cksurfdude Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I think Caddy offered something that looked similar to a truck but it would stick out like a sore thumb besides a real truck. I'm a truck man all the way ! I've had my current truck since 1998 so it's not quite broke in good but she's my baby. We've had a few bumps and bruises from repairs along the way however the only thing I need right now is a new seat cover.Yeah basically an Escalade with an open back. Not sure what they might be hauling around with it .. maybe a couple of toy poodles? Rickp, silver & black and ole gray 3 Quote WITB of an "aspiring" play-ah ...

Sent from my SM-T580 using Tapatalk I don;'t agree with the statement that he is stealing a spot from a guy. Tournaments are given 1 or 2 sponsors exemption for the tournament. They can add anyone to those spots and generally use it to return favors or generate interest in the event. Fundamentally it wasn't a spot that would have been available for a journeyman player.

And I will also donate a set of my older clubs and many golf balls to this person above. It all comes down to each individual's situation. I think everyone has to be responsible in setting a budget in terms of both time and money when it comes to golf, but no two budgets will be the same because everyone has different priorities. Just because someone plays 4 days a week as opposed to the person who plays twice a month doesn't mean that either person is enjoying golf more than the other. And I think when it comes to equipment we all have to put blinders on and not ruin our own enjoyment of the game because someone else keeps getting the new and shiny gear. Just like with other things in life, we each have to make our own decisions with what makes us happy tony@CIC, Rickp, Big money and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
