Seen above is the exact breakdown (minus Michigan's 6% sales tax) for every club I've purchased in the pursuit of the $50 Thrift Store Challenge.  In the spirit of said Challenge, the goal is to assemble a USGA tournament-legal set of 14 clubs.  For the sheer novelty of the thing, I'd love to try and use the Spalding 1 Iron, and a putter is a wise choice to have, so that leaves 12 other clubs to choose from - 8 of which will be irons, at the clubs highlighted the clubs least 1 of which will be a wedge, and the remainder will be drivers, woods, and hybrids.

Above, I've got the clubs highlighted in different colors.  As it sits right now, the reds are mandatory.  The rest of the colors are "choose one from each category."

The Melon Heads of Felt Mansion

The Melonheads of Saugatuck Dunes are a truly unique bit of local lore and urban legend. While most urban legends have a grain of truth in them, my research into the Melonheads has turned up many dead-ends and false leads. Here's what we know for sure: Felt Mansion was built by Dorr E. Felt, a wealthy businessman from Chicago, situated on Shore Acres Farm (present location of Saugatuck Dunes State Park). Within a few days of being completed in 1928, Agnes Felt passed away. Within a year and a half, Dorr Felt himself passed away, in 1930. This is all freely available information from Allegan County.

By 1962, cloistered nuns moved in, and a boarding school was established. This is all verifiable by Archdiocese of Chicago records, and by yearbooks, available at Herrick District Library in Holland. The Seminary was closed and the property was sold t...

XFinity Sucks. Or, Why I'm Excited For Holland BPW Fiber To Come Through Our Neighborhood

 The whole thing started in October - we hit the data cap for our XFinity plan in 2 or 3 days. I didn't know we had a data cap on our XFinity plan, so I was befuddled. Problem is, you can't just call XFinity, you must escalate your ticket up their chain of command: Start with their AI chatbot, escalate to a human typing on the other end of the chatroom, get transferred to an AI phone operator, escalate that to any number of human phone operators. Somewhere in that initial escalation, they discovered that we weren't on an actual plan from them, and the services we had weren't even offered by them anymore - our account had slipped through the cracks. Their "solution" to the massive data leak was to give sell us the premium tier service with no data cap...which didn't actually solve anything, it just passed the buck down the road. By October 6 or 7, we had blown through another terrabyte of data, so I reached out to Customer Service agai...
