robertson153 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Just wanted to stop by and say hey. Haven’t been around for a while, hoping that changes soon. The new position at my club is unbelievably stressful. Trying to balance life, work, and golf is a lot harder than I thought. Then throw in an interview I had at work to become the GM, and I’m stretched to the max. Hope to be back soon chatting away, and trying to learn a thing or two from you “seasoned” members. Just letting you know I haven’t bailed on MGS, just too many irons in the fire at this moment.

Popular Post null Posted January 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 21, 2020 The negativity, cynicism, and outright ignorance about new releases by some on here is absolutely nauseating. If you don't care about new golf equipment and enjoying the game, why are you here? People get some sort of high by talking down about everything and telling people that they aren't enjoying the game correctly? Get the hell out of here. This is a community of golfers that like new equipment, old equipment, playing for best score, playing for fun. People who buy new equipment every month every year or every decade. Who gives anyone the right to be a source off constant negativity? Let's have fun. Talk about our experiences playing, trying new equipment, etc. This whining about new equipment and marketing is annoying and brings absolutely nothing relevant or interesting to our community.

It's away from the 501 complex, and it's such a nice golf course. I'm surprised to hear about the Prime time, I've always heard that was pretty good.

Golf Now may be ok for traveling but around here if you have a group card the group card is cheaper. I remember Bear's son booked us at Litchfield CC on Golf Now. I could not use my Prime Times card and golf now cost more. I told them no thanks and left. The idiot in the pro shop told me since they had booked on golf now I could not use my prime times card. I said ok and went to Indian Wells. Of course I know some higher ups in the Founders Group and I made a couple of phone calls that Monday. Yep he could have taken me off that group and took me as a single and let me use my card. Trust me that cat got his butt chewed. Next time I went to Litchfield I had a free round card and just grinned at the guy. I told him he was not messing with some tourist. I told Bear's son to never ever book me on Golf Now .com ever again.

sixcat Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 We haven't been to Myrtle Beach since Graeme McDowell won the US Open at Pebble Beach in 2010. We used to go once a year but got burned out on it I guess. Anyway, the golf course owned by Coastal Carolina and operated by the students is as enjoyable an experience as I've ever had in the game. It's not touristy at all and is a very enjoyable course to play. Those kids do a phenomenal job of maintaining the course as well. Hopefully that hasn't changed over the past decade but that was always our favorite course in the Myrtle Beach area. sirchunksalot and BIG STU 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
