1- Current HI on GG is 16.4, I would love to get down to 12ish.

I plan to do this by identifying where I lose the most shots with more consideration of GG stats as well as some spreadsheets I use, and working on that.

2016, my worst area was mid-approach shots for total shots lost, while my highest average lost was driver. Driver causes me a lot of penalties from OB. I would love for my average shots gained on driver to match my approach shots.

I hope to reduce that by more video work of what Im doing wrong by being more active in my swing thread.

2-This past winter was the first one in my golfing "career". I was surprised by how much catch up is involved in your first few weeks back in April/May. I plan to avoid this mess by doing mirror work and indoor golf dome more frequently than last year. (I went to the golf dome once last winter)

3-Stop over-thinking putts, I was actually better at putting when I first started because I didnt know enough to over-think things. I dont really intend to practise putting, but I want to approach them with a new routine I've been practising.

4-Listen to my body to avoid injury, lost 1.5 months of golf last year by pushing it at one point resulting in wrist bone/tendon problems.

 

1-GG HI got down to 14.3, wanted something in the 12s. Less penalties from driver and better putting gets me there. (more details will go into swing thread)

  • Currently when comparing to a 10.0 HI on GG...
    • Avg gain .67 strokes driving
    • Avg. gain .39 strokes approach
    • Avg lose 2.59 strokes short game
    • Avg lose 4.38 strokes putting

2-More winter practise helped, I felt I didnt waste the 1st few weeks back. I was doing mirror work and golf dome work with foot spray.

3-Overall, my putting still sucks.

4-I know some injuries can be random, but would say I didnt "push" it this year with more offdays, and I didnt get injured once.

Unintentional goal i consider an improvement.... Gained distance on my swing by about 2 clubs.

My goal was to break 80 for 2016 and 2017, and maybe even 2015. I finally did it this summer a month or so before my first kid was born. Since then, I've had some rounds as low as 81-82, and frankly left a few putts on the table. I've had a few terrible rounds too, but I got over the mental block, and now don't get so worn down about a bad round. I think my next best round is going to be a 77 or a 76. It's nice to have things looking up!

My goal this year was to reach single figures (e.g. 8.9) and hit some firsts along the way:

- break 80 again, and on some other courses

- hit some eagles

- 9 holes/18 holes at par

- 9/18 break par

The plan was to reroute my swing plane, maximise my distance and strengthen my chipping/scrambling game.

 

So not bad, got from 12 to 8.0

- broke 80 again bunch of times (7), twice on new courses.

- no eagles! Had about 6/7 opportunities from 20-30 feet but couldn't get one to drop.

 - 9 holes at par twice and broke par for 9 holes

 - not that close to breaking par overall (77 lowest) but played 13 holes in a round at par or better so making progress.

Swing plane I improved definitely in summer but have since slipped back a little. 

Really solid, enjoyable year.

    • 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.
