Who I am – MGS Tester Introduction My name is Chris and welcome. I am a 65 year old male and I live with my artist wife Sue and two huskies in Oakville, in the greater Toronto area in Ontario, Canada. To put things into perspective the province of Ontario is 1.5 times larger than the state of Texas and 4 times the size of the U.K. Why I am testing: I am very grateful to MGS and L.A.B. and excited by this opportunity. I am keen to see if the L.A.B. DF3 and its lie angle balance approach to putter design works as claimed. It was designed to eliminate torque and produce a repeatable swing. The DF3 is the smaller, sleeker version of its bigger brother, the directed force, DF2, but does it deliver the goods? It has gained significant traction on tour and begs the question of how it stacks up to my fitted reference putter(s). VERSUS But this is no ordinary Evnroll. It has been fitted and modified with a stability tour shaft and an Evnroll gravity grip. For more information on this and my putting statistics, see, What am I looking for in the L.A.B. DF3: I gave a lot of thought on how I would test this if given the opportunity before applying. I am a fairly decent putter averaging 31 to 32 putts per round based on my Arccos data. If it proves to deliver the putter more consistently to the ball and results in more one putts, less three putts and overall, less putts per round, it will be a candidate to go in the bag permanently. I am particularly interested in how it performs from 10’ feet and in. Does it offer good value for the money? My putter testing protocol including testing on Quintic to follow in a separate post. Moreover, thorough testing of the L.A.B. DF3 will focus me on improving my putting and working on my putting drills. So thankyou MyGolfSpy. Making those short putts is critical. Who I am: I am driven by challenges and the constant need to learn and improve and I’m passionate in what I do. I am also data driven and analytical in nature. Needless to say, I am a golf, data and equipment junkie. I have had many careers. After graduate school, I did medical research looking at factors involved in preterm labour. I then moved onto organ donation and transplantation, eventually running the organ donation program based out of Toronto General Hospital. Toronto General hospital (TGH) is one of the premier transplant centres and hospitals in the world. They pioneered both successful single and double lung transplantation in the eighties. I had the distinct pleasure of working in multi organ transplant in the early days (80’s/90’s) and worked with many brilliant and incredibly smart people. Where the driving principle was you do what’s best for the patient and what does the data show. What is the source of that data, is it evidence based, is it fair, balanced, and non promotional in nature. You had to know your stuff and be prepared for anything. Back then it was routine to work 24-36 hours straight procuring and transplanting organs. Think of the guy getting off the Lear jet in OR greens with a cooler. I was that guy. I’ve been in every teaching hospital and most ICU’s (intensive care units) across Canada and many in the US. No frequent flyer miles I’m driven by the need to learn, push myself and enjoy what I do. I then transitioned to career 3, moving to the “dark side” starting with Wyeth and then Pfizer in their Rare Disease group and the launch of Rapamycin for organ transplantation. So, I stayed in transplant, interacted with all the people I worked with for many years, although now in a different capacity. If you’re going to go to industry, it’s the best way to go. Over time, bleeding disorders (hemophilia) and growth disorders were added to my portfolio but the same guiding principle of doing what’s best for the patient and what does the data actually show, guided me. Career 4, presented itself during the pandemic and the opportunity to take early retirement with no more Zoom calls and the opportunity to be a full time golf aficionado and pickleball player was too irresistible to pass up. My other passions are building, home renovation and cooking. When I was young, I bought a water access shell of a cottage as my first property. Not being handy at the time, I proceeded to take courses in construction, carpentry, electrical and plumbing. I then proceeded to completely wire the cottage, plumb it, insulate it, drywall, install flooring, build the kitchen, bathroom, etc. I’ve built and rebuilt docks, decks, so hence the handyman moniker. There’s not much I can’t do, although with age comes wisdom. Golf: I have been playing golf on and off for 40 plus years. After not playing golf for 10+ years, I got back into golf at the age of 60. I was inspired by a friend who once said, golf is the only game you can play for 30 years and never improve. When I thought about it, it is rather true, so I was determined to do it right the second time around. At the time I was about a 25ish handicap. Hence lessons, fitted equipment and diligent practice. I was inspired again when I went to Tour Experience Golf (TXG) 5+ years ago and came out not only with expertly fitted and built clubs, but many new friends. I now go at least twice a year to tweak my setup. My current handicap is 6.3, but I have been as low as 4 or high as 8.5. Most of my rounds are in the 78 - 82 range. My home course is TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley featuring 3 courses all ranked within the top 60 courses in Canada and all 3 in the top 20 public courses in Canada. TPC Sawgrass, I’m the guy in the middle in the blue and black. I love scenic, challenging courses, especially mountain or coastal courses. What drives me is hitting good shots and being consistent. My philosophy is if you hit good shots the score will “usually” take care of itself. If you don’t like the score, play better. I am competitive, however, I play more for the joy of the game. I strive to improve each year and keep father time at bay. Now, my day job is golf, pickleball and my two huskies. Myah (front) and Hazel (rear) Thank you for your patience and understanding in reading my introduction.

