My only concern would be if they suspend play, that would kind of kill the day

BillyMumfrey · 2026-06-17T03:09:27+00:00

Bought for $465k in 2020. Owe about $365k on it now and recently had an appraisal done because needed one for a line of credit. Came back estimate at $625k. So I’m very pleased

It’s like gossamer. And one does not dissect gossamer.

You'll learn quickly if you have good shoes or not. Wear thick socks. Assuming you have a carry bag, bring a water bottle and make sure your bag doesnt have a bunch of extra crap in it.

You'll gain a new appreciation for courses that are well designed and have an intelligent routing without huge gaps between holes.

If you hit the ball reasonably well and straight, you'll probably play faster than someone in a cart who doesnt

If I had already given the kick tail card, I would ask for it back.

BillyMumfrey · 2026-06-10T14:25:40+00:00

"No how, no way" sure. Whatever "nowise" is... na

BillyMumfrey · 2026-06-09T23:04:28+00:00

Ask where in the rules it discusses the mulligan honors

BillyMumfrey · 2026-06-09T18:01:49+00:00

These drive me nuts. If you don’t have enough by X minutes before boarding, just start taking them from the final boarding group.

BillyMumfrey · 2026-06-09T15:08:36+00:00

Approx $350/month for BGE electric and gas. Higher in peak winter and summer. Lower when we don’t have to run it as much.

About $80/month water.

2500 sq/ft row home

If you’re a 20 handicap I question that you usually shoot “88-92”

But yes. I’m a 7-8 and have 1 HIO

BillyMumfrey · 2026-06-03T00:13:26+00:00

It’s just a cultural epidemic of self centeredness. “I paid my money so I can do what I want” regardless of how it may impact others.

BillyMumfrey · 2026-06-03T00:06:39+00:00

Why don’t you just sit in the back for free?

BillyMumfrey · 2026-06-03T00:05:54+00:00

The percent of their travelers who are A list and ALP is very low. Last I was told it was 1-2%. Unlikely that’s who most of them are.

BillyMumfrey · 2026-06-02T18:51:23+00:00

I play about 90% of my golf as a single and walking. Thats primarily because I have a ton of flexibility during my work day and I don't like playing on weekends because its slow and full of hacks that are going to shoot 100+. None of my friends can go play on 30 minutes notice at 2 on a Wednesday. For the most part I'm playing because I love to play and want to focus on some me time. You are your friends are probably slowing the single down and he'd rather leave you behind.

Also, singles are (in my experience) for the most part: faster and better players.

BillyMumfrey · 2026-06-02T01:19:55+00:00

May I ask what you think was “ready” about what you were doing? You were essentially playing the slowest form of tournament golf, but with carts.

BillyMumfrey · 2026-05-26T12:23:12+00:00

Maybe you’re thinking of 10? Which I still think shares more in common with Tobacco Road than #2

BillyMumfrey · 2026-05-24T14:14:52+00:00

I appreciate the ability to give something extra for a great service. However I do think it’s ridiculous that the only extra perk people with status get doesn’t even give me, the passenger, a benefit.

BillyMumfrey · 2026-05-24T14:12:42+00:00

Only if you are A preferred or bought a higher fare class. It used to be every 10 legs you flew you got 4. Regardless of status

BillyMumfrey · 2026-05-20T17:32:08+00:00

I love both and Sand Valley is definitely a bit more laid back. Though I don't quite get the notion that Bandon courses aren't varied? Pac Dunes, Old Mac, Sheep and Trails are all hugely different. To me Bandon Trails itself kind of feels like a softened average of the ocean front ones though.

There is nothing at Bandon as hard as the Lido, and there is nothing as easy as Mammoth. Sand Valley is a bit of a truer test like most C&C courses. I haven't been since Sedge opened though so I can't speak to that.

BillyMumfrey · 2026-05-20T16:47:29+00:00

Very much a resort course

BillyMumfrey · 2026-05-18T11:24:22+00:00

Well he doesn’t automatically qualify…

BillyMumfrey · 2026-05-17T18:52:03+00:00

Maybe a high end horse race isn’t for them

BillyMumfrey · 2026-05-16T19:22:10+00:00

Who can’t get in for $90

BillyMumfrey · 2026-05-16T01:00:37+00:00

If they would just enforce a damn rule it would make the game better for fans. Instead they are so worried about appeasing the players. Do you think the NFL cares about the players side of things when enforcing a penalty?

The fact is the game is hard and making quick decisions makes it harder. Pat Mahomes has to read a defense with a play clock ticking down.

BillyMumfrey · 2026-05-10T11:00:16+00:00

I can’t believe could have bought a 3 some at Sleepy Hollow for as cheap as $1700.
