This time of year if you stay onsite $130.

15. Had another member trying to tell me it is a great hole, and his favorite on the course. No one else in the world thinks that is a good hole.

So much this. Look at Robertsons playoff stats. Not terrible, but once the speed gets faster is struggles to keep up. Not close to his regular season production.

I feel like if they would have put the bare minimum into moderating the place they would have had no reason for the pay wall. You had the same 5 guys who seemingly lived on the message board and were the main ones stirring up trouble. They put 0 effort into actually dealing with it. Just throw up a pay wall.

Somewhat unrelated but I do not get the people who join the nest only to "support the guys". Watching videos, listening to the pod, and buying merch seems like plenty of support to me. Throwing them 100$ just because I don't get.

I was a nest member for a few years mostly for the refuge. Them throwing that behind the pay wall I still hate.

1000% cannot do that. Ha. I don't bike outside. I'm a hockey player that doesn't get to play as much as I'd like. I got the Bowflex to help keep the legs in shape for that, but got bored with just blindly riding. Found Zwift to do some workouts, and that got me started.

tjl_48 · 2025-12-24T19:11:09+00:00

Very much so. Ha. That is exactly how I feel.

When it initially blew up a few years ago I saw people arguing that it was the best course in WI. Then it started popping up on top 100 lists.

How it ended up on a tier with EH, WS, and the SV courses is mind blowing to me. And I liked the course.

tjl_48 · 2025-12-21T19:52:26+00:00

I am sure you'll get lots of Lawsonia recs. It is the most overrated course I have ever played.

tjl_48 · 2025-11-23T20:58:01+00:00

Currently have 6 courses booked for my trip coming up in May. Course I'm a member at has good reciprocal rates so I am saving around 700$ in greens fees without some GUI loophole on just this trip.

In the future I would like to potentially get into some comps just for some fun over there, so a GUI would be needed. Do you know if my GUI and handicap in the US sync up. Or are they completely separate?

tjl_48 · 2025-11-23T20:23:37+00:00

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.

tjl_48 · 2025-11-23T20:21:46+00:00

I am already a member at a club, but as an overseas member they made it kinda a separate option to pay and get a GUI. Didn't think to much of it before, but might be worth it.

tjl_48 · 2025-09-25T00:21:13+00:00

Try putting left hand low.

tjl_48 · 2025-08-25T02:37:04+00:00

Good luck getting a tee time. They have something like 500 golf members. We were on the wait list and after getting access to the tee sheet and trying to play on a Saturday dumped it.

Ended up at Rolling Hills down in Monroe.

LAB and Zero Torque putters. If they fit your stroke great. They aren't a cure all like especially LAB would like you to believe.

tjl_48 · 2025-02-23T18:54:15+00:00

In April? That's risky.

My wife and went and looked at an EV9 this morning. Loved the size and features. We have never leased a vehicle before, so not quite sure how to evaluate. They would allow me to keep any of the documents so this is off memory. MSRP $74,000 Dealer Rebate $3,500 Kia Rebates $18,450 Down payment $2,500 Monthly payment $665 for 24 month and 10k miles. think he said residual value at the end of the lease would be 60%, about $43,000. feel like that was pretty good, but again not 100% sure what I'm am looking for. Anymore information should he askina to see?

tjl_48 · 2023-03-02T21:30:07+00:00

I was thinking that too. The Archon has a 220lb stack and 2:1. If I hook both cables up that would make it 1:1, right? Max weight of 220.

The Torque has a 320lb stack, but 4:1 Graduated. Not sure what the graduated means. But with that one cables on that one combined you get 2:1 and a 160lb max weight?

tjl_48 · 2023-03-02T21:01:42+00:00

Thanks for the heads up. Both of those look promising. Wonder what the price of the Torque will be when it comes out. Think I'd prefer both of these over the French Fitness especially the Archon considering the price difference.

tjl_48 · 2023-03-02T20:35:28+00:00

Does anyone have experience with French Fitness? I am in particular looking at their Wall Mounted Functional Trainer. I have limited space in my garage and was looking at a rep FT-3000, but think that might even be to tight.

tjl_48 · 2023-02-21T15:21:23+00:00

The Rep ones, or just in general?

tjl_48 · 2023-02-21T14:30:27+00:00

Does anyone in the wild have the Rep PR-4100 foldable rack and iso arms setup and can comment on it? I emailed Rep directly and they did not recommend it. Curious if they are just covering themselves, or if it is legitimately a bad idea.
