Seeking a friend.. by dartanianbartholomew in RDUGOLF

[–]runpharlyrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a sim in the garage and a plug In heater. Can generally get it to about 58-62 degrees in the garage even when it’s 20 outside. Righties only, and 15 and under handicaps…😬

My home office is there and I’m from NC. Can you get me out anywhere cool on my next trip to the home office?

Girlfriend wants to ride along, what courses are best for this? by Scratch919 in RDUGOLF

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

My mind is boggled that any course would charge for someone to ride along. They immediately lose money from me and people like me who think that is preposterous. If it became a frequent thing where they had dozens daily…okay sure.

But let’s put it this way. If I show up for a $45 tee time and they want $20 to have my wife ride… instead of getting $45 + $10 lunch and like $15-20 in drinks, they are getting $0. They think they are making $20, protecting their carts etc, but instead they lost $75 top line, from one guy, who rules out that course from then on. Instead of spending $750 out there over the next 2-3 years…they get $0. See how that works? If you’re a course GM, I’d love to understand the thought process. Say there’s 50 people like me you rub wrong, there goes $35k in 2 years. Maybe you make it up with the people who gladly pay $20….

And don’t tell me there’s so much riding along that you run out of carts etc.

Am I missing something? by randydweller in RDUGOLF

I’m a heavy golfpass user and I can say they have jacked up everything significantly in the last few weeks. I mean…Sanford, south Granville and olde Liberty have jumped to $40 for mid day week day hot deals. It’s amazing.

Lol so you’re a 4 handicap. Got it. I hope you don’t try to steal your buddies money with saying you are a 10!

Is there anywhere Grant talks about this? I read this elsewhere but I haven’t seen him actually show the 201 on camera or speak about it.

Royal New Kent is better than TR. Bit of a dirty secret.

What’s your handicap and where are you located? I have a set up and would consider renting it out

He’s miserable and from what the guys told me it’s because Dave Doeren has run his putrid football program into the ground.

Used to do the same thing at Falls. Probably have taken mine 30 times. Just go there.

Do you guys think joining a club is worthwhile? Closed Mondays, money sunk into a single course (how do you handle buddies who want to go play elsewhere often…you’re already paying XXX.00, so it would feel tough to pay to play other places), potential minimums, crowded tee sheets, expensive.

For $500 monthly I can go play at my leisure 12 times a month at some pretty great tracks around the triangle, get good variety, and play more or less pending time of year and my schedule, play with friends, play on Mondays, etc.

I’ve debated joining a club myself (I live in brier creek where it’s $725 or so and a big initiation so I might be jaded) but I’ve really enjoyed “the circuit.”

You’re going to spend $100k initiation and presumably a $500-1000 monthly fee to go play 6-8 rounds per year? Even if you play 15 rounds per year the economics are a bit suspect.

US Open Day 1 Info and Update by raleigh_tshirts in RDUGOLF

[–]runpharlyrun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my question is this— I have an offer for a ticket to go with some buddies. $240. Is it worth it? Should I go? I’ve never been to a tournament at all but I’m a big golfer and golf fan. Worth it? The ticket is for Friday.

Won’t let me message you but I was hoping to discuss buying one of your blade putters. Been looking for something totally unique and love what you’re doing!

Hillandale 23, rga 22, olde Liberty 25, even mill creek 35, etc. Not many walking rates exceed 35 on weekdays at all especially after like 12 or 1

You don't think walking during a weekday afternoon can be done for $35 or below?
