Linking Consecutive but Separate Bookings?

As the title suggests, I'm wondering if this is still possible. I've read through older threads detailing guests doing this, but I'm curious to hear about some more recent data points.

Prior to the deval I booked a 2 night stay at The Beekman in December on points. My original plan was to do 2 days at The Beekman and then 2 days at PHNY. That said, the purpose of the trip is to celebrate a huge moment in our lives, so now that I've accrued some additional points I'm thinking about booking a 3rd night at The Beekman.

Do any of you have recent experience doing something similar? IF so, what should we expect and what is the best way to ensure the link is done properly? Are the top-tier hotels generally receptive to this kind of request. Thanks in advance!

What Ball Should I Be Gaming?

Like many of you, I've always played with balls I found on the course or balls that were gifted to me. However, I'd now like to find a ball that works best for me as I plan to play more often. I'm a 23M and play once a week as of current. Moving forward, I'd like to play twice a week including in more tournaments.

The obvious choice would be the Titleist left dash, however, I can't justify spending that much money on some balls... I've done some research and the Srixon Z-Star Diamond, Mizuno Pro X, and Callaway Chrome Soft have come up as good options for my profile. I've been using the Kirkland balls and they're good, however, there's something about them I don't like. Not entirely sure what, honestly. See below for some profile details. I'd appreciate any insight or alternative suggestions: 

Yardages: 

58 - 65-75 yds 
54 - 80-90 yds
50 - 105-115 yds
PW - 125-135 yds
9 - 145 - 150 yds
8 - 155 - 160 yds
7 - 165 - 170 yds
6 - 175 - 180 yds
5 - 185 - 190 yds
4 - 195 - 200 yds
4 HY - 205 - 215 yds
5W -  220 - 230 yds
DR - 250 - 270 yds

Context:

Handicap: 7
Shot Shape: Slight fade
Ball Flight: High 
Driver Swing Speed: 104-108 mph
Strengths: Irons/Putting
Weakness: Wedge distance control

Which Carry Bag Should I Buy?

My current Titleist stand bag is giving out on me and I’m looking to upgrade. I’m cheap on myself so this will be the first time I buy a new bag. I’ve researched all the top bags and I’ve narrowed the list down to these 4. I’m not interested in any of the Ogio, *Ping*, or Titleist stand bags as they’re basically the same as what I have right now.

For context:

I play mostly in the NE between March - November so I need the bag to be durable and functional in variable weather conditions. Additionally, I’d like for the bag to be considered presentable as I do play in several tournaments throughout the season. Utility wise, I walk as much as I can, so I need the bag to be comfortable.

I play Mizuno’s so the Mizuno Pro is a natural choice, however I haven’t heard too much about their bags. Unsurprisingly, I’m attracted most by the Vessel bag but the price tag is very steep. The GFore bag seems like a great middle ground, although reviews are not as extensive.

Considering build quality, durability, and use for a 23M golfer, what would you guys suggest?

Edit: Should be titled *STAND* bag

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to buy a pair of tickets for a Rosalía concert to surprise my wife. I’m looking at either 06.17 or 06.18 at MSG. This will be a gift to celebrate an important achievement of hers, so I want to ensure I get the right tickets.

I’d like tickets in the 100’s section. On the resale sites, I see the bottom tickets around $480. Some of them are labeled as great value, but relative to retail value they seem expensive. I’ve read a lot of your previous posts and I see a common strategy is to wait until a few days before the concert as many tickets open up.

However, I know that it is largely venue and artist-dependent. Do you all think it would make sense to buy now or wait to get them? Happy to hear any thoughts.
