Tiger seems to be reading this forum. He replied to the [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/t/64709/why-isnt-tiger-in-more-events]"Why isn't Tiger in more events?"-thread[/URL] by committing to the [URL=http://www.pgatour.com/tourreport/2013/02/12/tiger-commits-to-the-honda-classic.html]three next tournaments[/URL] on the PGA Tour. World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship - Feb 20 - 24 The Honda Classic - Feb 28 - Mar 3 World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship on Tuesday - Mar 7 - 10 Thought it was worth a thread, Tiger being who he is.

It's good for golf when Tiger is playing, getting the big media to cover the events more.

I'm not sure what contract length he has with Nike currently (I think last one expired in 2011) but I'd guess he's feeling some heat with Nike signing Rory.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Why is that a question?

He's already won a lot more PGA Tour events this year than almost everyone else will. :)

The Honda tried to make a media event of Tiger's commitment today although it was a foregone conclusion.  I skipped the press conference today, but last year it was a major freakin deal.  I almost went only to get the first hand account for my Trappers, but I had something else going on.

Any tournament that scores Tiger plain scores and can pick up 30% across the board. I see him really trying to win at the Honda because it is Jack's course and he finished 2nd to Rory last year.  He really had a great Sunday last year in the March breeze.

I wish he would play more tournaments but it's good to see that he's committed to three in a row.

im conflicted...i love tiger more than anyone else on the face of the earth, but at the same time i like the mystique of him not playing that much, it makes the tournaments that he does play that much more special.

GOOOO TIGER!!!!!

    • Wordle 1,013 4/6* ⬛🟦🟦⬛⬛ ⬛🟦⬛🟦🟦 🟧⬛🟧🟧🟧 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 par is good after a double bogey yesterday.
    • 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.
