  1. Community call with Aaron Luttrell from Titleist tonight! Super excited about that and for those looking there is another little surprise we dropped today (little early). Pumped to have Stix on board this week for member testing as they are a great brand that offers a different product. Not to mention a product that has been requested nearly more than any other. Full sets - big thanks to Stix and looking forward to see who signs up and ultimately how they perform!

  2. Top of the morning to you all! What a spectacle it is here this morning! We had no more of the white stuff and we woke up today and everything is covered. -5C with a big wind that bring the feeling temperature to -14C Also amazing to hear 2 more testing opportunities. The staff at the top is really the best. In other news, sadly I haven’t been to decide yet between Link and DF3 Have a great day spies.

  3. Good Thursday morning All! More awesome testing opportunities provided by the MGS staff from Stix and Titleist Vokey! Just keeps getting better... Enjoying my ritual sausage biscuits and coffee before heading out for the weekly battle of the Seniors. After missing last week, I am looking forward to engaging in some fun competition and serious trash talking... Hope everyone has a great day and gets the opportunity to enjoy some activity.

  4. Morning All, Here I am once again sitting still on 64 due to another vehicle fire on the other side of the tunnel. These moments aren’t fun, but this one doesn’t like it will take long to clear since it isn’t a semi truck this time. Funny that I’m in the same spot as I was last week. Hopefully on my way home I can jump on the community call. Hope everyone has a great day.

  6. Good morning all, gonna try and get on the community call tonight provided nothing else pops up. Some more great testing opportunity from the mods who are smashing it so far this year. Keep up the good work @SDunne hope you have a great Anzac Day. There is a commemoration service here today at Westminster Abbey in acknowledgement of those that served

  7. Good morning and happy Thursday to everyone. Got the lawn mowed yesterday so the jungle has been cut back for a while. Soccer game tonight with temps in the low 60s with hopefully no wind. But first, a day of work. Have a great day spies!

  8. Good morning all! Cold morning right now at about 26 F so a nice strong frost this morning. Feels a bit late for it, but hopefully the next couple mornings get some of the bugs and keeps them at bay a bit longer. Yesterday some small silicon oven mitts that just cover the fingers. Our 2 year old absolutely loved them and kept them on for almost and hour pretending they were puppets or that she had claws. It was hilarious. Have a great Thursday everyone!

    Good morning Spies on a record setting low temperature Motor City Community Call morning. Awesome opportunities for the members here from Stix and Titleist Vokey thanks to the efforts of the MGS staff and these club manufacturers. Looking forward to seeing the comments and reviews of those who are selected. Warming up later today, and the NFL Draft is live from downtown Detroit later this evening. Hopefully the city showcases itself well to those in attendance and watching it unfold on television. Hope your day is the best it can be, that something fun and enjoyable is in your plans, and looking forward to seeing many on the community call later today.

  10. My wife just got off the phone with our pediatrician and there was nothing alarming to him based on the lab results for our youngest. I can now breathe again and enjoy the day. Thanks for the individual responses, guys. I again just can't state enough how appreciative I am of this community. It feels like an extension of family, and it is what makes me truly love this place!

  11. Good chilly Thursday morning fellow spies! Nice hot cup of Earl Grey with just a touch of honey is knocking back the wake up 39deg brrrrrrr! League play last night... will definitely NOT be in third place after what was probably the worst round of 9 holes this year so far. The only thing working was my putting: 19 putts in 9 holes, so I can't complain there! It just took me forever to GET to the green! My partner didn't fair much better. It was chalked up to "we had a great time in each other's company!" We were paired with a group of young men from one of the local high school teams, and I am very happy to say, the future of golf looks very bright! They were both very respectful and could seriously hit! I definitely felt all of my 60 years of age! I'm on the left: my partner Rich who plays with me in league on the right. Back to work on the approach game... I hope everyone has an incredible Thursday and hope golf figures into your plans! Hit 'em straight MGS Nation!

