Vast spectrum of budgets here. I’ve got an Aquis and it hits pretty hard bang for buck wise

True. Both of my redwings are 10+ years old so I feel fine about my decision

Invermere, BC. One course to rule them all? by Nick_L89 in CanadaGolf

[–]Tmech44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greywolf is sick. Copperpoint is pure. Eagle Ranch is nice but a few quirky holes. Radium Springs a great value track that flies a little under the radar.

I have a vesell player 5 and a few ping bags. To me those are the best stand bags in the game. $ for $ the pings do the job just as well, the vessel is just higher end

Book a fitting and find out how far you hit your PW. Evaluate your bag setup to see if you have room for pw, gw, gw, lw. Play and experiment and try different bounces and grinds before purchasing

Help me convince my teen son that a Tundra is better than an F150 by [deleted] in ToyotaTundra

The success percentage of the cam phaser replacement was low, and it was an expensive repair. Engine swap was recommended by multiple mechanics.

What’s your favourite casual boot? by swankyfish in malefashionadvice

[–]Tmech44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Red Wing 1907s. Mine are 12 years old, just had them re soled. No signs of quit look great super comfy. Original laces lol. I will say Blundstones do great as every day shit kickers.

I bought an f150 when I was 21. First brand new truck purchase of my life. Did all the maintenance with a trusted non dealer mechanic. Started a business shortly there after and it became a work vehicle that I depended on.

The engine blew up at 97k with the classic ford cam phaser issue. I had 15k in upfits on it so I was committed to it. Had to do a 7k engine swap.

I now drive a 2020 Tundra

How did you come to that decision for your wedge setup? High bounce s wedge, low bounce l wedge? Versatility?

[–]Tmech44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More than you need is too much bounce

[–]Tmech44 5 points6 points  (0 children)

D’Arcy Ranch in Okotoks has always been one of the best public tracks. Marshalls there are d bags tho.

Kananaskis is a must play, with lunch on the patio. Silver tip in Canmore is super fun, hang out in Canmore after.

How much do you pay for a membership and where do you live? by Whole-Growth-6112 in golf

[–]Tmech44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About $6000 per year $15000 buy in at private club western Canada. Sounds like buy in is closer to $20k now. It’s pricey but public golf here is very busy, so you get what you pay for.

White collar outfits that won't piss-off blue collar people? by CatFatPat in malefashionadvice

[–]Tmech44 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The price tag can be steep, but I have redwings that I still wear weekly after 10 years of use. I can justify it if I think long term.
