Yeah, 2018 I believe but I had either missed it or forgot.
Went when the PGA Championship was here (and go every other year or so to the Wells Fargo Championship). It's a great course.
The PGA Championship was definitely a class above so I'm looking forward to the PC. Definitely going at least once when individual day tickets go on sale.

yeah, i hadn't been to the Wells in a minute, but did got to the PGA 3 days...final round, 2nd round, and practice round.

lots of fun. and i've been to two US Opens, and hte Masters, and it may be homerish, but i had more fun at that PGA c'ship....well, maybe not as much fun as the Pinehurst US open in 14....that was a reall good time too.

Masters is still my favorite for the overall experience. But, liked Pinehurst (also there in '14). It was not as pretty as others but a great course layout. And I am definitely partial to Quail Hollow

I have certainly heard of Dave but haven't read anything. This is well stated. I don't have a problem with a guy who apparently experienced something that wasn't good financially, learned from it, and is teaching others. If people weren't happy from his teaching, then he wouldn't be successful.

I don't get people *****ing all over Dave Ramsey. I don't agree with a lot of what he says, or his occasional drop into politics, and I don't love the money making side of his business. All that said, he provides a simple step by step way of getting your financial house in order. You don't need to pay 200 bucks for a seminar in order to listen to his radio show and get motivated to pay off debt and save money.

I think you should stop listening to him for investment advice once you get past the no nonmortgage debt step and you max out your IRA/401k with index funds. But what percentage of people are at that point who listen to Dave's show?

I have friends here that started listening to Dave Ramsey and paid off $300K in three years. Not even kidding.

Charlotte couple pays off $300,000 in debt in three years. Hereā€™s how they did it

Masters can be all about how you do it. Having been fortunate to attend several times, some trips were much better than others depending on which tournament day you go, weather, etc.

Lucked into clubhouse passes on Saturday in 2017 and I do not believe I will ever be able top the experience of having cocktails inside of clubhouse in the same room as green jackets. Beyond bucket list moment for me.

I appreciate the nostalgia of Pinehurst #2, but find it a bit overrated as a golfer.

yeah, nothing beats the "experience" at Augusta. very nostalgic. not great from a viewership standpoint....really hard to keep up with what's going on elsewhere on the course....but totally worth going at least once. bucket list item, glad i got to do it.

on the flip side, Pinehurst was the opposite of that. i sat in the grand stands at 4 green, 5 tee, and right across the small pond was 6 green...beer stand right behnid us...lol. got to see a TON of golf there...really cool.

went to Oakmont a couple years ago....very nice, but weird lay out with the bridge over the interstate, so basicallly, pick a side (front or back) and you pretty much stay unless you want to be hearded like cattle across that bridge. but nice course, and the up hill on 18 with the bunkers on either side of the fairway....very intimidating......lol.

yeah, i didn't like a lot of the changes they made to pinehurst, i think they "tried too hard" with it. but still got to see a lot of great golf.

for the masters, jmo, but i think going for the practice rounds is the way to go. you get the "experience" of augusta, and you get some cool interaction from the players, and you can go home and watch the whole tournament on TV and keep up with everything.

that said, i woudln't turn down sunda clubhouse passes either..........lol.

This. I always like to be at home on Sunday afternoon. Not many things in life are better than the leaders making the turn on Sunday at Augusta.

When the Chinesse, Russians or some other state actor hack our banking networks, you will regret not buying gold and guns.