It is no secret that L.A.B. Golf has taken off because of multiple wins on the PGA Tour and a greater professional presence overall. Its success in MyGolfSpy testing and the hype around the newly released L.A.B. DF3 has only increased its notoriety. What Is L.A.B.? L.A.B. stands for Lie Angle Balance. These putters, unlike other putters, are not toe-hang or face balanced. They are balanced to point at the target, meaning no twisting, no struggling to keep the face directed at the target—the putter does this naturally. As each golfer is unique in their putting stance and stroke, the fitting process for L.A.B. is crucial. L.A.B. has made this easy by way of their online submission. A simple step-by-step process is sent to L.A.B. and they use this video to dial in your specifications. L.A.B. is best known for their big and unique-looking DF 2.1, a putter that has many nicknames and certainly does not appeal to all golfers. This is where the DF3 comes in. Please welcome and congratulate our testers! @jbern @MattWillGolf @CFreddie @Cfhandyman @GolfSpy MPR @Steve F

It's a peach!

Happy Thursday all! Pumped that it is another community call day and we have a new guest lined up for two weeks from now. Thrilled for another Live Q&A where you all will have a ton of questions to ask about the insights of their product. Exciting times and looking forward to a great weekend as well!

Good Thursday morning to you MGS Troops! Look what I woke up to. Mother Nature said “No golf for you”! That’s ok, have to head to Denver this morning anyway, but check out the forecast: So awesome!!! Yes, yes it was sarcasm. Sunday is supposed to be better, but I play on Friday at Marianna Butte which is in the foothills of Loveland CO. Friday’s forecast??? Rain and snow. Maybe the VGA will cancel. I’m doubtful. Here’s a throwback Thursday pic for ya on my way out the door. Zoey crushing another girl from Dallas! It was awesome! Happy Snowy Thursday from Wyoming!

Happy Friday all! I hope that everything is able to watch as much of the Masters as they like and for all who are out on the course to go low. Looking forward to a relaxing day today and hopefully this weekend with a round booked for Sunday. May miss some of, but not all of the Masters. Got my Newton 5 dot to go test out as well! Oh and I need to get my next Stack session in today as well.

It's up! Finally - I amaze myself at the computer work I am able to accomplish considering I am an Ice Technician and not training in all this nonsense. Also would love feedback on the new Newsletter (sorry yesterday was a broken morning so the old one went out) However we are working hard on providing a better newseltter for all to experience! It took about 4 months to build - lots of bs along the way - but happy with how it has turned out. Let us know what you think! Hope the coffee is hot and everyone is enjoying their days!

