tony@CIC 21,997 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 For you Veterans that do DIY at home. Home Depot just made a big splash with their Veterans discount - generally 10% except sale items. Guess they decided they were losing too much to Lowes veteran's discount. HD had one before but not very well communicated. This is a big plus for me as I live about 5 min from a Home Depot and about 25 minutes via a white knuckle drive on Rt. 75. to Lowes. The process is a bit different at checkout at HD since you have to use a QR code (HD app) on your phone. On the other hand you can self checkout and just scan the code in. 3 Quote Left Hand orientation G410 SFT driver Cobra King F-9 5 wood 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter NX9-HD - 4 Wheel - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Snell MTB-X 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The process is a bit different at checkout at HD since you have to use a QR code (HD app) on your phone. On the other hand you can self checkout and just scan the code in. The splash is about the debut of the phone app for checkout, they have had the Veteran discount for years as I was using it before I was aware of Lowes doing the same thing. I preferred the old way of showing proof of service and the entry of phone # aka the old way for getting the discount. Always appreciated is the checkout clerk's thank you for service (should be thank you for sacrifice but not going to be rude when someone is being kind). And yes I wait for checkout since I don't work there and will not self-checkout since they are not about to extend an employee discount for my purchases. Something else that Home Depot does it have a reserved parking spot for Veterans next to the Handicap spots in front of the store.

Given the way we were treated coming back from Vietnam, even a half hearted thank you is a big improvement. I'm not bashful, I'll ask everyone for a veterans discount and get it most of the time. 4 Quote Left Hand orientation G410 SFT driver Cobra King F-9 5 wood 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter NX9-HD - 4 Wheel - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Snell MTB-X 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B 32,490 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Here I am sitting in the SLC airport on our flight to Palm Springs. First time flying since pre-pan-damn-ic, and 3 years since I flew through SLC. What to my surprise?! Brand new airport!! Apparently, they built this new one and then tore down the entire old one and buried it. So far, no problems. We had a plane and a flight crew!! 5 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here I thought I wasn’t a newb… We are all trying to learn. Like @Shanksterpointed out the new content button is what I used. I setup the filter to show me anything that is unread, but I filtered out questions, images, and albums . Since we aren't like some of the larger forums there isn't an overwhelming amount of new content. I then scroll through the list to find topics that I find interesting. Once I get through the list, I'll hit the mark forum read button and start again next time I am on the forum. 5 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* set to 16.5* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 816H1 19* set at 18* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 5-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54-10S 588 58-12 Putter: Directed Force 2.1 Backups: 6330, TM-180, Milled Collection RSX 2, Bellum Winmore 787, mFGP2 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
