Never seen anything like that around here, but they lost me at “the crew”.

And just like that, SKB delivers!

LOL! I just noticed the ship stick prices are each way. Holy Smokes! Anyway, this was a hats off to SKB thread.

Well, it wasn’t difficult flying with my clubs. Plus, I’m not sure you’re saving much if any money shipping clubs vs flying first class. Which i did. Heck, they treat you like a king. Grab your huge bag. Don’t even weigh it. Priority lines from check in, tsa, and boarding. I must have bypassed 100 people at the tsa scan alone. Probably another 30-50 at ticketing before that. Pretty sure l will never fly cheap again with golf clubs unless I’m forced to do so.

If I thin my 7w I get an extra 15 yards total but I lose 10+ of carry.

I didn’t read a large part of this thread. Yet I’m amazed by the idea that he’s boring. It’s not as if Scottie swings like Cucher, Azinger or Stricker. Those swings are very productive and boring. Scottie is the opposite.

Ha. I was going to a 3 day 36 hole per tournament. Probably overpacked. Had some gifts in there too. I smashed so much stuff in there because I was trying to take just one small duffle on board.

Obviously no trunk. But I’ll never be without a truck again. That said… I just rented a Ford expedition. Holy cow! 4 captains chairs, 3rd row for 3 more people. All 5 seats fold with the push of a button located just inside the rear hatch. 4 people and golf clubs galore. If we still had kids at home that would be a tempting option.

Tundra. Clubs + Zip carts. Still have room for 4 adults.

Funny, as I’d have expected the wheels to have been broken long before the handle. Regardless, SKB lifer now. Can’t imagine looking at another hard case for anything if SKB has an offering.

Ya, davep posted that earlier. Very helpful for the uneducated me.

On the return flight from Colorado a week ago, baggage tore a handle off of my travel bag. In their defense, the bag was heavy. Roughly 55lbs. Anyway, it’s gotta be 20 years old. SKB is sending 2 new handles free of charge! Thank you SKB! Great service!

I understand now. I’m not very bright but at least I’m a slow learner. For folks like me I’d probably have written your initial response differently. Perhaps… Unless the ball is completely out of bounds, it’s on the course. What part of the course is determined by what the ball is touching.

The ink is pretty faded.

I’ve come to appreciate the knowledge, expertise and enthusiasm by all that are willing to explain and defend the rules of golf. Thank you! I love golf. Yet I wish the game could be played as simply as it seemed. Hit it, find it, hole it. Repeat. I spent a large part of my professional career reading insurance contracts. Yet, the rules of golf seem more convoluted than any legal document I’ve ever analyzed. God bless you guys that can keep everything straight: Thanks again for your efforts:

And fwiw, I couldn’t get any of those links to work. Just a 404. I did consult the rules app and learned something today. Thanks again.

True. But if like me you didn’t know there was a different method to determine in bounds and in a pa you’re missing an important part. Simply touching a white line doesn’t matter. Touching a red line does.

Thank you. I understand that now. Yet none of it excuses the incorrect and conflicting statement made by intip. Touching the course clearly doesn’t mean the ball is always in the course. I appreciate learning the different definitions of a ball ob and in a pa. I was pretty sure the ball needed to entirely ob to be ob. I assumed the pa line was treated the same. Funny because the latter has never come up where it mattered in 45+ years. Perhaps everyone and I would take a hack at almost any ball just touching a red line. Unless it was in the mud… I don’t remember ever having an unplayable lie that was touching the line while still touching the course. Heck I’d probably swing at a mud ball too before I’d take a drop. But I digress.

Thanks . 2.2 helped. And in my initial question to antip, I mistakenly thought the definition of ob applied to all penalty lines.

So again, why is the statement I first questioned not in conflict? He said touching the course is on the course. Touching the pa is in the pa. I wasn’t questioning the rule. I was questioning antips statements.

I just reread the definition of penalty area. I’m feeling dense I guess. If marked by a line, the line is in penalty area. Is it not possible for a ball to be touching both the line and the course?

I thought a ball had to be completely in the penalty area to be in the penalty area. And I thought touching applied to every favorable position like, the green, fairway or course. Your 2 examples seem to be in conflict IMO.

That’s an unusual fairway.

I do love my sun mountain c130 with the extra Velcro straps on the back. They prevent my idiot friends from dumping my bag. And they keep my bag secure on my MGI zip.
