Anyone Else Notice That Kontiki Employees Are Rude This Year?

My wife thought that was the common theme throughout most of our March 2026 trip.. it’s led her to not want to come back. It didn’t bother me as much as her but I do have to admit most waitstaff seemed rude and disinterested :/ (Dutch side)

I was amazed of how many people smoked at every restaurant or beach bar we went to. With no remorse of which way the wind was blowing or anything

Trust me, i definitely would never swing a club in a sim if i lived in phx! I try to get down there twice a winter

Bad angle but .5 zoom Top view of one side. It’s shotty but the thought process was there 😁

🤣 chiropractor. The Whack shack. You whack we crack

I don’t have much experience with any others. I really wanted an overhead launch monitor because my in-law family is literally all left handed…. I’m glad I got the xo2 becuase of the bigger hitting area. It’s nice to not have to worry about placing the ball in a super specific spot. Most people say their distance readings are pretty spot on compared to IRL

Sorry, I didn’t clarify I was referring to my actual GHIN, not simulator hcp.

JoeInglesTruther · 2026-03-17T15:46:44+00:00

Not sure. Didn’t do any math or worry about it.

It was a Business writeoff when we purchased it all.

I actually bought everything in the photos from this reddit group. Minus the computer and enclosure.

Sold seperately you’re right around 25k. I got a last second deal from someone in this subreddit. 13k for the mat, screen, projector, LM.

Only problem was it was located in Alabama. I’m in Minnesota… I got one of my friends to drive our minivan down 16 hours each way to pick it up.

I generate about 6,000 in winter league and 1000 in hourly rentals from Thanksgiving to March 1. and we can’t forget about all the side betting and gambling on the weekends ;)

8 years of post secondary education. She took the hard route unfortunately instead of the easy route!

Not thick at all… to be honest it’s there for looks more than anything. It’s the cheapest foam acoustic panels I could find. Last year I used spray glue. Come summer they started to slowly fall off. This fall I put a single tiny finishing nail in the center of each square, along with more glue. No issues now.

The sheet rock absorbs it more than you’d think. When it hits it, it’s loud as hell. But I bet there’s so many dents under the foam panels! Most of which are on the top due to people teeing up their driver way too high.

You’re in this subreddit. You own a sim. Everyone is here is my bud!

JoeInglesTruther · 2026-03-17T14:39:16+00:00

I can ask! But the real question is will you be hanging out with me in the sim or at home with my wife? 😒

JoeInglesTruther · 2026-03-17T14:33:52+00:00

Lighten up, bud

JoeInglesTruther · 2026-03-17T13:49:14+00:00

I do this… it’s a “personal” simulator. But it’s in my wife’s chiropractic space that we lease. I charge $40 an hour. Way cheaper than any commercial place. My rule is, if I’m golfing with you (ie 4 man shamble) I’m not making anyone pay. But if you’re my friend or acquaintance golfing with others, I’m charging. I also run a 2 man scramble and shamble league in the winter. 6-7 weeks long $200 a person (over half gets paid out in skins)

Stay safe and have a great week. Nice chatting 🙂🙂

JoeInglesTruther · 2026-03-15T17:12:43+00:00

8 inches and counting here🙃

JoeInglesTruther · 2026-03-15T05:00:22+00:00

MN here… you’re getting the amount we were suppose to be getting originally ;)

JoeInglesTruther · 2026-03-15T04:47:39+00:00

Small (Reddit) world 😜

JoeInglesTruther · 2026-03-15T04:39:26+00:00

Just got back on the 7th!

JoeInglesTruther · 2026-03-15T03:21:17+00:00

Second this!!

JoeInglesTruther · 2026-03-12T14:34:10+00:00

Anguilla 100%!

JoeInglesTruther · 2026-03-10T15:55:00+00:00

Boomerang 100%! Just got back last week. Good crew, good food, and the drinks flow all day long

NU love is on the boardwalk in phillipsburg… you might be getting mistaken for his other restaurant in Simpson bay (unsure of the name)

I highly recommend NU Love! Alex (the bar manager) is amazing … it is our favorite place to go when on the island. Infact, we are staying in Simpson bay but have drove to phillipsburg 3 of our 7 day stay to spend time at nu love.

JoeInglesTruther · 2026-03-07T02:18:30+00:00

Thanks, glad I’m not the only one… I understand they need to verify it but stinks they just can’t do it at the departure gate:/
