He likes to put his approach shots within 8' of the pin and get up to the green only to find out he was aiming at the wrong green ;-)

Huh, selective memory. I've forgotten about this until you reminded me. :8)

And get a new putter 

Still never put those damn quarters that fell off back on. Gonna get fitted next year.

You hit that approach pure, man. Just gotta work on your aim next time :-P

If it's any consolation, I lost 11 balls that day :whistle:

We'll pick another course next time. Or we can try and exact revenge. :mad: We should go back and try to kick its butt back.

It was a good course, I'd play it again. They'll be done with the reconstruction and everything by then I hope.

I have to admit I have done this! My whole group did. It was a course in Covington, KY. We thought the hole was a par 3! I mean the green was right there in front of us! Alas, it was a dogleg right par 4.

Yea, in @nevets88's defense, it was a blind approach and all he could see was the flags from where he played. I was at my own ball where I could see both greens.

Unfortunately, he picked the wrong one.

In this age, I should have Google Satellite'd it. There was a group teeing off in front of me, so I rushed it could have let them tee off first

Tweaked the back recently, slept wrong or something, only took a week to recover so got lucky.

Think this looks pretty good  (want a bit more hands in clubhead out from 7-8) but swinging easy. It starts to fall apart adding speed and more club, but should improve with reps.

Trying to freewheel it more, swing without thinking. Tendency still is to pull the arms left or let club head go left too quickly post impact but better turning rate post impact should help. Would like to practice more but preferred range is going to be closed for awhile because rain.

Swing looks great. Nice and fluid. If you're freewheeling, that means the work you've been doing is sticking, which is fantastic. Push draws all day long with that swing.

Minor note: you lined up your camera to the stick but it's not on your toe line.

Thanks. Yeah I keep doing that. Moving away from stick. It's not like it'll hit me in the face. Bad habit.

A lot of variance in the transitions, shallow, steep, ok, ok respectively, but rotating better without thinking about it. Shallow, cover, turn, club head out, more belly to sky, lead wrist flexed a little longer post A7.

Driver swing has always felt "different" than iron swing (not the stuff that makes the driver swing different from irons), but feeling more comfortable in it. Need more supination A7 on, a little steep, but like the general structure better.

Finally, warm weather. Swing thoughts are key #1 head still, tend to move off the ball around A2.5, trying to feel more pressure on inner right foot, right scapula to target. Externally rotate shoulder just before A4, flex lead wrist. Hands in, clubhead out post A7, sync arms and body more together. Talk of ggswingtips on the range.

"Soft" driver. You can see the wood tee popping out of the rubber tee.

This is the most right I've ever hit a 5I without shanking it. Clearly one can see it's towards the toe. Just thought this was funny. Ha ha. Definitely a wonky swing, not all of them can be good obviously. But hey, it wasn't a shank, much rather hit this than a shank any day.

If only the weather were like this all year round. Sigh.

Still fiddling with that left hand regrip that tends to regrip strong, trying to calm it down. Weight on inside of trail foot to keep head from translating back, swaying (Key #1), shallow (#4), don't over hinge, turn, get into ground (#2), lead hip left forward and up (#4), arms straight post A7.

Something's not right about the trail knee, it kicks out right, makes lower body lean towards ball side. Trail foot is banking better, maybe more of that for knee.

    • 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.
