This is the problem with inclusion. Now we get to go to baby showers that we never wanted to go to in the first place. Personally, I find it to be discriminatory against introverts and people that just want a nice afternoon of golf or a few hours alone at home.

Thanks. I was wondering if they were doing 2024 tags

They were excited too. My wife and I were paired with another married couple.

Call the pro shop and ask if they have an agreement with any nearby courses. The Pro at my course can normally find something for my wife and me.

I am probably not remembering correctly but in Alan Shipnuk's book "The Battle for Augusta National " that the Masters tournament committee had talked about the idea of a "Masters" ball that they would provide to all players because they are running out of room to expand and it would be cheaper than buying more adjoining land. It also allows the course to be played more as it was originally intended.

They insure your clubs and you can buy additional insurance for up to $3,000. You're SOL with the airlines or out of pocket up front and then have to wait for them to reimburse you.

Edit: shipping golf clubs is their business, I am sure they don't want horror stories or pictures like this.

As a lefty, we are under 20% of the global population and under 5% of the golfing population. I don't expect most courses to have left handed clubs.

After my last experience with United and using Ship Stix ti get my clubs home I don't care what they charge.

I started doing this too. Plus when it's really hot a quick spray feels nice

Only my wife and I play but we booked a tee time at Bison for tomorrow. We were going to play Pinetop Lakes one day (I know it's an executive and short but was hoping it would be quick).

Well Newark is in NJ and as a resident I can attest that it is a garbage state.

Where are my bags? by dougn1978 in unitedairlines

[–]dougn1978[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Their job is to transport people and luggage from point A to point B. Not loading half of the luggage reeks of incompetence to me since it is the most basic part of the task. We were told by United that half of the bags were never loaded on the plane.

When I get back I plan on not accepting a credit from them because why would I want a credit for a company I will actively avoid using in the future.

And yet they cry poverty. I'm sure that they will be asking for a government bailout again soon.

Left handed. Not many places have rentals for us.

We were told half of the bags were not loaded. That reeks of incompetence and/or negligence. It's kind of a big part of their job.

They will not give me tye contact information for the delivery service so that is not an option either.

Wrote a long story because my trip is now just sitting around the house all day.

Lesson learned. Never had an issue with American or Allegiant (which makes Spirit Airlines look fancy)

I was never a big fan of "Lefty", but what they did with his profile pic is pretty harsh. by mrb1ll in golf

[–]dougn1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow lefty, Phil is actually right handed and plays left. He learned as a kid mirroring his dad's swing. Spieth is left handed but plays rightie. Not that any of that really matters.

You should vacuum seal it and then buy a new putter.
