@fried_egg_golf @BrendanPorath @AndyTFE Makes the Aiken/Columbia area clubs even more attractive…you can add on a round at Broomsedge or Candyroot while having a place to call home.

Broomsedge is entering a partnership to create a “welcoming private club” model.
@AndyTFE has more on how the club is expanding its approach to outside play.

@JStewGolf I would complain about having bunkers in the range as a former bag room employee.

@Top100Rick 225 yards off the tee,been here 19 years, extremely rare to have a ball hit the house. Knock on wood but we don’t see as much action as you would think, neither does my neighbor just short of us. Benefits far outweigh the negatives. People that complain would complain regardless

I swear, the dumbest people buy houses on golf courses.
No hate to those who own these houses and accept the obvious risk.
But people who buy a house in the hitting zone and expect to never be hit just astound me.
I honestly question realtors who sell these homes. Did they really explain the risks? Because you’d have to be insane to buy a house on the right side of the driving zone on any golf course.
Also, most don’t know they, but most of the time you don’t need to fix ball damage on a house as a golfer. You should, as a good person, but you don’t have to.

Dear @SouthwestAir: Your new seating rules and boarding procedures are a DISASTER.
Boarding is chaos. Deboarding is even worse. Your new boarding order leads to front bins being filled by back seaters before longtime A-Listers even board. This leads to madness upon deboarding as people go against the flow of traffic to get the carry-ons they had to stash 20 rows behind them.
And because you no longer allow two bags to be checked for free, there are way more carry-ons, which only leads to longer boarding and deboarding times.
There’s simply no reason to fly Southwest anymore. You don’t have the lowest fares. Miles and status don’t matter because of how badly you dorked up boarding. And the service quality has gone waaaaay down, with fun and cheery flight attendants being replaced by nasty, bossy cranks with bad attitudes.
It doesn’t have to be this way. You used to be the best. You should go back to doing the things that made Southwest different and great.

@GolfCourseGurus @putt4dough24 @CPATaxTeam @DonaldRossSocie @PinehillsCCWI Since your visit a lot has changed…look at the PH Instagram page…tons of tree work, specifically on 18. Last fall we do a renovation to 16 which was one of the smallest greens with very few pin locations. Green expansion on 10…pretty much on the natural grade.

@Keith_A_Robel @putt4dough24 @CPATaxTeam @DonaldRossSocie @PinehillsCCWI Having played it so much, I'm sure you can deliver some insight. I played it in May 2014. My understanding is that Drew Rogers came in and did some work. What things stood out to you as the biggest improvements he made? I'd like to revisit.

@Top100Rick Try RTG Golf and Travel…Tom Kozlak…been on 4-5 trips through him…he crushes it!
English
Help! 🙏
Anyone know any tours that still have guaranteed Old Course tee times this year?
I have a friend trying to arrange a big trip and can’t find one. He’s willing to spend money.
It’s a once in a lifetime trip for him, so any help is appreciated!

@jliebertgolf @putt4dough24 @GolfCourseGurus @CPATaxTeam @DonaldRossSocie @PinehillsCCWI All but #6 are original…Ron Forse did an exceptional job blending that green in when we re-routed that hole. Some minor expansions over the years in other places. 16 had a significant expansion this fall…time will tell but it feels like we nailed it.
English
@putt4dough24 @GolfCourseGurus @CPATaxTeam @DonaldRossSocie @PinehillsCCWI The nice thing about the greens, and Keith could help us here, im not sure they have ever been touched before. It’s something that us nerds dream of seeing. Greens that actually have curves and details to them
English
@GolfCourseGurus @putt4dough24 @CPATaxTeam @DonaldRossSocie @PinehillsCCWI I would be in @putt4dough24 camp…if you don’t see that when you play, you shouldn’t be making lists.
English
@GolfCourseGurus @putt4dough24 @CPATaxTeam @DonaldRossSocie @PinehillsCCWI I’ve played PH over 1000 times, the greatness of the greens is in the variability from day to day depending on the pin locations. The internal contours, the approach design for the best angles, and the aggressive/conservative lines of putting that exist are hard to match.

@1beardedgolfer The Cairn was without a doubt, the weakest attempt at a short course in golf…the resort should be ashamed at how poorly it was done…no wonder they don’t charge for it.

@scoofy @bschneider126 501c7’s can have 15% non-member income but that has historically been used on Monday outings and F&B events (weddings, etc.) but it would likely be better for clubs to use it on a few extra tee times a week…at almost zero cost to the club…no extra staff, no real COGS on golf.
English
@bschneider126 The Scottish Model is easier on a tax structure basis. 501(c)7s can't advertise, can't accept levels of outside funding. Non-501's are taxed as private businesses. UK lets you have members with non-taxed dues and stuff, and then allows visitors to play, and their money is taxed.

In golf development, it’s a shame that the “Ohoopee model” has gained significant traction while the “Scottish model” is only rarely pursued.

@ryancavengolf Don’t cram extra golf in on the big days…enjoy the full day of the Old Course or Muirfield or North Berwick. I personally would avoid the more modern courses (Kingsbarns, etc.) even though some are good golf, you’re there for the old school stuff that will stick with you.

Forbes says Elon Musk is worth $500 billion. But, if he were to sell all his assets, he must pay 20% cap gains and a 3.8% NIIT. So the breakdown is this.
Elon Musk = $381 billion
Federal Govt = $119 billion

As golf course design has moved into its tree removal era…will there be a backlash?
Seemingly every new design is wide and sandy, no trees in play, wild greens. Every renovation involves removing trees.
I’m not saying that’s bad, but is a return to tree golf inevitable?