  13. Good morning MGSpies from frosty (it's 25F here) clear and bright WNY on this Community Call Thursday warming up after having to start MyGolfSpouse's vehicle (I am the remote starter) to clear windows of frost more inside than out with the heat though outside was scraping growing frost crystals coffee magic warming me up under my electric lap blanket in the basement workplace for this zero commute workday great to see the new testers wanted notice up, so much going on and glad to have got out in yesterday's rain for another 9 holes with Justin @just52887 at an 80 minute round pace under umbrellas (can you believe we only saw 2 others on the course? private golf course experience indeed!), we will likely be connecting into the call again today from the second 2/3rds of the golf course so those who cannot get out today yourself can do so vicariously hope golf is a part of your day 34

  14. Good morning spies! A nice day today with highs in the low 60s. Rain is expected for tomorrow, so maybe I can get lucky and sneak out and hit some balls tonight. If I'm really lucky, maybe my wife will go out with me to hit the range. Always a nice way to spend time together. Other than that, not much going on today. I hope you all have a thriving Thursday!

  17. A good morning to all on a lovely sunny morning. Enjoying my morning espresso catching up on the pages of threads. @GolfSpy_APH wasn’t kidding when he said a big testing opportunity was coming up. Will they set a record for sign ups? Will the servers keep up? Moving a little slowly this morning. Where’s that tin man oil when you need it.

  18. Morning all, Good news, the nasty lump on Mosley's ear is bengin. Since he is a boxer, seeing hard bumps give me anixety, but we got good news and were given meds, so it should get better. I also got to play 18 holes yesterday, and did not play well but did get to play so that was good. @GolfSpy_KFT sorry to hear about the kids getting sick. Praying for a quick recovery. Also in my opinion, rant away. We all need a place to put some frustations into. If you ever need a ear to bend, feel free to reach out. I hope everyone has a happy Thirsty Thursday! Hit 'em straight! BE THE BLESSING!

  19. Good morning fellow spies and happy Thursday. Looks to be a nice sunny day here today with highs in the low 60s. Had our second baseball practice last night which my son unfortunately had to miss due to a case of pink eye. Sounds like it is going around in his classroom so no real surprise he picked that up. Already started eye drops and he should be able to go to school tomorrow. His birthday is Saturday (turning 7) and we are planning on going to a waterpark hotel Sunday and both boys will get the day off school Monday. Our youngest has some sort of nasty upper respiratory infection it seems like with gunky coughs and a plugged up nose, so hoping he feels better by then. He had also been getting one random fever a week (except this week) for the last probably month or so that wouldn't even last a full day and then be gone. We took him in to see the pediatrician yesterday in regards to that and now whatever he's dealing with, and he ordered some lab work to be precautionary. We of course were his last patient of the day yesterday, so while we've gotten all the lab results back, we haven't heard from him yet on any kind of diagnosis. @cnosil I think this discussion came up before with being able to get lab results back so quickly as a blessing and a curse. Having a very basic understanding of some of this is also a blessing and a curse. All of his blood cell counts look normal, which should be a good sign. He did have some elevated outcomes and some low outcomes, so those are what are weighing on our minds currently. I am anxiously awaiting hearing something back from his pediatrician, and it is going to be a long day until we do. Hopefully it'll be this morning at a reasonable time. Sorry to rant on about all that, I just really appreciate the community support of this forum. Going to be a fantastic community call today, but I am going to be leaving work early this afternoon to stay in line with my weekly hours and hopefully plan on getting the boys out onto the golf course, so will have to miss out. Hope everyone has a great day today.

  21. Happy Thursday morning…one day closer to the weekend. My goal is to start making the community call more frequently, even if it is only for a little bit. Looks like an exciting topic for today’s call.

  22. High sixties today with some wind and cloud cover, but it's the first night of golf league!!!!! The work has been paying off, and I was hitting a nice high draw with driver on the range last night. If I can bring that to the course at all it's gonna surprise the guys on my team.

