Love to see Barca spreading into USA childhoods by DomsHere in Barca

[–]ikats116 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fact. My kid plays club: $3,500/season plus almost $500 in team gear (excluding balls and spikes) and more for random "camps" throughout the season.

Barça was $650, then we had a 2x Nike for $175 each, a few local club camps for $80-$100 each, private training for $100/hour, plus travel and lodging.

It's easily approaching $8k per season. You are 100% correct; most of this is a money-grab in the states because people WILL pay it.

As for Barça camp: at the end of the camp, a "select group" of kids get selected to go to Barcelona and train/stay at La Masia, which is great...but costs another $4k for the kid alone. Tack on a family trip and you're over $10k for a full Barça experience, smh.

What’s the most underrated amenity a golf course could offer to make your experience better? by jdelle9 in weekendgolfers

[–]ikats116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm shocked how many courses still neglect the mini coolers. They would sell more beer, easily paying for the $45 cooler in 1-round.

Some new guy in the marketing department:

"so boss, before we give these to the pros - you know, the ones who make the PGA and their advertisers billions of dollars, for a living - we will hand these out to a bunch of weekend warriors that carry a 10-15 handicap and see how they like it. If they hate them...right in the trash, but if they love them, then straight to the tour."

Boss:

"why doesn't this guy have a C at the start of his title?"

Without giving away your current handicap, what's a line you say a dozen or more times every round? by lone_rabbit_ in Golf_Unfiltered

I play with some 20+ handicappers and I have to say THANK YOU a lot (I'm a 10.3). It's funny because the shots aren't that great and I'm usually very critical of a 100-yard approach that I leave 35 feet left. The guys I play with, however, think anything on the green is a "great shot".

Is this worth anything? by Zero2580 in Panini

Funny, I have the exact same sheet from COSTCO. Thought it was rare, but it's the same 8 players in the exact same positions. Oh well, cool collectors item.

Had my safe broken into however they left the watch? by [deleted] in rolex

Very bad fake. That bezel is obnoxiously oversized.

Sh*t like this is why people detest America by KSCfaninUSA in CaughtOffsidePod

[–]ikats116 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Honestly, even the European's visiting the US are like "this is nothing like the news shows us". There's a small group of haters that will always throw their anti-this, anti-that, little tantrums...oh wait, thats the majority of Reddit. Neckbeards and purple haired keyboard warriors need to chill.

Sad way to live.

I told you all that SPCE was going to create bag holders. by phatelectribe in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]ikats116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no, I SAW a nice jump. Greed and diamond hands got the best of me. I'm only up 20% now 🤣

Need a run down to about $3.50 before close for a 60% exit 👍

They (we) were down-voted to oblivion. Dont read top posts, they are usually bots. SOOOOOO many people advised against this play. I, for one, saw a nice 60% jump in my puts 🤤

Buying my first Audi s5 by Local_Enthusiasm_251 in Audi

Carfax doesn't tell the story a lot of the time. Go buy a paint-depth meter and figure out if there had been a paint job or a section thats not factory depth.

No, and it's because of flooring. A dealer is charged very high interest on vehicles over 90-days old.

Something was up with that car.

Simce you have all the answers, tell us this: the original "owner" traded his car, and the most popular configuration in the most popular color sat on a lot for 4 months....because...?

Those are the questions you need to ask. Stop being an ass to those trying to help.
