I hate to start this up again but I am looking at this years membership prices and contemplating joining after the changes....explain that later.

How much jack did you spend on golf paraphernalia and golf related activities this year... I am still calculating..... My guess is round $2000

$2,500 this year not including soft costs like transportation to/from, food, beverages, etc...  I am a public course player with a work schedule that allows me to play some mid-week plus I am a walker so my costs for the 110 rounds in 2013 is on the low side.  A great side benefit to my work is occasionally I get to be part of the annual company golf trip (paid for by the company).  2013 was Scotland.  Did I mention I played the Old Course?

I revamped a good portion of my golf bag this year - new irons, new driver, new shoes, and a new bag. That alone ran me about 1500$. Then add on roughly 75 rounds I played this summer and I'm sitting at about 3500-4000. For reference, I play primarily public and semi-private courses in Minnesota.

In the Bag:
:titleist: 913 D3 - 9.5* - Diamana Stiff 62g
:mizuno: MP 64s 3-PW - DGS300
:cleveland: CG12 52* & 56*

Ugh.....

Rough guess.  120 rounds at about $40 per round average.  1.5 balls per round is about 15 dozen balls.  10 gloves.  One pair of shoes.  No big clubs, bags, or other big expenditures though....

......so not including food/drink or transportation (and we DON'T want to go there......!), let's call it somewhere in the $6k neighborhood.

In David's bag....

Driver: Titleist 910 D-3;  9.5* Diamana Kai'li
3-Wood: Titleist 910F;  15* Diamana Kai'li
Hybrids: Titleist 910H 19* and 21* Diamana Kai'li
Irons: Titleist 695cb 5-Pw

Wedges: Scratch 51-11 TNC grind, Vokey SM-5's;  56-14 F grind and 60-11 K grind
Putter: Scotty Cameron Kombi S
Ball: ProV1

A lot, I mean a lot!

And I'm with Aveo, I love to play golf.  And I don't have a boat, four-wheeler's, don't hunt or fish.  I play golf, as much as I can, so all my disposable income is on golf, and my lovely fiancee likes to play as much as me, so all our trips revolve around golf. :dance:

Joined new Country Club which cost a lot for an initiation fee and dues (at Old Country Club until September and then the rest of the year at new course).

Bought new Mizuno MP-4 Irons, new Titleist driver, new Titleist wedges, new bag.  $2200 putter is only thing not replaced, although I tried a Ghost Spider Putter and hated it.

Went to Palm Springs for a guys golf trip in January spent $1,200 for entire package.  Went to Southport NC at beginning of March for a long weekend spent about $250 on golf, went to Myrtle Beach at the end of March, spent about $300 for golf.  Spent $1000 to play just golf on a trip to Hawaii, with a three day stop in San Diego and a 2 day stop in Palm Springs in April (played 10 rounds over the 11 days).  Spent $750 on a trip to Pinehurst, including playing No. 2 (which was $300).  Played in the Baltimore Country Club member-Guest, spent $550 just on entry fee. Took November Trip to Florida, spent another $375 just on golf.

Add in golf balls, new shirts, shorts, etc., probably close to $10,000-12,000.  OUCH!

Too much that's for sure. The beer was nearly as much as the golf. I use GolfNow and my home course is cheap but still it gets expensive. In the summer I was playing nearly every day. I'd guess I spent $300 a week with the beer.

Thanks.  LOL

Yeah it was a crazy year for golf.  First lady I've been involved with who loved to play golf and when she couldn't play, didn't care if did. She won an incentive trip to Hawaii last April, we're going to Cancun this April, but last April we flew to San Diego as a layover to Hawaii.

Day 1 - Played Morgan Run Resort & Golf Club

Day 2 - Played Salt Creek Golf Course

Day 3 - Played Torrey Pines North and South (her suggestion to play 36 holes)

Day 4 - Played Plantation Course at Kapalua (on the day we landed in Maui, pick up car and drove to course)

Day 5 - Played Dunes at Maui Lani

Day 6 - Took A Break

Day 7 - Played Wailea Gold

Day 8 - Played Pukalani Country Club before catching our flight out in the late afternoon (her suggestion to play before we left)

Day 9 - Played Indian Wells Country Club and Desert Falls CC in Palm Springs (her suggestion to drive to Palm Springs to play)

Day 10 - Flew Home to Virginia

Geez Dave that is a lot of beer... Why didn't you get to play with Graeme?

I will take the fifth on the OP's question.   All I can say is that whatever I spent on golf, I had to multiply it by 2 to account for my wife's obsession with golf :beer: .

    • 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.
