Good morning MGSpies from 'it's already getting light out and definitely springtime' in WNY on this day before the Community Call, work computer going online and starting the workday from the zero commute to the basement command center. Got in 9 holes yesterday in sunshine, still Caz park with nice greens as the fairways are far from ready but did run into longtime friend and played 5 holes together before he had to leave. Rain in the forecast due to arrive soon today and again on Friday so might be taking everyone for a vicarious view on the call tomorrow for the first time this year. Hope golf is a part of your day 42 And welcome! Jessica @Jessica Adams to the forum and a great place to start on the Good Morning Thread too! Hope to see your good morning's more often as well as posts around the forum where I am sure you are going to find this a family kind of friendly the way we all enjoy it being as it has always been.24 points -

Good morning y'all! (I think I am using that right as a yankee) More beautiful weather on tap this has been a wonderful spring stretch before we get inundated with bugs for about a month or a bit more. Yard work is getting done with this nice weather including some clean up from trees, leaves, and just general clean up. Have a great Wednesday everyone!24 points -
Good Morning Spies! Happy Wednesday! Should be a steady work day which will help the day pass faster. Supposed to get in the mid 80's here too which is always nice. Planted a few tomato plants yesterday and mowed a little grass. Not sure what is in store for me this afternoon, maybe a little swing work? We will see... Have a great day everyone!23 points

Good morning to all on a fine but wet Wednesday morning. Forecast is rain, rain and more rain. So no golf today. As a result, the Espresso machine is working overtime. Plan B is installing some pot lights in the basement or maybe heading to the indoor golf facility. Liking that much more. May everyone have a wonderful day.

Good morning spies! It is a chilly, windy morning this morning. Winds are supposed to be 20-30 mph all day with no sunshine. We've had such a nice few days recently, so it's going to suck that we are going through a couple of days here that are colder and windy. Hopefully, that all clears up and I can get out and play some golf this weekend! I hope you all have a happy hump day!22 points

Good morning! Welcome @Jazzdrummer420 and @Jessica Adams! Hope you stick around and love it as so many of us do. No golf for me for a few days, but had a nice practice session yesterday focusing on approach shots. Loving the lower swingweight/counterweight in my irons. It went too well to be trusted. Need to figure out how to move that to the course. Wishing you all fantastic days!21 points

Good morning everyone. Weather is making range time very difficult to come by with high winds and thunderstorms. Really need to work my irons as my approach game is killing me lately. Might have to just rely on some net practice in the garage for a few days until I can get outside again. Need to get some more video anyway for my Excellent Adventure with @CFreddie. So much fun following all the testing going on, it's hard to keep up. Very curious to see how the LAB testing plays out. Now my son is talking about being interested in one. He gets his expensive taste from his dad, lol. Hope everyone has a great day ahead.21 points

Good morning Spies! Nice hot cup of apple cinnamon tea hitting the spot this morning. League play starts tonight, very psyched for that! Had a driver lesson yesterday that went extremely well! Busy at work, hope you all have a great day and that golf is part of it!21 points

Good morning everyone! I think it's hump day, being out of work on Monday has kind of thrown my internal calendar off a bit. It's a beautiful morning here that's going to give way to some rain later on this evening. My wife was going to go get her car detailed today and I remembered the forecast right before bed. I made it through work yesterday without any incidents related to my health and I'm hoping that'll continue throughout the rest of the week. It's been an exciting week on the forum with the announcements of the L.A.B. and Ghost Golf tests and all the interactions happening on here. It's awesome to see the growth of the forum while maintaining the spirit that's been here all the time I've been a member. I hope y'all have a great day!21 points -

Welcome aboard!! Good morning spies! On duty next 2 days, and alot going on in that realm. Mostly good, some not, and for those who understand, you do NOT want to be a "policy maker" these days, as that usually ends with being made an example of what not to do!

Had some pretty good rain here yesterday. Hoping the course is dry enough as my 11 year old should be having one of her first golf camp sessions today. Looking forward to seeing how the kids progress even moreso than my own game right now.20 points -
Good Mormon Spies! Well the rain has moved in and it looks like thunderstorms this afternoon. Guess that means I'll be working instead of playing golf. Today is supposed to be the opening day of our mens league, I doubt that is gonna happen though but I'll wait for the official email stating today is canceled before I get too bummed. Ha. No matter what have an awesome day out there!20 points

Good morning! The weather is nice outside right now, but we're supposed to get high winds and rain starting shortly. I was really hoping to get out today and do the Solo Scramble challenge that's in the virtual tour corner of the forum, but I definitely won't have time before the storms. Still on quite a high from the LAB test announcement and my smile has been ear to ear! Have a good day everyone!19 points -

