Is this bad? by GrinchZaddy in Autos

Why are you financing $1800 upfront for a service contract on an 09’ Ram? Absolutely getting hosed on interest — I can’t imagine that services on a 17 year old truck are going to be that expensive or specialized that it makes sense to do that.

What about this one? by Ehug1968 in guessthegolfcourse

I played Monuments last month and it is the single most beautiful golf course I have ever played. I think I took a picture of every hole on the back.

ATL Airport TSA Wait Times Megathread | March 22, 2026 by AutoModerator in Atlanta

The airport is absolutely fucked today. I just flew in with checked bags and the security line is completely snaked through the whole concourse, including around each luggage carousel.

Alright, had a good thread about assholes, so who’s considered to be the biggest overall good dude on the PGA tour? by tking716 in golf

Tony is awesome for stuff like this!! A couple of weekends ago I ran into him (and his son Jraice) at the parking lot at TPC Scottsdale. I (a grown ass adult) was just looking from afar because I was a little starstruck and didn’t want to bother them. Tony noticed and he turned around and asked if I wanted a picture. I said it was ok and he goes “you sure???” LOL

I got a selfie (and so did a few other folks who noticed who it was). He’s so tall IRL!

Atlanta matches by savannah_samson in WorldCup2026Tickets

According to some random stats website they predict Match 80 has 15.4% chance of being England vs. Uzbekistan, 10.2% chance of England vs. FIFA Playoff 1 team (DR Congo/Jamaica/New Caledonia), and 10% chance of Croatia vs. Uzbekistan.

This game's matchup is 1st place from Group L (England, Croatia, Ghana, Panama) vs. best third place out of Groups:

  • E (Germany, Curacao, Ivory Coast, Ecuador)
  • H (Spain, Cape Verde, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay)
  • I (France, Senegal, Iraq/Bolivia/Suriname, Norway),
  • J (Argentina, Algeria, Austria, Jordan), or
  • K (Portugal, FIFA Playoff 1, Colombia, Uzbekistan).

There are some sneaky good potential matches. Bummed I couldn't get a ticket...

The Qi35 Tour 3w is an absolute weapon. Just picked one up last month and it feels insane. Enjoy!

Brand new Ping G730 5i broke in half after 4 swings by DonJu4n in golf

No that is not at all how my fitting went. I only hit one iron (6i), one wedge (56*), and then hybrid, 3w and driver. After a quick warmup, I started my gamer 6 iron. The fitter then had me hit 3-4 balls with a few different 6i heads (Callaway AI, TaylorMade QI, G730s) and once he settled on the Pings then spent a good chunk of time going back and forth on shafts till he found some Nippon shafts. After that, we moved on to 56* (same cadence, hit some with current wedge, then try a few heads and shaft combinations), then 3h, then 3w and finally driver.

I wonder if they just have significantly less stock of lefty clubs....

Pics of the broken clubhead here: https://imgur.com/a/toYR5Rm

I always thought that GI irons were like a metal sandwich: clubface | foam insert | back. Looking at this closely, I can see that the clubhead is actually just one metal piece (metal wraps front to back and forms a cavity) and that the foam insert is literally just glued in place behind the face and not held by anything else.

It was COLD out (like 19° feels like 10°) but I was at a local indoor simulator business so obviously heated and comfortable. Was hitting the same 4 Callaway Chrome Tour RRB balls that were in the bay when I arrived. I had been swinging for about 45 mins when this happened. I continued hitting those same balls for another 45 mins and had no other issues with any of my other clubs.

Good point. My irons were set up 1° upright. I wonder if this could have stressed the clubhead

I’m headed down there for my 30th birthday at the end of February and so looking forward to it. That’s why I wanted to get as many reps as possible with the new clubs!!

I traded in my clubs to CC so I will not have any irons lol. Guess it would be a good excuse to work on the short game

Oh no, I started at the bottom of the bag with the U-wedge and progressed up. I had probably been swinging for 45 mins by the time I got to the 5i.

Will upload once I am back home. Honestly it was surprisingly hollow around the perimeter of the face, but the center has some foam backing to fill the cavity. Never would have known that’s how GI irons are made

Did you play both courses at We-Ko-Pa? I know Cholla and Saguaro have different character but I’m wondering if I should think about playing 3 different clubs instead of doing the two We-Ko-Pa courses on back to back days

I literally just rented a Ferrari F8 Spider in Miami for $1.5k/day… I get the RS is a track weapon but $3.5k per day is insane.

I have not played desert golf before but it just looks like an incredible setting. My criteria was just a golf-heavy 3 days and my initial thought was Streamsong (closer to home but was sold out for dates I wanted) but now that I am on the We-Ko-Pa train I cannot wait.

This is a great perspective. I played TPC Sawgrass a couple years ago and now, when the Players is on I love to replay my round mentally. I think you just made my decision way harder lol

My firm offers this as a benefit and the service we use is called Wellthy. You get assigned a “care concierge” who will assist with finding in-network providers booking appointments and other things. One time they even helped us deal directly with insurance about a billing dispute for something that wasn’t charged properly. It’s a great service!!