Good morning Spies on this Community Call and First Round at the Masters Thursday from a wet Michigan. Raining here, and supposedly lasting all day today through tomorrow morning. Although we can use the rain and I don't have golf plans until the weekend, not a big deal to me. Hope you get the t/stat and wiring issue resolved @cksurfdude, a lot of great advice, but with you knowing exactly how the house heating is laid out, you will make the best decision for yourself. Hope that all here have the best day they possibly can, that something fun and enjoyable may be in your plans, and hope to see many on the Community Call later today,

Good morning everyone. And oh what a testing opportunity this is going to be. A friend and I used to go garage sale shopping for persimmon drivers and refinish them and sell them. We would also tinker and build out different clubs at different swing weights just to see how/if they would perform differently. Still have one of the drivers I built with the old school leather grip. Haven’t swung it in years, no decades, though and not sure how it would hold up after all this time. Happy birthday @GolfSpy SAM and I hope everyone has a great day ahead. Bummed to miss the community call today as I’m sure the talk about Toura will dominate the chatter.

Good morning Spies on this Community Call Thursday from the Motor City. Cool and cloudy now, but supposed to warm-up later as the day progresses. Want everyone here to know to wish @GolfSpy SAM a Happy Birthday today. Rumor has it he is turning 39 for the unknown time again today. Hoping to see many on the call later and hoping that your day is the best it can be, and that something enjoyable is in your plans.

Morning all. Overnight freezing temps, but a sunny 46°F (8°C) outside. Starting up a personal project in the shop, and frankly, I’m a little nervous and excited about it. It’s been a while since I made a piece of furniture. This’ll either go fantastically well, spiraling downwardly to a horrific crash, or somewhere in between. But like golf, just gotta believe in my strokes and find my groove. Speaking of which, yesterday’s golf was a bit of a mixed bag. Hoping to get out sometime tomorrow. Have a good one, all.

Good morning y’all, heading for my gym session , then a walk ! Day is shaping to be busy and quite warm near or past 90° today , helping neighbor lady load her car as she leaves to return north , then help another friend with cart repairs . Another friend bought new weapons ( clubs ) and wants me to watch him hit them , offering input if I see something so I’ll be busy guy today . Please be kind , grateful and blessed !

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.

Right with you there. Watch a bunch and then when I did try to sleep the baby was up and before i knew it my alarm went off to get into work. I do have a tee time booked for 2 hours so we will see how that goes and I had a fun round yeterday at a course I don't particularily like, but was able to give the Newton 5 dot another good run. Was better for sure after a few minor tweeks, but think I found a few things out along the way and was able to get a few good photos.

Good morning everyone! It's the first day of the Masters and I'm looking forward to seeing how things go with it today. It's also community call day and I can't wait to get on the zoom call with all of you. I hope y'all have a great day!

Good morning MGSpies on Community Call Thursday from the wet springtime April showers of WNY eagerly awaiting the announcement of whateveritis Jamie @GolfSpy_APH has whetted the appetite for, as if Matt's @GolfSpy SAM birthday isn't reason enough to be thrilled, wait that is a trifecta Looking forward to seeing many of you friends on the call later on and possibly from the "fairways" as it is still a transformation process from park to golf course where I usually play, hope golf is a part of your day! 41

Good morning, Spies! It's still dark, but the birds are chirping to wake the sun while FABWIFE and the dogs continue to snooze. Java is in my near future. I think I am having withdrawal symptoms with no outdoor golf since Sunday and travel preventing golf this weekend. Thank goodness for this forum; my twitching has slowed since logging on. I wish you all peaceful, productive, wonderful days.

Good morning everyone! It's community call day and I'm looking forward to being able to talk with y'all this evening. I'm just chilling in the car waiting to go in to work while drinking my coffee and check the happenings of the forum. I'm also curious as to what test the forum leaders have that is so unique. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

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!

Good morning and happy Monday! Coffee is brewing and I have a full packed day ahead. It was a great weekend full of family time, golf and watching some golf. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning to all on a wet Friday. Rain, rain and more rain. Thankfully, it’s Friday, espresso is delicious and it’s The Masters weekend. Can Tiger’s leg and body hold up to make it through the day. Will he make the cut. I’m hoping yes and yes. @cksurfdude see good things happen when you ask for help. Glad you got it sorted out @GolfSpy_APH great write up on the monthly recap. That should be a regular feature moving forward. Well done. Todays, daily chuckle is

Good morning MGS! Hoping to get on the CC today! Always excited to see who the mystery guests will be @GolfSpy_APH ! Heading out to prep for a charity tournament today. Hopefully they learned a little bit about tee time blocking lthis week. Weather was nasty last night and looks like it pushed from us to The Masters (so go ahead, blame me, get it out of the way ) Have a great day!