Morning All, I’d like to say my day has started well. That would be just wrong though. Normally I’m at work by now. Today I’m sitting in traffic because a semi truck caught fire on the other side of the HRBT. There’s another bridge tunnel I can go get on, if I wasn’t already past that exit and the next I’m nowhere close to. It’s looking like I’m going to be late to work. Thankfully everyone understands that this is out of my control. So no problems there. Hope everyone has a good day.19 points -
I get up at 4:30 am everyday. I had a half a can of Celsius and half of a banana (My dog always gets a bite when done doing is business.), worked out with weights, ate a Pure Protein bar and paid some bills. Now getting ready to take my dog for a four mile walk then home for a cup of tea and breakfast. This is my typical routine, and I throw in a bike ride every now and then, certainly on days I don't do weights (Celsius and protein bar on weights days only). This is all necessary because I love ice cream and potato chips way too much!19 points

Good morning and happy Wednesday everybody! Temps should be in the high 50s with rain this morning and then low 60s and overcast this afternoon. Clubs will go to work with me in anticipation of getting a round in after work today. Just need to get past that work part… Have a fabulous day everyone! ️18 points -

Good morning Spies on a cool and cloudy Michigan Wednesday. Rain moving in later, and may stick around for a few days, and the temperatures are back to more normal highs of mid to upper 50's. Practiced a bit on the practice green at the course close to my house yesterday evening, so hoping that keeps working for me out on the course. Normal workday for me, although the number of workdays left for me is dwindling fast. Finally was asked yesterday if I may be able to show another "how do you do that" knowing they will be on their own after the 30th. Hope that your day is the best it can be, and that something fun and enjoyable may be in your plans.18 points -

Good morning fellow spies and happy Wednesday! We got some pretty serious rain and thunderstorms here in the evening yesterday, but it is more than welcomed in my book as we had a relatively dry winter snow wise and need the precipitation. Course is greening up very quickly, and in typical fashion as it is here at my home course we should be looking at mid-summer playing conditions by May. The work the grounds crew does truly is fantastic. Pretty standard day ahead of me for work, then only one day left this week as I will be off Friday. I have a conference to go to Saturday which is paid attendance for work plus mileage (win!). On my day off I am taking a little trip down to Vortex HQ in Barneveld, WI, to check out their new line of golf rangefinders . Really looking forward to that and I will try to have some media content to share with you guys both here and on IG, so keep an eye on the forum account as well as my personal IG (@jasonnoble3). Also for those following my recent development of the shanks, some progress was made last night! Found a drill that will now be a daily ritual of setting a tee just outside the toe and inside the heel of my club and swinging through the gate without hitting either tee. By the end of the night last night I had made very good progress from when I started.17 points -

Good morning Spies, Happy hump day to those who celebrate it. The needed dental work has not dampened my excitement of the L.A.B. Golf test opportunity. Looking forward to this one indeed. I ordered a Ghost Anyday Maverick Black Ops 7-way bag with the forum logo. Felt it was time to represent. I did get out for 9 yesterday. The course is a bit mushy but the greens have improved a lot in a week. I need to do my first lawn mowing of the season today. Rain is in the forecast so it will be a morning job. I have a 2 mile run on tap today and that may be pushed to the treadmill if the weather predictions hold. Wishing all a wonderful day!16 points -

Good morning spies! Well I get fixed on Friday. Surgery is scheduled for 9 am. Next we had the equipment for solar panel installation delivered just a few minutes ago. It will be installed tomorrow. Unlike Oregon, where if your panels produce enough power to push back into the grid you actually get paid the same rate at which the power company sells the power to you, here in Mesa it is way different. Here SRP, my utility company, screws you over if you put panels up and produce power. SRP has it set up so if you produce a lot of power the power you have to buy goes up 2 and three times the regular rate and they pay less than 3 cents for power produced. In a desert state, with tons of sunshine this makes zero sense.,15 points -

But hey ya know the weather does what -it- wants Heading out for another Chiro checkup/adjustment - gotta say between this and acupuncture .. well and yoga & stretching, steady exercise, some of those @GolfSpy_KFT mobility movements, a beer or two on the evenings .. my back is usually doing much better vs past few years!

Good morning spy's, Interesting day yesterday, we volunteered to take our 9 year old twins on a field trip, this included public transit to and from the event. If there are any elementary teachers on this site, I send out my sincere condolences lol, just kidding, you have a big job and need lots of energy to keep up with those kids... Today the weather is spectacular in victoria, chilly this morning 1 degree celcius but by the time I tee off at noon should be a balmy 11-12... competitions are getting closer, interclub April 23rd, then Island Open April 27-28 (usually the 1st. tournament of the year for me) I get a big anxious around 7-10 days prior to the events just wondering if I am ready to perform etc. but I had a good session with my sports psychologist and have it figured out... Just my DNA and I have to "trick" it... Anyway, hope everyone's day is great....14 points -

Sunday is supposed to be back in the 60s. Helter Skelter weather and old man winter can’t decide if he’s coming or going. Hope your day is blessed and full of enjoyment.

