I may have to move back to CA since there is WAY less competition in the west.

I'm interested to see the actual dates, I'm looking at going to Vegas for a weekend there is a charity outing that I'd like to get to and I'm not ready for playing in the Cup but I'm thinking I might stop in and catch some of the action - if it overlaps. 

Players play, tough players win!

Hmmm, are spectators allowed?  I won't qualify for it at this point, and that realization adds motivation for me to get to single digits in the next 18 months so I can try to qualify for the 2021 event.

On the bright side, in the meantime it would appear I've definitely managed to sandbag my handicap appropriately. I play in a weekly golf league through work and haven't had time for any other golf (or really even time to warm up since tee times start at 4), so I'm currently sitting pretty at a 9-hole handicap of 4.24. Maybe an 8.5 handicap for me would be enough for me to contribute to the inevitable dominating victory for red this year?

Anything we can do to help?

Not really, no. We're waiting on the course to reply to our email(s).

I believe we're looking at October 24-26.

I'd anticipate that the Committee would have the authority to adjust such a blatantly bogus handicap to something more appropriate, like scratch.:whistle:

Maybe we can come up with a special badge for @Pretzel. Something that looks like this:

I'd be happy to audit Pretzel's handicap in person. I'm sure that would satisfy everybody.

My league is on Tuesday nights, and today I was 2 under through 3 holes. I had to quickly backtrack and keep that handicap nice and high though, so I made sure to play 4 over for the last 6 to get back to +2. Really though I've just been struggling, for some reason the last month or so I have been struggling to stop lifting out of shots so I'll absolutely duff one now and again while catching most shots 1-2 grooves thin. Maybe I need to start taping a bowling ball to my head so I can't lift up 😁

About all @DeadMan would see is me hitting a 4-iron about knee high when I'm trying to go for the green in two on par 5's.

I intend to post an update to this later tonight or tomorrow.

We're also going to slightly expand the range of eligibility up to those with a handicap index of 12.x. Your odds of being chosen are lower than that of someone with a 3.4 index or whatever, but they're not 0.

Add the badge to your profile if you'd like to be considered for the Newport Cup, and subscribe to this topic.

October 24-26 are the competition dates.

    • 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.
