Hole 3, or 16 at Ottawa Park. We don’t get snow anymore though.

I have placed three LL Bean orders over the past month. Welcome to the club, brother.

17th fairway at Maketewah pictured here behind me. Steep decline and long run out to the green.

Makes me feel better about my two orders. One of which is starting her off in the life young.

Maybe when you feel like bragging to your friends how good the customer service is and the value you get from their lifetime guarantee.

This died a few years ago after they had a spat of people returning clearly old and very worn products for a “warranty” return. This American Life did a great episode on this just before they scraped it.

Yeah I think the same thing happened with Doc Marten

Well how about that. A defining aspect of the brand now gone because idiot humans tried to take advantage. This is why we can’t have nice things (T Swift).

Clearly I emerged from my LL Bean era a long time ago.

I almost exclusively wear Darn Tough socks, and they have a lifetime guarantee, no questions asked. I’ve worn out several pairs because I wear them for work, where I’m on my feet a lot, and I’ve never even thought about trying to turn them in for replacements because I don’t want to be the same kind of person who ruined it with LL Bean

Same thing with Feetures socks. I’ve had pairs for 10 years that finally develop a hole, GTFO with returning that as a defect, just support the product

When it was legal a L-O-N-G time ago, the play was to start at 18 tee, bank off the the slope on the right below the 16th tee, and try to get to the creek that used to extend from the right of 15 green across the 18th fairway.

A few blind spots after that mound led to some dandy collisions.

Sledding on any MetroParks course should be legal but at your own risk. It’s taxpayer funded, I should be able to break my neck wherever I want.

Would love to come. Need to see how the chips fall with work schedule.

I did just use it with several pairs of feetures but they were only a year old. I was about to throw them out before double checking their policy

People do at manakiki. I’ve seen it and done it when I was younger.

That’s fair game. Mine felt like well beyond what should constitute a lifetime guarantee

alrighty, we’ve got the 2025 Major Scheduled like I mentioned before. Here’s some other important dates

|22-Feb|Fropen|Ottawa Park - Toledo|
|7-Jun|FCF MAJOR - Classic Club Championship|Diamond Springs - Grand Rapids|
|2-Aug|RCC Regional Qualifier|TBD|
|Oct 9-12|Roost Club Championship|Sweetens Cove, TN|

Date TBD is the Rust Belt Rumble against Michigan - This is looking like a 12 man team battle against our friends to the north. Also, possibly looking like late June is an option.

Snow has probably killed my Extinction plans. Wife and kids will be in school that Friday now.

Still negotiating, but probably pivoting to a solo Sand Valley trip.

Does their school not have a weather cancellation allotment? I thought most schools had like 5 days they could miss without having to make them up
