cheaper).

Erik, obviously you are invited; it would be awesome to have you out here.

I think Classic Club would be a great course for us to play and for the guys driving in it's pretty damn easy to get to as it's right off of the freeway (I-10). The only problem at this course is that it has a tendency to be a bit windy (that's the reason the Humana stopped playing there).

Another good option for us would be SilverRock, although I'm not sure the costs there. However, I do know one of the pros over there so he may be able to make something work. I'll make a few phone calls tomorrow and see whats going on... For SilverRock I think we'd have to have at least 13 people to do an advanced booking for a tournament... not sure about Classic Club, but I will find out about that tomorrow. Last time we only ended up with 10, so we need to get a few more guys. I might have a buddy who would play, and if we don't loose GolfingDad and Erik comes that'll put us at 12. For the hell of it, I'll call Desert Willow as well and get an idea from them as well.

Here are the websites for the courses I'll check out so you guys can take a look, let me know what you think.

Sounds good to me.  Let me know what course you guys are interested in and I'll reach out to them about working something out.

Erik, maybe you can arrange a 5SK instructor school out west around the same time

Probably negatory on that one. Y'all do realize that's right around the Masters isn't it?

Never mind. Masters is from 11-14.

So I talked with Classic Club and for them, they'd only have the 7th available before 11am... Also it'd be their standard rate, which at that time is $139, but that would include a $15 voucher for lunch and a $10 voucher for the pro shop (as long as we have 13 or more people). I think the church has the $65 rate because they are all desert residents (resident rate is $65). Obviously that is too pricey but I still think this is the best choice if Mike can negotiate a good rate with them in exchange for reviews or something.

The other courses are all good choices as well, so look at them and post what you'd like so Mike can reach out to them.

Mike, you can use my status in the PGA as well.

    • 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.
