re: When did classroom Amazon and Target registries become a thing for teachers?
Posted by slinger1317 on 7/25/26 at 10:45 am to cbree88
I’ve got a few friends in FB that are elementary teachers. They post an Amazon wishlist every year and I always get around $100 for them.
I figure I waste enough money, at least this will actually go to help some kids

Would you stay in Galway 2 nights, drive up/down coast both days, then head back to Dublin? I dont see the point in staying 2 different places those 2 nights.
Yes no point in moving hotels just for a night. Get 2 nights at the Park House Hotel in Galway, sleep in your first morning, they have a great breakfast at the hotel. Explore Galway- Quay Street, listen to live music from buskers, eat a nice dinner. Get up early on morning 2 and head to the Cliffs. Try to get there by 9 am at the latest. Spend a couple hours around there then ease your way back towards Dublin. You can probably find some old castle ruins along the way to check out.

I have never filed a claim with them but I had them for Homeowners for a few years. After about year 3 their rates were significantly higher than the competition. But the first few years they were very competitive.

I would drive straight to Galway, spend the night, then go see the Cliffs of Moher.
On your way back to Dublin maybe take a southern route through Limerick and Kilkenny.
After the Cliffs my next rec would be to go to Dingle, but that may be a little out of your way to get back to Dublin that quickly.

I kinda like Fox. Dude just waddles up there and slaps it in like he’s at his local muni

But it's not part of the course
My argument is that it IS part of the course for this tournament.
It’s not part of the course next week but for the purpose of the tournament it should be treated as “in play”
My argument isn’t with you, but the application of the rule.
ETA- exactly what Pride said. A divot that has been there an hour is okay but a million dollar grandstand is considered temporary

Are you referring to the grandstands that weren't there in 2025?
It’s been there the entire tournament. It is part of the course so it shouldn’t be called a temporary obstruction.

Is this why every time they blast it into the trees in the forest at Augusta their next shot is almost always somehow in a good spot?
Yes. They have gotten way too liberal with application of free drops.
Hit it up against a grandstand and can’t make backswing? Well that grandstand wasn’t here in the 1800’s so let’s move your ball so you can chip it in and make birdie after hitting a terrible second shot.

think it’s the rule that’s pissing people off more than Scottie. It is very stupid.
This is my gripe. Doesn’t matter who the golfer is, but being its Scottie just makes the announcers gloss over it. Similar to Tiger treatment back in the day.
I think Bryson is a huge douche and he was fairly penalized, but if this was him on 17 they would have dug into the ruling a lot deeper.

If we are going to call out men’s soccer for the ridiculous flopping, then something also has to be said for this bullshite rule.
Way too many free reliefs in golf. You make a shitty shot you should have to deal with the shitty consequences.

And the announcer just gloss over it like it’s not even a thing. I hope Brandel does a deep dive into it and calls out the crazy rule.
But Scheffler is the anti Bryson/Rory so I guess he can do no wrong

Well he just hit it in the rough on 18. I’m sure there’s a rule that he can get free drop in the fairway.

It seemed like after he hit the shot that was “lost,” fans ran to gather around a spot where the ball was. How exactly was the ball lost? Even the announcer said the ball was located. Or am I missing something?

This has been my gripe with golf for a long time. They hit a shitty shot, get to move the ball to a better spot, and then get little or no penalty. The Macintyre deal a few years ago was a joke.
How about you hit a bad shot, then you deal with the consequences??

I wish the UK fans would absolutely slaughter Bryson all day. But apparently they have a little class.
After the way US fans acted at the Ryder Cup and the US Open this year, it’s only fair.
