I know about 50% of the members well (guys around my age who I sometimes play with), don't know anything about any of the guests..though one guest is a member at Winged Foot so I'm hoping to become buddies with him this weekend. We use cap patrol, and also play off of 90% of the year low...

Have my club's member-guest this weekend. Pretty pumped since it's the first time I'm in it. It always fills up and 80% of the field is based on seniority (how many years did you participate in the MB out of the past 10), and the last 20% is a random lottery. Finally had my name pulled from...

What a difference a month makes...

Thanks bud. I for sure don't care either way, just happy to finally get one. Definitely still reliving the shot and the ride up to the green. Funny enough the 2nd day of the tournament our group started out on that hole. I proceeded to hook my tee shot into the brush and ended up with a double.

Supposedly our club eats the additional cost if the tab is more than the pooled insurance money, but we’ll see. I’ll gladly pay the balance. It was definitely more fun having drinks to celebrate in a full clubhouse rather than draining one on a random weekday afternoon when there are only a few...

Our club has hole-in-one "insurance." They charge all golf members $2.50 anytime there is a HIO and then use that pooled money to pay the bar tab. All golfers then have a couple hour window to get a free drink in the clubhouse. On a slow day if there is any leftover money after the tab is...

Finally did it -- got my first hole-in-one this weekend at my club's member-member!! Still buzzing from finally draining one! It happened on a 162-yard par 3, playing about 170 with an uphill elevation and a right-to-left wind. I pulled 5-iron, flushed it, and watched it take off right at the...

Aberg was light out when he won at Torrey last month. He's played mediocre recently, missed the cut last week. Still can probably turn it on at any time. Rahm and Bryson were playing well last week though faded in the final round. I like Macintyre because of the lefty bias at Augusta.

I'm going with a little Rahm, Lowry, Macintire, Theegala, and Koepka

My club is more or less the same with the service charge. Auto 20%. Like Woz said, we have some cheapskates and it was instituted to take care of the staff. I do like that when I'm done eating I can just get up and go rather than waiting to sign a check. I think outside food/drink is frowned...

What’s standard member-guest etiquette…does the member pay for everything or does the guest split the fees?

Went for a driver fitting this week. Super pumped to hit 15 yards further into the woods!

I’ve lost every set of AirPods I’ve had before there were any signs of them dying.

$UNH they’re too big to fail and I think the new administration will look favorably on the big insurers. Stock is down because of the assassination and the public’s reaction, but that’ll fade and fall out of the news cycle.