Good morning! Ready for Masters 2024. Hoping the weather holds but doesn’t look promising.

Morning all, a grey, overcast start to the day here but it’s dry at the moment. First day of the Masters and the weather forecast isn’t good for there so could be a challenging day. Looking forward to seeing how it shapes up. Hope you all have a good day

Good morning to all on a lovely Thursday morning. Today will be a practice day on the range. Rumour has it, that it’s someone’s birthday today. Happy birthday to Matt, @GolfSpy SAM. L.A.B. called because they heard you were dreaming of this. Enjoy your day.

Good morning! Busy day and running slightly behind for my normal self. Feel rested and ready to take on the day! Happy Birthday @GolfSpy SAM Have a great day everyone!

Good Thursday morning spies. Walked out of work yesterday to the cool temps and high winds that had been present all day so I skipped the golf course. Stepped outside to grab the mail about 30 minutes after arriving at home and the sky was blue with a light breeze. Just a touch of that unpredictable Midwest weather. Temps are back into the 40s today with rain on and off all day. Soccer games tonight and tomorrow so maybe golf on Saturday when temps will still be in the 40s. Have a wonderful day spies!

Good morning spies! Got called into work on my day off, but not totally mad as it looks like the rain would dampen my round today anyways. Played great in the cold yesterday, and thoroughly enjoying the Bridgestone Mindset balls! Think they are going to replace my Maxfli’s honestly. Having some coffee and making an egg sandwich for the road. Have a fantastic day everyone!

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!

Good morning Spies - hope everyone is having a great start to the week. Absolutely floored to be selected for the DF3 test - if you have seen my posts elsewhere, you’ll know I’m a fan of L.A.B. And I can’t wait to get this test started with this incredible group of testers! Sending good vibes your way @sirchunksalot! Have a great Tuesday!

This is my first time posting in the Good Morning Thread! Hi everyone I have Mondays off, so my mornings are always an early round somewhere in the Los Angeles area. This was a view of the 18th green of the Wilson course at Griffith Park Golf Club. 7:00am and a brisk 46*. Happy Monday, and I hope you all have a great week ahead! ✌

Good morning fellow spies and happy post Masters Monday. What a performance Scottie put on yesterday to run away with the championship. Truly in the midst of witnessing greatness in the game of golf. He has been on an absolute tear and if it continues I could realistically see him challenging for a handful more victories this year. Absolutely incredible. Had another article post to the main site today with some different strength exercises to add to your routine to boost your performance on the golf course! Would appreciate if you gave it a read and comment! https://mygolfspy.com/news-opinion/golf-performance-training-strongerfasterlonger/ Have a great day!

Monday mornings…with the discussion about making the day after the Super Bowl a holiday, I’d support making the Monday after all 4 majors a holiday as well! Hope everyone has a good start to their week!

Good morning all and happy Friday! Some excellent golf played yesterday in round one and looking forward to round two of the Masters today! Need some members of my pool crew to pick up the slack a bit so I can get into the mix . I am a criminal offender of changing my lineup repeatedly for pools like this, and it once again did more harm than good. Maybe this time I will learn my lesson lol. Heading to the in-laws cabin after work today to do some fishing, and hoping to squeeze a round of golf in when we get back Sunday, but yard work and general cleaning of the house beckons.

Good Friday morning! @cksurfdudeglad to see mission accomplished. @Erin B good luck today. Busy morning and then hopefully a round this afternoon. Have a lesson tomorrow morning and looking forward to hopefully learning something. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning everyone and happy Friday! I'm glad the work week is almost over since it's Masters weekend and my job just doesn't understand I would rather be watching it all day as opposed to working. They don't understand priorities. I had a great time on the call yesterday and can't wait for the next one. @cksurfdude I'm glad you got your thermostat issue rectified, Chuck. I hope you all have a good start to your weekend and that it's filled with golf whether your playing or watching it.

