Not sure I agree with this. Mind strength is what separates professional athletes in all sports. Those with short memories, greater will, ability to overcome adversity, etc. I believe it's an innate ability. The world is littered with minor leaguers possessing tremendous physical skills. It's typically the mind that determines true greatness.

I was speaking more to what separates tour players from the average golfer (I said average guy in my previous post) or even from a low handicap golfer, it's not the mental game. Golfers place too much importance on mental game.

Would've been interesting to see comparisons of other players' range vs course swings.

@mvmacSo do you believe it's tempo? Should he invest in a Tour Tempo track?

Not only does he try to murder the ball in round, he also appears to be steering it as well at times

Think he is sick of GOLF, the media, the fans, the life. Nothing more important than having a life you enjoy, around people you enjoy. He most likely enjoys his kids, then misses them and the closest person to him at that point is his manager. Who knows what his mom is up too. When or if he wins, who will be there to hug, kiss, congratulate ?

it is the life in a nut shell and he is bored with it, on top of that, he is now fully bald, almost 40... He looks back and wonders, how did I end up here with only a few friends, 2 kids, no wife and so much money, yet, I really do nothing except play golf, manage a huge house I don't need, etc... I just think he knows he made some big mistakes and can't take them back. People expect him to want to be "A GOLF GOD" forever and he may not care about it at all. How many people retire from golf ? If I were him, I would take a couple years off, find love again, don't touch a club and rest...

he doesn't owe anyone person a thing except himself and his kids. Finish out your contracts or redo them for a shorter period. Way too much going on, poor guy....

This is an odd post with how hard he's been working and how excited he was to play well last week.

I kind of thought the same thing.

    • 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.
