Not really, because unless you know "those people" you have no way of knowing if they fall into the category of needing, or not needing, assistance.  It's the people making assumptions based on minimal facts that cause them to have this bad image of others.

Why don't people just relax and worry about themselves, live and let live, not assume they know better, and just carry on with their day?  Basically picking on mefree here ... what is the entire point of this thread?  To start a flame war against people WE THINK may not be handicapped and are using handicap placards anyway?  Why?  We don't know them.  We don't know they aren't handicap.  And to top it off, we do know that they aren't bothering us.

And on the flip side, if they, in fact, are not handicap, then again, what's the point of the thread?  They're a$$holes, and 100% of people who aren't them would agree with you that they're a$$holes, so why waste everybody's time getting riled up and talking about a$$holes?

Anyways, sorry about the rant (just get a little bummed by the quantity of "lets bitch about other people" threads on here) and off my soapbox now.

I'm glad you said that, it's what I was thinking.If I didn't already play golf and was exposed to only what I've read on these forums sometimes, I'm not sure it would sound like fun.

Judging from the recent replies, I'm guessing GolfingDad and WhySoSerious might agree with me.  In answer to the OP's question, the handicapped guy is the one who lets himself be annoyed by the actions of others on the course.  I'm guilty, and I'm guessing I'm not alone.  I've been known to rant about people who don't rake their bunkers, drive the cart the length of the fairway on 90-degree days, or take 20 minutes looking for a lost ball.  Sadly, I've sometimes let it turn a relaxing round into a stressful day.  It's posts like this that help remind me to let my handicap go.  No telling how many strokes that stress has cost me over the years.  :-)

The OP. Ha ha-Sorry couldnt resist. Not sure why we are talking about this. Mind your own business or report it to the clubhouse if you think theyre doing something wrong.

"The expert golfer has maximum time to make minimal compensations. The poorer player has minimal time to make maximum compensations." - And no, I'm not Mac. Please do not PM me about it. I just think he is a crazy MFer and we could all use a little more crazy sometimes.

I see that just about 1/2 of the threads in this forum are pretty silly.   This one isn't any sillier than others.  In fact, if you go down the list of topics in the forum, it's a laugh and I laugh with them.   It's more fun that way.

I apologize to those who took this the wrong way- I didn't mean it to be a rant or to offend anyone.  I simply thought it was funny that the fastest I saw anyone run to a cart all season was to a cart parked in a very awkward position with a handicap flag.  Our group laughed about it and it didn't ruin anyone's day.  I was thinking others might find it amusing also.

    • 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.