The Master’s is here! A conversation with my 6 year old last night: - Me: do you know what this week is? - 6 YO: (with a puzzled look) no - Me: it’s the Master’s! - 6 YO: what’s the Master’s? - Me: it’s a tradition like no others - 6 YO: what’s a tradition like no others? (As my wife is laughing at this conversation) I may have failed as a parent!!!

Morning all! Another testing opportunity, community call day (hopefully I can make it today), day 1 of the masters (delayed but that’s okay) and I get to wear my azalea shirt . Easy day at work and a work from home day tomorrow….cant beat it!

Good Morning all! Masters Thursday is finally here (even if things are going to be a bit delayed), I have my first round scheduled for 7am Sunday, now if it was not going to be cool and rainy the next couple days that would be a real plus. Can't win them all but in this case 2 out of 3 is not bad. Have a great Thursday everyone!

Golf league was fun to kick off on tuesday. Didnt play great, but also didnt play terribly. Had a few blowup holes but did manage to birdie the second hardest hole on the course so .... yay? Pity I had a triple and quad bogey... (yeah it was that kind of up and down day). Now... I will say the 35-45mph gusting breezes didnt help. Eyes were getting sandblasted with pollen and I was just done by the end of it. Irons.... are in a good spot I think. My driver ehhhhhhh my overdraw was a pain in the ass all day. Throw in a lot of wind and well.... Id have been better off with an iron off the box probably. Now I just gotta figure out how to straighten the driver out. Seriously... how the s*** do I over draw a ball with a club face set 3* OPEN..... may have to hit the range this weekend to see if I cant sort out a setup or swing thought to fix it. Ah well, a 47 for the first official round of the year isnt the worst.

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!

Good morning Spies, and Happy Monday!!! I'm SOOOO sore this morning. Really reminds me how out of shape I am and how I really need to step up my efforts to get back into a shape other than round. What I'm doing isn't working, so a change needs to be made. Beautiful day yesterday for golf. Almost too warm for that first day out of hibernation at 85*. Got a light sunburn on my arms, but luckily I did put some block on my face/ears/neck to help prevent it there. The course was a bit mushy from all the rain. Cart path only, made the day a bit longer putting almost 9k steps on my new shoes in just that round alone. I was able to wipe down the mud/dirt that got on them when I got home, which was great. I'll just need to do that whenever we get these soggy rounds going forward. Going to be a nice day today and tomorrow at 80* and partly sunny. There will be lots of golfers on courses the next couple of days. Then the rain is back Wed thru at least Sunday. Ugh. I do have a lesson this Saturday, so that helps offset the rainy weekend a bit. Anyway, everyone have a great day and start to your week.

Good morning spies! Today is work at the GC running around and making sure everything flows as it should. Got news 10 minutes ago that our division at the PD opened up 2 slots for a benefit tournament in 10 days. Think I was the first to message the Major and jump into it. Fingers crossed! Playing a course tomorrow that I have not played in 8 months. Looking forward to a different setup. Have a great day!

Good Monday Morning Spies! Hope everyone had a good weekend! A cool 59 degree & Sunny Central Florida morning. No golf today, on first cup of espresso! What a Masters yesterday, congratulations to Scottie Scheffler! Wow, worlds #1 proved it! He closed out the tourney on the back 9! Impressive! Have a Great Day Everyone and Hit’em Straight ️

