man, that was fun. Tiger's short game is on point. Tee shots are killing him. Really should just hit the three wood. He hits that thing at least 295 off the tee.

What are our thoughts on this 6th green then, TST team?

Can't say I'm a fan...

I love it, it's awesome. It's unique without being gimmicky. The whole section in the back left behind the pin is a green in itself, then the area where the pin is now is another green, finally everything on the right is another good size green. It's like 3 greens in 1.

So what's the under/over for Woods tomorrow? He tees off around noon. 

Finau did well today, hoping he breaks through soon. Would like to see him in a group with DJ.

Great to see Sam Saunders playing so well, only 1 shot back. I would love to see him win; the best possible story from this week would be a Saunders victory.

I think you'd find some people who would disagree with that one…

Sam isn't liked?

He said the best possible story. Pretty sure a TW victory would top a Sam Saunders victory in the eyes of many.

Saunders winning his 1st tournament would be hands down a better story than Tiger. C'mon, he's the grandson of the most respected & beloved American golfer Arnold Palmer, not even close.

Maybe in your opinion. I'd rather see Tiger win, to be honest.

Saunders winning would be a thing because he's coincidentally the son of a famous golfer. Tiger winning would be the GOAT winning tournaments again. The latter is clearly more significant.

Well...let's just have TW and Saunders in a playoff.   I'd like to see Tiger win but Saunders play well enough to help secure his card.

I think you'd lose that bet. You may be right that it is "not even close" but if so you'd have it backward, surely: Tiger winning would be preferred by the vast majority, I think.

BTW, Tiger played poorly yesterday, but is still only T63. The course is not a pushover. Scoring average was about 72.5 (par 71) yesterday, I think.

I couldn't careless if Saunders wins or finished last.  On the other hand, if Tiger wins, it would be one of the greatest comeback stories in golf.  Especially given how he played last week.  As you said, not even close.

    • 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.