  23. Good morning, everyone I hope that some joy finds your day and fills you with emphasis. So I just tried using a chat gpt feature that posts a good morning script, and that is what popped out. Today is benefit tournament day for the angel house which provides support. Send help for those in need. I was fortunate enough to be selected to play in it with a few co-workers As it is a department sponsored event. Wish me luck out there. @CSiders12 You have our deepest condolences. Prayers and thoughts for you and the family. @buckpillar Don't you know that b m w means bring more wallet, at least in the motorcycle world. how'd you pull that off? @GolfSpy_KFT. Congratulations!

  25. Good morning everyone! It's crazy to wake up and see two amazing member testing opportunities from Vokey and Stix. The forum staff are really killing it this year! I might be able to listen in on the community call this evening, I've got to do yard work in a bad way and can't put it off any longer. The yard is looking like a jungle and driving me nuts. I hope you all have a great Thursday!

    Morning all, It's ANZAC day here in Australia. A day we celebrate all that Australian and New Zealand forces have done in keeping us safe. The date comes from the 25 April 1915 when Allied forces landed at Gallipoli and is a public holiday here. It's a solemn day and had me up early for a dawn service where they celebrate at the sunrise and sunset to give thanks to all those who have served and serve. It's always nice to celebrate for me as my Grandfather fought in WWII and my brother is in the RAF currently. Even got the chance to buy a former Navy officer a coffee before the service which in my days before kids would have been buying them a beer in the pub later in the day! Hope everyone has a wonderful day and take the chance to reach out and thank someone in the forces if you can!

  28. Good morning everyone and happy Community Call Thursday. Excited to be on the call today even if it is only for a short stint. Have my soccer game at 3:30 so probably only get to be connected for 15-20 minutes. Been a great year for testing opportunities and it's only April. We still have 7 more months of exciting news ahead! Hope everyone has a great day and see some of you later this afternoon.

    Good morning! It has been a busy week (and will continue to be through a big meeting in NYC a week from today followed by my first Kentucky Derby). Already reviewed/revised an NDA this morning before taking a quick break to jump on MGS. Hope everyone has a great day!

  31. Good morning Spies! It is a sunny frosty morning in CNY. Two cuppas down. Blueberry protein pancakes in my belly and a 10:10 am tee time scheduled. SWMBO has a waterproof arm cover and will try some pool exercises today. She has been out of the pool for 4 weeks today. She really misses it. I’m happy for her. It’s her “golf course”. @GolfSpy_KFT hope your boys feel better soon. Great test opportunities appeared this morning and looking forward to the Community Call this afternoon. I actually have to remember that it is on. Wishing all a wonderful day!

  32. Good morning, golfers. The weatherman said no rain until 2:00, but I am sitting here watching it rain instead of teeing off. Not all bad, because we need the rain and being retired, I can play tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great day.

  37. Good Morning Spies, Was frosty on the way in to work today, but getting warmer later, still only about 50 today. Is actual golf weather EVER going to come (and stay) here in the midwest? Still early spring, but still want what we want, right? Cheers and hit em straight if you can.

  38. Good morning! Signed up for a little putting clinic this morning at the country club my fiancé and I joined recently. Quick little one hour lesson teaching the basics and a little aim point. Really excited to get some proper feedback. I’ve never done any lessons for putting since I’ve spent my lesson times hitting irons mostly and been going with point and pray on my putts. wish me luck.

  39. Yeah... That's what happens when I try to be productive and get things done ahead of time. There will be a good portion that still receive it as Stix, but with the distribution taking several hours there will be many with SM10. Annoying, but now I know better for next time.

