The weather is in the 30's for rhe next 5 days. Im definitely not a cold weather guy. I cant remember when the last time i played in 'cold' weather? Maybe its because i dont even have the appropriate cold weather golf gear? Sucks because not playing in the cold really limits my season.

I played two full rounds this weekend, walking, it was heaven, yesterday was really nice, warm and overcast, we had the entire course to ourselves, maybe one other guy out there, 50 degrees! are people nuts? this may just be the last day! we bounced around from course to course (3 nine holes) playing whatever holes we wanted, played until we could not see the ball anymore, winter blues is not here just yet.

We had about that in temperature, but more people. I found myself behind six guys in five carts. Nice guys and let me pass quickly enough, but it was really something watching five carts churn across the fairway. "Winter rules allow it here", they said.

Wow, that is strange, but at least they were out there.

Unbelievably nasty today. Not just cold but blowing snow. Sheriffs had a couple roads closed on the way to work. Hoping to leave work early the next couple days. Low tomorrow supposed to be -17.

Where in NY because I played Bethpage Yellow on Friday and the only other course open was Blue and the round took 5 hours to finish.

Cold today but getting warmer later in the week. My new hybrids were delivered yesterday and I couldn't muster much excitement sitting in my office with my jacket on.

This time of year, I'd much prefer cold than rain.

Besides, looks like your weekend through Tuesday is def playing weather.

Really depends on the melt. Those highs will be for just a few hours in the afternoon. My guess is without anymore snow we are a few weeks away from any golf days.

Had I not had my daughter last weekend I would have rocked some golf. Saturday it is supposed to snow and be cold as hell. So much for hitting the links. Sux that I haven't swung a club in over a month.

Timber Point.

Here's what may be one of the last holes of the season for us, two birdies waiting, and two birdies missed, of course...

I'm hoping it won't snow much this winter.  I did the trifecta of preventing snow. I bought a four wheel drive Jeep in July.  Bought a new snow blower in November and got snow shoes for Christmas! :-P

    • 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.
