This is what I mean by not understanding economics...

The ones who say 'pricing effectively' are wrong, and don't understand the economy or the law.

Agree. Not about scarcity... this is a stock-out, not a supply shortage. There is plenty of TP in the world. Unusual spikes in demand for the very short run are creating inventory management problems. Once that's sorted out everything will be back to normal.

Campus Reform? Talk about pushing an agenda...

Even here, people are flocking to restaurants and bars right up until the ban goes into effect. I think attitudes are influenced (even subconsciously) by the message that it's no big deal for healthy people. People hear "this probably won't kill you" and think "I'm not at risk". There are a...

I don't understand the fixation with comparing this to the seasonal flu? It's not the seasonal flu. The CDC has a great graphic comparing seasonal illness to pandemic illness - check it out. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/basics/about.html

I don't think it will have the same appeal in the fall. In the spring people are excited about golf, the changing seasons, and the Masters capitalizes on that.

I have full swing yardages down to about 70 yards (lob wedge). By full swing, I mean a comfortable swing, I'm not usually going 100% with a wedge. I'm just saying I'm not purposefully trying to restrict anything. Less than 70 yards is just feel to me, because you need different shots to react...

I'm not seeing it. I think any widespread economic downturn would be bad for golf. The risk of infection is only part of the equation. If businesses close, consumer spending declines, and the market tanks, people will be squeezed financially. Seems unlikely to me that people would be looking...

I don't think that's true. If you're requiring a tee shot, a layup, and an approach shot, you've effectively changed the hole into a par 5. Therefore a bogey golfer should expect to score 6, not 5, on this hypothetical par 4. Forcing a bogey golfer to play for doubles on most holes sounds...

I understand it for the pros - they're so good with routine bunker shots. Usually they're taking that bet vs. laying up and trying to get up and down from the fairway. I'll bet my up/down percentage from 50 yards and a fairway lie is very similar to my chances from most bunkers. So for me, it...

What?

Depending on the yardage I think par 3's can be the most difficult greens to hit on the course. They're usually longer than your typical par 4/5 approach shot, and the greens are better protected. If I have a short iron in hand, I'm looking for par and the middle of the green. If I'm hitting...

The common link between Kaepernick and Piercy is how their public image reflects on their sponsors. Nike thinks Kaepernick is sending the kind of message they want to associate with, and Titleist thinks Piercy's message is damaging. These are business decisions, made by companies trying to...

Hard to argue hypotheticals, but that's not necessarily true. High profile athletes can be even more damaging to a brand when they screw up. There have been some big names dropped recently because of stuff like this. That said, the top players usually land on their feet, and get new deals...

The rules are different for historically marginalized communities.

Same reason I don't pull it for chips - very unlikely that I'll make from long range - even more unlikely that my putt will hit the hole and be rejected by the stick. I'm pulling it for anything that I expect (i.e. >50%) to go in.

I don't think I'd buy another set just to have two sets, but I do hang on to some clubs I replace. They might make their way back into the bag for a travel round or a change of pace. Next time you get new irons, just keep your current set around.

1 - No. I never saw any quantifiable improvement. I had better success with lessons and my existing equipment. 2 - No difference between existing and fitted equipment - ended up keeping what I had. 3 - G400 Max is a great head - arguably the best they've done. If you like the look of...

At crowded times it's really more of a 'warm-up' green than a 'practice' green. Good place to hit a couple of putts and get a feel for speed, but you can't really park it and practice your three footers. I don't see a problem with putting to the same hole. There's a lot of golfers and a few...
