One of the best restaurants in my city is famous for this. Sometimes it's like 45 minutes. I rarely anymore (pre-virus) because of it.

It's my assertion that anyone who doesn't repair a ball mark should get rapped in the shin with the blade of a sand wedge.

I stand for what is just and right!

Every time I play golf, I repair about 5 ball marks on every green.  They are everywhere.

Damn you, Costco!

I sometimes have to force myself to leave Lowe’s/Home Depot because I find myself browsing the aisles just LOOKING for something I could use. 

Harbor Freight is a black hole. Much discipline required.

I tell my wife, "I could build that for you that if I had one of those."
She says, "Well, why don't you just buy it then."
I say, "Well, okay, if you think I should.....'' ?

I don't really like those places at all. I look at everything they sell and I see work, not fun. There's nothing at those places I want. Sure, there's stuff I need, but nothing I want.

Tools are my thing. There's nothing more satisfying than having the right tool for the job. The issue is even though I foresee needing a particular tool maybe twice in the next 5 years, I still have to fight the urge to buy it. It's almost obsessive. Plus, who doesn't like the smell of cut lumber?

You should take the time to talk with the Ryobi sales babe. She's genetically modified or something, it'll change your mind.

Are you saying she has all the rights tools to do the job?

She has tools I'm very familiar with, but I've never seen such incredibly designed and well built versions.

You should have witnessed my inner turmoil when I spotted a very nice bow saw while walking through a flea market. It was quality. I tried manfully to convince myself that I could use it to prune back the larger branches of my Crepe Myrtle and...nothing else. But it was quality! Maybe I could find something to cut. I still regret not buying that saw so it could sit unused in my garage.

I do like a well balanced set.  Was this model designed for comfort or high performance?
