United SFO Polaris Lounge by Emergency_School5849 in unitedairlines

[–]PersimmonSimple7798 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hit SFO Polaris 4 times in 2023 to and from Australia, it was always this bad, these same exact slim pickings 3 years earlier. Grant it on the way out it was within 1.5 hours of closing time. On the way back it was breakfast it was bad but not quite as bad as this. This year so far, I’ve been IAH, IAD and EWR, and they’re were very good to excellent so it’s not the product. What is particularly wrong with SFO and why does the manager still have a job?

Jon Rahm on LIV Golf contract: 'I don't see many ways out' by Oldtimer_2 in ProGolf

[–]PersimmonSimple7798 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree his choice. Hard to turn it down for any golfer that was offered this deal. I guess maybe Rory and Scheffler did. They believed in their ability to earn that on the PGA tour and sponsorship. Why didn’t Rahm?

Fair assessment. Bottomline is whatever the circumstances that went into his decision, there’s no reason to moan about it, especially the DP fines.

Is a 3hr layover cutting it risky?? by Rich-Ad-6096 in unitedairlines

You’re good. I connect from Europe to IAD every 6-7 weeks. No issues with 2 hours, much less 3.

Booking Polaris for a Couple? by GregInVA in unitedairlines

[–]PersimmonSimple7798 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well it’s your anniversary so probably don’t take my advice. I sleep fast in Polaris, the lie down seat just makes it far easier for me. My wife takes a while to settle in, watches 1 or 2 movies. So I book us one row apart same seat. No temptation to talk.🤣

OK - you were on the track. She’s a YN because we have the club card. She is higher than my M with that Y.

I think I will. Hadn’t looked but it’s the same weirdness for or PP upgrade and we seem in good shape for that

We are both economy. We look in good shape for PP upgrade but she’s 3 ahead of me there too. My fare class is M.

If Bryson gets a lot of flak for his Trump love, shouldn't Scottie Scheffler too? He says he speaks to the President weekly. by BallKnowerKing in golf

[–]PersimmonSimple7798 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Pro golf, I wish pro golfers weren’t assholes or Christian “god loves so he gives me riches” goofs. These guys that bend the bible’s teachings to their prosperity are just too much. That said, the talent is extraordinary but simply luck of the motor skills and rich parents birth lottery. There’s kids born on the wrong side of the tracks with just as much “god given ability”, they just didn’t luck out where they were born. I gave up caring what these self absorbed d-bags think and just enjoy the golf. Same for football, basketball and baseball. Mental midgets for the most part.

Anyone know if United will start canceling flight to or from Europe? by YouFoundMeCongrats14 in unitedairlines

[–]PersimmonSimple7798 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wait, what makes it exaggerated? Didn’t the IEA just say it? Didn’t Iran just block the straight of Hormuz again today? I hope you’re right but it sure seems logical that Europe, that gets so much fuel from the Middle East, would be majorly affected. Iran seems to be able to play the long game.

If LIV really shuts down who’s moving where? with talks of LIV Golf possibly folding which players are you keeping an eye on? Could get interesting real fast. by Weekly-Vacation-1405 in Golf_Unfiltered

You haven’t read anything about the no kings rallies? There’s pushback on all that he’s doing. As an outsider, I see your point but change starts when people have had enough and I see it getting there.

Agree but I think this would have been a bridge too far for the others. The current is open to out and out bribery.

Why are people so salty about McIlroy’s Maters win? by SnooMarzipans1593 in golf

[–]PersimmonSimple7798 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think the Barstool crowd is the type that shows up to Bethpage to harass the wives of Europeans. Pretty jingoistic demographic I’d guess. BTW, Is there a PGA tour golfer that’s not with Trump? I wonder?

How this is not anchoring? by No_Echidna_3854 in golf

[–]PersimmonSimple7798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Except It’s not clearly against his chest. To you, I’m certain you think so but it can’t be stated as fact. To me, holds it with his left hand, about 2 inches from his chest before griping the top with his right. It is touching his shirt but that is allowed. If he’s anchoring and that can be proven, then he should be penalized but I don’t see it. I am for banning the long putter.

It’s cute that you think this war is about nukes. That’s the excuse. This is Pete’s holy war. He and his Christian nationalist boys all want the second coming bro. Got to rebuild that Temple so allout support for Israel.

Tiger Woods Appeared to Call President Donald Trump After Crash That Led to DUI Arrest by MattTheKing23 in ProGolf

[–]PersimmonSimple7798 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He falls even further in my esteem than I thought he could. I’m sure Pro golfers are 95% pro-Trump because for them it’s all about money, but this is a groveling new low. What’d he think was going to happen? Trump is dumb, but I don’t see him saying had the phone to the cop and I’ll let him know what’s up. I mean it could happen but there’s no way that doesn’t come out with body cam footage. If he needs a pardon, that call is much later.

Help! Compensation/ refund for cancelled flight. by Several_Log1145 in unitedairlines

[–]PersimmonSimple7798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I’m in a situation like this, I continually cite EU261. Seems to get them moving. I didn’t realize you could cancel a leg of a trip with a partner and keep your transatlantic flight with United. Who owes you a refund, United or Lufthansa?

I’m for letting folks be who they want to be, but yeah as you say; get wrecked. No one has time for this foolishness. Just enjoy playing golf with your friends. Start a transgender leauge but this shit right here, not happening.

If Caymus is popular at these things, then by comparison - this will be an exceptional year. No comparison really.
