A couple of days ago I posted about my problems I’d had with Comcast’s customer service. They’d shut my old phone off two days before the new one was to be turned on, and weren’t going to do anything to help me out.
After that bad experience I thought “To hell with them. I’ll post about it on my golf blog and let about 200,000 people a month read it.” I did just that.
Within 24 hours I got a phone call from the local Comcast supervisor who was apologizing profusely about their errors. She told me that they intended to tell their employees the proper way to handle this type of situation and they’d also clarify what the original person did wrong. Then she offered me a free month of all my services, which amounts to probably $150. I thanked her and told her I thought that was a good and appropriate gesture for my trouble.
I felt it to be fair to write this post since Comcast did make good on their errors. Was it my previous HOG post which triggered the call? Perhaps.
My home course, River Oaks, is in for some changes in a year or so… Check out this beautiful mock-up of what #1 fairway will look like when the power company adds a freaking 120 foot pole in the middle of it. Nice…NOT
I’m still in the midst of moving HOG world headquarters. My lifeline to the web is still at my old location so I’m not able to blog as much until my service provider switches me over…
Oh and happy American Easter. I’m Greek, and my Easter isn’t until next month.
I’m moving to a condo about 300 yards down the street from my soon to be former house. The condo is bigger and nicer inside and I won’t have to shovel any more snow or do the lawn. I’d much rather spend my time doing other things, if you know what I mean. 🙂
Yes I’ll no longer be 54 yards from the first tee but I’ll still be walking distance to the course.
Quick quiz: Which one of these pictures is a Sasquatch?
Nike has been working on a new driver. (Who hasn’t?) Their code name for the new driver was “Sasquatch.” Apparently Sasquatch is no longer a code name, it’s the production name. There’s a little preview of an ad for the Sasquatch driver on the Nike site.
Now, Nike knows just a tiny bit more about marketing than me I’ll admit, but this is a terribly dumb name for a driver. What’s next? “Hey Bob, check out ‘Nessie’ my new Nike Loch Ness Monster driver!”
