I had to look up our local Muni Its $28 for 18 with $32 for a cart. Crazy that the cart is more than the golf. Its your typical packed into a tiny plot muni. The local Country Club if you can get a member to get you on is $92 for 18 with a cart the first time and $120 for the second time and...

I was young maybe 23 (2000) and flew into Vegas for the first time in my life for some training. I brought my clubs with me. I took a taxi to a course and got paired with a father son twosome. Right out of the Sopranos. Track suit on the kid button down shirt with slacks for the dad, huge...

The early morning 2.5 hour rounds make my country club membership so worth it. Tee off at 7 am and I am home by 10 no problem.

Best course value in my are is in a tiny casino town right on the border of Idaho Nevada Called Jackpot Golf Club. Nice 18 hole track that they do a good job of maintaining. Season pass is $325 or $525 with a cart. Stupid cheap. I think the casinos might subsidize the course for it to be that...

I don't live where I work so i'm not worried about the work where I live or golf. We have work booked out for nearly 2 years. I guarantee that anyone who asks to look a a small little issue isn't going to want to pay me the $180 I charge for the first hour. They usually think I am going to...

It could be a supermodel and I would still tell them no. I don't do side work.

Do you tell new people you meet what you do for a living? I usually do, but i regret it. I am an electrical contractor, and any time someone such as a neighbor finds out, they all have a ceiling fan or a switch that isn't working that "will only take you a couple of minutes". No homeowner...

We are the keep to ourselves and wave and say hello kind of neighbors. In our whole neighborhood I know the names of four of them. Works for me. As far as what I do for the neighbors, its keep to myself and try to keep the best looking yard on the street. I am an electrician by trade, yet I...

I would say it's pretty close to 50/50. One of the main items we spent money on when we recently built our home was to have the same hardwood or tile floor throughout. We will NEVER have carpet in our home again. We mop it once a week. I do try to not wear shoes if I am in for a while. But...

Does your course or prefered course get filled up with random events nearly every weekend? This one one of the biggest reason I joined a private country club. The nearest course to me is virtually booked every weekend with some tournament whether it be a club competition, charity scramble...

My country club is private and only allows guest if accompanied by a member. There are no signs directing where you need to go and there are quite a few spots that you could get lost. Each hole has a rock with a etched course emblem and the tee number but I couldn't tell you where they are...

We are on our second one. I cannot say it’s worth it as we don’t use it enough to justify it. But when I do use it man oh man is it nice. Early morning soak as the sun comes up and head to the course. So nice. Drinks with my wife getting pretty tuned up is fun. Maintenance is a P I T A. I...

Usually four. It doesnt take as much time as you would envision. You are not required to hit it twice. Say you smoke a drive there may not be a reason to hit it again. If you chip in you might not hit again.

They are starting to become more popular around here (Idaho). Plus they eliminate the dreaded team scramble cheaters coming in at 26 under.

Player A vs B is different than this. You only record one score. I tee off and my first one goes 240 but is in the rough right. Second tee shot is 250 and right in the middle of the fairway. I pick up the 1st ball and then hit two from the fairway. Same scenario. !st shot land next to the pin...
