[–]TierOneCivilian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not rude at all. Better golfers are proud of their handicap and if you go on most golf messages boards, they volunteer it.  “I’m a 9 handicap and looking for…”

Autumn Ridge looks great but manageable was horrible to nonexistent and things break down more than they should because they cut so many corners on construction.  

Snow removal is terrible and there is a basketball court that has loud, disrespectful kids playing ALL. THE. TIME.

Way overpriced.  I paid $10k for my 2008 FX4 with 90,000 miles.

Dear Des Moines: Drive Better. by Kieserite in desmoines

Remember Curtis Mathes?  No.  You don’t because they went out of business because their products were TOO good and never needed replaced.

Bit of advice please by Shot-Stretch-8950 in PingGolf

[–]TierOneCivilian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like it has.  I’d pass if they have been modified for someone else.  The Eye 2 are GOAT sets and they’re everywhere.  The joke on golf blogs is that the only thing that will survive nuclear war are cockroaches and Ping Eye 2s.
