On the topic of buying a new car - has anyone had any experience recently with obtaining "very well qualified" buyer status to get a favorable APR? Going to have to replace my wife's 15 year old car pretty soon. Normally wouldn't consider buying a new car, but if I can get a 1.9% rate its hard to pa...

Appreciate it. Turns out it doesn't matter anyways, the one night we are staying at the Beau there is tournament the next two days. Talk about great timing..... Guess we will just have to sub in Shells landing. Playing the Preserve and Grand Bear for the other two rounds. ...

Quick question regarding Fallen Oak - say two of us are staying at the casino one night to play the course the next day. Could we book a tee time for four people, and have two people not staying at the casino play with us? ...

Piggy backing off of this thread for some suggestions on hotel stays. Getting married in February, and we have decided to do our honeymoon in Cabo. We don't plan on doing too many excursions, mostly relaxing, drinking by the pool, spa days for the soon to be wife, and a round of golf or two for myse...

Can Confirm this. For purely a golf trip, Horseshoe Bay was fun. We did an Unlimited Golf Package, and you can get your money's worth easily if you want to play a lot of golf. We did 5 rounds in 3 days, and their 18 hole putting course two nights. The putting course was fun for evening drinking and ...

Hughies on Main St. is a very casual and reasonably priced Vietnamese restaurant/bar. Love their banh mi's. Good for draft beers mostly, and probably a few wines. If you're looking for cocktails, this won't be your place. ...

I refuse to play golf with one of my best friends because he cheats his arse off, and acts like a child when you call him on it. I haven't blatantly told him to his face why I am always "busy" when he asks me to play because there is no use. I truly don't enjoy myself when we are out there togethe...

I've been watching some Martin Chuck videos recently. I like the way he talks about grip, hopefully it helps a little. Fast forward to around 2 min mark where he starts breaking down grip https://youtu.be/E4_pbLiKdEk...

I am in the Heights and work off Dairy Ashford exit in Energy Corridor. Not ideal locations for being able to go after work and getting some practice/ quick holes in. For me, Riverbend and Pine Forest seem to be very good deals for what you'll get out of a membership. ...

Any Houston guys on here that can comment on Northgate CC courses and practice facilities? I haven't met anyone who as played the course. I requested their membership info out of curiosity and their dues seem like a hell of a deal. ...

I can only speak for Branson- we take a trip there every year. Buffalo Ridge was a blast for our group. We decided to replay it after our first round we had so much fun. Top of the Rock is pricey, but a fun to play once. All par 3 course with really cool views/driving range/ and restaurant are...
