  1. Great to hear.  I 2nd the green reading skills of the caddies out there.  On a few putts, I would have read the break completely opposite of what was correct and the caddy saved my butt.  Also I had the same guy for all 3 rounds so he got to know my game and did make club selection choices for me.    It was a bucket list trip for me, so definitely splurged.    I'm off to Ireland for golf end of next week and plan on using caddies for all 6 rounds  Another bucket list trip.  Never played in Europe before.  

  2. Did those 3 courses last year with a caddie and really enjoyed it.  Just relax and have fun.   I'd suggest doing caddies at all 3 courses.  I actually had the same caddy for all 3 rounds, liked him at Spyglass and asked if he'd meet me at the other 2 courses.  Great having local knowledge, just will make the rounds much more pleasant and hopefully memorable for you.  Nothing to worry about.  If you bring a larger golf bag, they will move your clubs into a lighter ping hoofer type bag so be prepared for that.  All in all, if I go back there, I'd still spend the money on a caddy for all 3 rounds.  Have fun and like I mentioned above, just relax and enjoy.  

  3. I have a speaker on my golf cart and listen to music during the round but as noted above keep it quiet enough to not be heard very far away from the cart.  If someone is going to ride with me, I will ask them if it's ok.  I think wearing ear buds is kind of rude to your fellow golfers, makes it seem like you don't want to be having a conversation with them.  I'll only use earbuds on the range.  But all just my opinion.  Whatever works for you is ok with me.  

  4. What we do is have the shortest driver go first and get one in play off the tee and then the long hitters can bomb it.  Same on 2nd shots.  For putts, as mentioned above, best putter goes last.  Trick in scrambles is to have someone that is a long hitter with lower handicap and then have somebody get hot with the putter.  Also if mixed group, having one of the women is who is long off the women's tees is always a great start on many holes.  

  5. If you have a PXG fitting location nearby, take your driver there and compare it to one of these with the same shaft and see if there's a big difference.  Also maybe I missed it but how does it play on the course?  overall distance compared to your other driver, ball flight, etc.   

  6. I've had a vessel bag for several years now, it's mainly white with some blue trim.  It has held up wonderfully and I use a magic clean eraser sponge thing to keep it clean.  Really easy to keep up with it and it looks great.  I think like mentioned above, it probably depends on what the material the bag is made from and the overall quality.

    ... Mine installed a 60A breaker as well. So since we have the same battery in our cars and the same charger my question is, how long does it take for a full charge and do you always charge it completely? My Power company offers a reduced EV rate between 11pm to 6am and of course I can program it to charge then. 

    with our Tesla, if we charge it up to 100% the regen breaking doesn't work for awhile until the battery goes down some, think 95% is a good spot to charge to for a long trip.  I usually charge mine to 80% every few days or when it gets below 200 mile range.  Seems I read somewhere to not always charge the batteries to maximum as it lessens their life or something like that......  

  8. Really late to this thread but we picked up a very low mileage 2021 Tesla S LD+ 6 months or so ago.  Really a great car.  We had a 2021 Tesla Y (short range) that we'd bought new a year before we got the S but wanted longer range.  We actually got $6K more than we paid trading in the Y thru Vroom.  Really happy we upgraded to the S and having the around 400+ mile range is great.  

  9. We were very fortunate here in Oldsmar, (little north of Clearwater)  no damage in our area that I've seen other than tree limbs.  Still really windy today so will hold off putting things back outside until tomorrow.  So very sorry for the folks in the Naples, Ft Myers area, they got the brunt of Ian.   Heard from @revkevlast evening and they were doing fine in St Pete.  

  10. Our Saturday group is administered on golf genius software so we require a GHIN handicap.  If your group wants to use GHIN you're kind of stuck.  Doesn't seem like enough $$ to cause a stink over but that's just me.  

  11. I only hit around 10-12 shots on the range for my warm-up.  Like Dave mentioned above, unlimited range balls are included in our membership.  I hit some putts on practice green and time permitting will hit a few chips there also.   Question for others, why do some people practice chipping and putting with range balls instead of with their typical gamer balls?  That I don't understand at all.    Anyways, back to the original question, if I'm playing, the range is a quick warm-up session, it's not a time to work on changes, etc.
