Didn't know if I could mention it by name, but we know who. Many people share this experience.They promise a check instead of credit to use. Send in my clubs 2 months ago. They were accepted and approved 6 weeks ago. I emailed about the check 2 weeks ago. "Oh, it's on the way tomorrow".  I will call tomorrow.  However, they either have a cash flow problem, or they wait to sell your clubs before paying you out.  Said to see because the umbrella companies are awesome. Just be honest and tell me it may take two months

So how did the call go?

Your posts are so light on details that it is hard to really make any sort of comment.  Maybe wait until the entire process has reached an end and report on the results.

Must be trolling or lacking a basic concept of how to communicate.  I haven't the faintest idea which site you are referring to.

So list things on eBay. You don't have to use the PGA Value Guide.

And…

Quote

3balls.com, LLC, is a leading online direct retailer and eBay Powerseller of used and like-new golf equipment. 3balls.com, Inc. is responsible for spearheading the development and on-going maintainance of the PGA Value Guide in collaberation with PGA.com.

Again, you don't have to use it.

Are you committed to telling us if/when the check does arrive or otherwise advising TST as to the final resolution?

Good points. To find the real current value of a club, look at auction listings on eBay. Follow the listing for your exact club and condition, and see what they sell for. "Buy It Now" is not accurate and neither are Craigslist postings.

The PGA value guide is pretty useless.

do not some of the retail stores, use the PGA guide to establish trade in prices? Even EBAY a retailer I have purchased from (Mr. Topes), will buy old clubs. Not sure what they use as a guide.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
