some will. Lol. Im all for practicing good hygiene and being aware of your surroundings. Doesn’t hurt to load up on the hand sanitizer etc etc. but other than that, I don’t know what people are supposed to do. It’s unrealistic to stop living life, most people still have to go to work and do what they do.

Healthy people should not be wearing masks in public that’s been stated everywhere. It does nothing to stop you from getting sick

I appreciate the offer. I’ll keep poking around and see what I can come up with first. Looks like the weather is going to support play pretty soon.

Seems like with all the precautions and extra cleanings and all that stuff going on at schools... seems like closing is going to be a last resort. At this point, doesn’t seem like most are operating like they plan to close

Yeah... same... I was sick earlier this week... congested and coughing but no fever... it’s pretty much cleared as of today.

You and everyone else. It’s gone through my work and my family over the last 2 weeks. Time of year

How common is pneumonia from this in younger and generally health folks? I’m not being sarcastic.... just everything I’ve read has t mentioned it even once

Well of course, nobody wants to see anyone get sick or die, obviously. But isn’t that the case with any sickness generally? The older/more compromised your immune system already is, the harder something like this will hit. My sister in law had a baby yesterday and we went to the hospital to visit this morning. We were “screened” when we went in. The screening consisted of literally asking if we had been out of the country or had a fever. If that’s what these measures are going to be, then yeah, you can probably expect it to spread. I mean, it was kind of a joke.

I think the biggest problem is somebody who doesn’t know they have it can be here there and everywhere for weeks before realizing it. on the flip side, I don’t think you can live in fear. I mean, I’m not going to be locking myself in the house or wearing a huge mask whenever I go out. Its also important to remember, the large majority of the population will be fine in time. Nothing is a guarantee... but if you are healthy and conscious of your surroundings/cleanliness.. you probably aren’t going to get it, and if you do, it probably isn’t going to put you in your death bed

Honestly... not much... 300-400 bucks probably. I’m looking for a whole set, but as a beginner, I don’t feel the need to spend a ton of money. Ive checked eBay... and some interesting deals.. but I’ve yet to see a full set and piecing a set together on there seems pricey. I have friends who have spent a couple hundred on “box” sets and slowly upgraded club by club over the seasons.

On second thought I might go with Callaway strata. Cheaper and pretty good reviews. They don’t say Callaway on them so they must be made by some company loosely associated with them lol

My father in law is a big golfer... I wouldn’t be surprised if he had $5k worth of clubs in his bag if not more. Ultimately a club is a club. If you suck you suck, If you’re good you’re good.

After getting about a half dozen recommendations... went with the Wilson staff the first set I linked.... we’ll see how they are

Will do.... very expensive. I went to a local golf place today and to put together a whole set it was going to be a lot... even used. Any opinions on the above 2 links?

Golf folks.... went to a local store today... even used equipment going to run me a lot. Deciding between these two sets, any advice? https://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Profile-Platinum-Package-Regular/dp/B07WVKRH26?ref_=ast_bbp_dp&th=1&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Ultra-Package-Handed-Regular/dp/B07WRCNZ3H?ref_=ast_bbp_dp&th=1&psc=1

So dicks has whole sets for a beginner for like 200 bucks new lol. Is there anything wrong with that for a few years?

I actually was looking online and see whole sets used on eBay for 2 or 300 bucks

Any golfers here have any suggestion on clubs for someone on a budget? I was looking on eBay and at used stuff.....is that a no go or?

Agree. In moderation and within limit, both can have positive effects. Like you said, the problem is, most or many do not use them sparingly. And as always, most folks pimp their substance as the best and it doesn’t hurt them it’s better etc etc. My guess is there will be pretty clear protocol within the next few years regarding driving while high. It really is no different than drinking and driving. If you are using marijuana, you should not be driving, period. Same with alcohol. Im not personally a marijuana user, but the lack of long term research about all these new forms of intake, and the general lack of long term substantiated research about it period would make me a bit uneasy.

Nope.... there is almost no disqualifying factors... marriage, moving out, etc etc. It was a pretty good gig honestly. I was prepared to have to come off in October when I got married... but both my wife and my insurance said it didn’t matter. We were good until 26

300 hmo 600 ppo. I looked into that as well. My wife has some weird conditions that she sees specialists for, so I’m not sure if that would be the best option for us, since she probably needs pretty consistent doctors visits. I mean, it’s pretty expensive either way... the damage is done with the cost of any plan lol... I guess it’s just choosing between various degrees of suck

So I have the pleasure of getting off my parents health insurance next month (turning 26) and am choosing between an hmo and ppo for myself and wife. Ive always has a ppo on my parents insurance, and that has worked well, especially when needing to see a specialist for various reasons. Im leaning ppo, any practical reasons not to do so? Its about 50$ more per pay period and co pays are 10$ higher

Hoping the warm temps keep up. Backyard is getting done this year. Putting loam down.... going to need a lot of it

Combination of temps and a newer home has done wonders for my heating expenses this year. Topped of our 500 gallon propane tank end of March last year (80% is considered full, due to expansion etc etc). So this winter we started at 80%... currently sit at 50% remaining as we approach March... highly doubt we go lower than 40% by the end of the “heating” season. Quick math based on what we’ve used and price we paid last March puts us at about 110$ a month to heat our home.... not bad

Yeah.... laughably expensive.... and I’m sure everyone wants wires and cords running all over the place