Good morning, Spies. Happy Hump Day!! There is a demo day here today, but the weather doesn't look like it's going to cooperate. The demo day is 10am-2pm, but rain is supposed to start at 10am. Ugh, I was really hoping to try a few irons today so I can narrow down the options for my fitting next month. We'll see how much rain actually comes before I make the call to go or not. There's a bigger demo day on the 4th in Knoxville that I'm going to, so I do have a secondary plan, but I'd still love to try a few things today. Anyway, nothing else to report today. Just work as normal. Everyone have a fantastic day!12 points -

WEDNESDAY… The day of split personalities. Is it looking forward to what might be or backwards to what was? Whichever, good morning my spies. The good news of Wednesday is that I am free of “ Those People “ for the rest of the month. They are not real big on having to “ double “ my pittance to call me out after my scheduled time load. The bad news for Wednesday is that the purge and confiscation of my stored ( hidden, but obviously not well ) antiquated golf gear by the “ She Scourge “ continues. I will readily admit to not remembering that I had these or where the family’s female investigator found them.. But Come on y’all, isn’t anything sacrosanct? I have no idea what the Royal of Repurposing is planning with these, but hopefully they won’t be publicly embarrassed by their new station in life. May we all have a better, much better Wednesday than my “ former “ clubs.12 points -

Morning all! Headed to the range this morning as me and a buddy both took the day off to enjoy some great weather and golf all day! I’m hoping to play 18 this AM, lunch, gym, then 18 again later including the 9 hole Wednesday night men’s group. It’s going to be a fun day! on another note, it’s crazy to me that the PGA is following Augusta with a designated Signature event this week at RBC Heritage. Nonetheless, I will happily shut up and watch . I hope everyone is having a good week so far, I know I’m anxious to see who’s reviewing those AutoFlex driver shafts! Congrats again, man!

Good Wednesday morning Spies! It is shaping up to be a grossly high humidity day warming up to near 80. Hoping to get a range session in today but will have to make it early to avoid melt down conditions later. It appears my penance for ordering the V5 has been finally paid, after yesterday's onslaught by her highness to redistribute my finances. She has decided I need a dose of my own communication/listening failure and is not sharing the total compensation package... In other words, she has no idea how much she spent but I should consider myself fortunate as she bought it all on sale and saved me lots of money... I'm sure she feels fully vindicated by the smug smile and side eye glance I got when I asked what the damages were... @Dead Solid Bogey Hope you can get ahead of the princess's sudden urge to repurpose your archived tools of the trade and possibly locate a secret storage facility to secure them... Enjoy your day everyone and hit 'em straight if you get the opportunity!11 points -

The biggest snippet was my hitting angle is too steep causing a lot of toe hits. My takeaway angle was "beautiful" according to the video and the pro, and looking at the video, he was right. Club is pointed at the ball. However, seems I have this "hitch" that I do on my downswing that is causing me to steepen my angle a bit causing some issues. Solution one: the pro asked me to rate my grip tightness with my right hand on a scale of 1-10... 1 being the club would fly out of my hands on the backswing. I was definitely an 8-9: I seem to have a propensity for gripping rather tightly. He had me doing drills to loosen that grip, and after that, the dang ball went straighter and my downswing angle did shallow a bit. Still a work in progress, but I felt a lot better with the new knowledge! Now I can use my LM and video to work on the new skill set at home! Thanks for asking @Jim Shaw! If I can obtain any of the video from the pro, I will be happy to share it!11 points -

To everyone wondering about the y'all topic, I feel like I am well qualified (a first for me on the forum) as an unedumicated redneck from SE TN to confirm... It is plural. Y'all will probably hear it a lot at Kingsmill along with other words like yonder (over there for my northern friends). We also don't enunciate very well, especially things like huntin, fishin, and muddin. I refuse to pronounce the g on the end of these. @GolfSpy_KFT, I'm sorry to hear about your problems with the shanks. That's a terrible disease to pick up but thankfully it's early in the year and you have plenty of time to get them figured out and I have faith you will.11 points -

Beautiful Central Florida morning & afternoon, sadly No golf today, but planning on walking 18 holes at 7am tomorrow. But have this nagging feeling I have something to do Wednesday morning other than golf. Congrats to all the Lab Putter testers!! Really looking forward to that testing.
