If you do your initial browse incognito, they aren't as likely to raise the price when you continue to look.   The airlines do the same thing.  If you browse, leave and return to a website like those, they will raise the price.

Huh.  I see the same (higher) price now when I check in an incognito tab.  Oh well, too bad -- it didn't cause me to pay more, it caused me to not buy.  I'm sure they miss my $25 or so a ton.

I think I'll get a belt or two.  Do the hangers work for other brands of belts?  It isn't clear if they connect to something on the buckle that might be only there.  But I really like the idea of not hanging my belts on pants hangers. 

No the belt hangers are devised to work with their specific buckles and belt straps.

Mission Belts (https://missionbelt.com) are 30% off with the code "BFRIDAY30" today and tomorrow. And through Monday, I think.

I got $90 of stuff with free shipping for $63, including some of their hangers which are GREAT.

Thanks for sharing. I wasn't planning on getting anything for Black Friday, you know, so... you suck :-P

A new nylon belt for work and grey leather for my golf attire at 30% off? Yes please.

Ya'll are using an Amazon price history tracker when shopping there right? You can set alarms when a price hits your threshold.

Snell Golf is having a 20% of sale of everything except the 6-dozen packs.  So a single dozen of MTB's are going for $25.59.  Which if you buy 6 dozen is actually lower than the 6-dozen price by a couple of dollars.

Ipad pro from best buy is on my list. I will purchase online and pick up in store the following day. Honestly I would rather pay double than fight a crowd.

I'm with you. I think the whole Black Friday thing is marketing hype. I'd rather pay full retail than stand outside in a line for a discount.

I use old Taylor Made clubs from eBay and golf shops.

GREAT DEAL everyone.

Seriously, like half the price of Pro V1x.

Gave in and bought a new iPad, current iPad is Gen 1, from 2010, and barely running, still good for just reading stuff though. Probably gonna struggle with only 32GB as well, but $250 new is a pretty good price. Have been eyeing a new one for years literally, talk about procrastination. Will look into using it at the range, lol, will need a giant tripod mount.

And the GetSum are already a good deal at full price.  At discount?  If I hadn't ordered six dozen a month ago, I'd stock up on more right now.

Another really nice thing about Snell I've been looking for an excuse to say:  when I was ready to order six dozen (they sell a discounted six-dozen pack), the options on the website were white or yellow, all 72.  I asked if I could get five dozen white, one dozen yellow -- and they sent me just that!  

I know it seems like the simplest thing to do, but I can imagine other companies not making a reasonable accommodation like that.  

The main reason I wanted the dozen yellow are that my course uses white range balls and we have two holes that border the range, and I want to start using yellow balls on those holes ... just in case.

I picked up 6 dozen balls so I should be good for next year, thanks for sharing.


I'm not having much luck on Amazon. Not a lot of stuff I'm interested in is on sale and the stuff that I am interested in is all 100% claimed. Plus it's kind of annoying to browse through everything.

The Menard's near my house had super sales from 6 am to 12.   Traffic was backed up almost 1/2 mile trying to get into a full parking lot.   I think the best plan worked for me, buy online and pick up later.   I'm not much for crowds.

    • Day 11: did mirror work for a while. Worked on the same stuff. 
    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