  40. So while I fully realize it is no longer even close to the morning, I'm still posting here today! Been a busy start to the day and about two hours ago my day got a WHOLE LOT BETTER! As I posted yesterday, I won a giveaway during Masters week for some amazing headcovers from CMC. I won those by making the correct selection of Scottie at -11, and then a random draw from those who had the same. I also won a giveaway from a small Lefties golf page for a hat and a glove, and just found out today that I won a COBRA Darkspeed Season Opener Edition Driver! I was one of three individuals to again pick Scottie at -11. Three golf balls were put into a bag with our names written on them and mine was pulled. To say I am ecstatic is an understatement! It's going to be such a good looking club that I think I'll have a hard time playing it, but that line of drivers has been so dang good that I'm going to have no choice but to give it a whirl. What a day!

  42. Happy April 25 everyone... the Perfect Date!! Today is a little cooler than yesterday's 72º; clouds rolling in. Might need a light jacket. Thinking of a bathroom remodel, so headed out today to look at options. Otherwise, just usual stretches and workout routine and short game work. Hope you have a great Thursday and gear up for a fantastic weekend!!

  43. Yes, one of the testing requirements is to see if you can destroy your DF3. I think @GolfSpy SAMshould evaluate it with his since he has a 2.1 to fall back on

  45. While I was only a spectator working the tournament yesterday, I did capture a few pics when setting up the hole markers and banners. Sunrise and full moon opposite my position at the same time. Found the albino fox squirrel! And this other one was feisty today!

  47. Well, we have our first copy-cat color. I took a family poll with my wife and kids and the clear winner was blue (it’s also my favorite color in general!). The only non-blue vote was my wife choosing pink, which made me laugh out loud thinking about @Cfhandyman‘s wife stealing his putter if he chose pink! Our LAB fitter answered all of my questions and really helped guide me to something I should be comfortable with right away. In my fitting video, I was using a standard putter, but my gamer putter is armlock. Having not used a standard putter in a year for a single putt, I was holding the standard putter armlock-ish. This lead to some funky initial fitting measurements (32.5” long & 70* lie). We landed on the counterbalance option so I could have the grip and feel of the armlock without being an armlock putter and without the putter being abnormally short. Below are my specs as submitted including the final alignment design: Hand: RIGHT Putting style: COUNTERBALANCED [ $70.00 ] Head weight: HEAVIER Shaft: L.A.B. Golf x TPT Shaft Long [ $399.00 ] Shaft length: 37″ Lie angle: 70 Putter color: DF3 Blue Alignment mark: I & X with line along the back of putter Grip Selection: Garsen Quad Tour 17″ For the alignment aid, I went with the two lines (option I), the LAB logo (option X) and a line down the back because it’s a shoutout to LAB while still having lines from front to back. It also reminds me of a hammer for some reason, which I like. Let me know what you think!

  48. If I'm going with current PGA Tour players I think Kitayama. Not even because he has some sort of attitude or anything, but because he has burned me so many times during Fantasy Golf that it just makes it hard to route for.

  49. Good morning Spies! Opened the Forum this morning to see two more AWESOME testing opportunities. Shoutout to the mods for all their hard work and continuing to bless us! I haven't heard much about Stix but am intrigued to learn more. SM10s are the pinnacle of wedges! Good luck to all applying to both opportunities! Another cooler day in Chicago with no real plans on the agenda outside of work. Should be able to join the Community Call this afternoon as long as nothing unexpected pops up. Will be great to hear from Aaron at Titleist Vokey about all the ins and outs of the gold standard of wedges. Hoping to catch some of the Zurich today. The format isn't for everyone, but I do enjoy watching the team events. @GolfSpy_KFT glad to hear the good news about your son. Hopefully you can breathe a bit easier now. Have a great Thursday!

  50. They are family, and our young daughter loves this dog. I worked in veterinary hospitals for almost 10 years, so it was one of those things where you know to much and that causes to many negative thoughts. I hate that y'all had to say goodbye to a him! I truly understand that idea of not going through it again, I am likely very close to that, but I don't know if my wife is there though. Thank you Rob!!
