  1. Tesla Model X 2016. Love it! I have the base model of 237 miles. Never had to restrict my trips as Tesla has Superchargers everywhere. I expect their coverage is good in Switzerland. Falcon wings door were specially designed to make getting a baby in and out very easily. Fun to drive. I wouldn't buy another brand in the US unless for local travel. The other manufacturers charging infrastructure is not yet robust enough.
  2. Thanks for the clarification, Maybe the title should be "Equipment bifurcation is coming"? or I could read the thread
  3. Bifurcation has been here since 2019. The USGA allows courses to put a drop zone on the green side of a PA with no adjustment to handicap and the same penalty as if the zone was where the USGA said "It should be." The USGA/AGA would NEVER run a tournament and put a drop zone on the green side of a Penalty area. Sorry if this has been mentioned in the previous 21 pages, I didn't read them all.
  4. I recent discovered the USGA has made a significant change in the rules. It is clearly stated "drop zones should not be located on the green side of a penalty area". When we went to our AGA we were told "the rules say "you should not" put the drop zone on the green side of a penalty area BUT "we don't say you can't". "Well within the rules, no handicap adjustment necessary". We even have a tee (course) for those who can't carry the penalty area (water), but those less skilled golfers have been given the go ahead by our AGA and the USGA to change the way the hole plays. Higher handicap golfers who would play the easier course, which takes the water out of play, now can play a longer, more difficult course as there is no down side. Only an upside, they get more strokes. This seems like bifurcation to me. I don't believe the USGA or my AGA would ever run an event placing drop zones on the green side of a penalty area. Are you aware of the change?