Introduction Thank you to L.A.B. Golf and the MGS Forum for this unbelievable opportunity to test the new L.A.B. DF3 putter! As a husband and father of 3 young children (Ages are 6, 4 and 1.5 years old) my main job is reading children’s books in funny voices and expertly applying superglue and packaging tape to broken toys! I have a side gig in building creative (and mostly safe) obstacle courses for the kids to jump around on. As a family, we also like going on hikes and bike rides. The photo below is from a local hike that has a viewing/learning area about farms and crops and their various growth stages (my wife and I decided not to put our kids on any social media, so you’ll just get the backs of their heads ) We live in an area of Southern Michigan that is known for having a lot of lakes, so we try to spend a lot of time in and around the water (in the summertime) in this beautiful area. It's also a great area for golf and there are at least 12 golf courses within 20 minutes. My day job is working as an electrical protection engineer for generating facilities throughout the state of Michigan, protecting the people and equipment within the facilities. It’s an incredibly interesting job and I’ve enjoyed it for the last 10 years! As far as golfing goes, I started golf when I was 14 and played on the H.S. golf team. My peak handicap was 5 during that time. After high school I almost never golfed, playing 7 times over 15 years. I got hooked again in the fall of 2021 and haven’t looked back. I got my first ever fitting in the fall of ’22. I’m a proud member of the pushcart mafia and walk every chance I get (check out the Clicgear 4.0 review thread; in ‘23, I had lower scores when walking)! I’ve put in quite a bit of practice to get my HCP from 17 in ’21 to my current HCP of 7.4. Putting has improved, but my golf game has traditionally gone as my driver goes and putting has always been my biggest weakness. Being a weak putter, L.A.B. golf putters have been of obvious interest to me, and there seems to be excitement around these putters in everyone from professionals to weekend warriors. I love that they're using technology and engineering to try to make putting easier. I’ve had about 100 different combinations of L.A.B. putters in my cart over the past year or so! That being said, I have never rolled a single putt with a L.A.B. putter… yet! I did a putter fitting in '22 and it was based on my static measurements and my putting stroke style. My putting stroke is straight-back straight-through so they recommended a mallet, face-balanced putter that is 33.25" long putter with a lie angle of 69*. We'll see what LAB recommends via their online fitting! My current gamer putter is a Sub70 AL-6 armlock putter that is 39.5" long with a lie angle of 72*. I did an unofficial review last year of the putter and switching to armlock. You can see the review here. I had significant improvement switching to armlock! VS. Over the course of this test, I plan on putting the LAB DF3 through it’s paces in 3 main ways: The key testing method is going to be on the course. Before switching to the AL-6 armlock, my average putts per round was 38.7 putts. With the armlock putter over the last 9 months my average putts per round is 34.1. Will the LAB DF3 improve my putts per round? I’m going to keep more detailed records on my putting than ever before (e.g. length of putt, make/miss, long/short, left/right, confidence over putt). Tempo has been something that I’ve struggled with, so it’s what I practice most at home and so far that has consisted of rolling putts in my living room using a ruler to gauge my takeaway length and a mirror to keep setup consistent. This setup is easy, has worked and I’d like to see how quickly I establish a good tempo with the DF3. I will also be using the EXputt putting simulator, which should be arriving any day now, to compare my armlock putter stroke to the DF3 and get data on face, path, and speed control. As a side test, I’m hoping to go to a true putter fitting experience and get their thoughts on the DF3 vs. my gamer armlock AL-6 putter. I also want to answer the following questions: How long does it take to get used to the L.A.B. style of putting? Is going from armlock style to L.A.B. style more difficult than my transition from normal to armlock? Do I like the looks/feel/sound of the putter? How was the fitting and ordering process? Thanks again to the MGS Forum staff and L.A.B. Golf! Let us know if you have any questions that you’d like answered throughout this test!

MORNING MASTERS COVERAGE !!! WOO HOO! wake up with a cuppa and masters coverage reminds me of the Open Championship. Love watching early morning golf. Mama Nature opened up with some serious wind gusts and buckets of rain putting my afternoon round in serious jeopardy. Maybe I'll just do it anyway.... 60s and 70s on the horizon and I CAN'T WAIT. Would love to play 40-50 rounds this year, if not more. Monday is a state holiday for us up here in the birth of America, Patriots Day, and I'll be out on the course. Patriots' Day is an annual event, formalized as a legal holiday or a special observance day in six U.S. states, commemorating the battles of Lexington, Concord, and Menotomy, some of the first battles of the American Revolutionary War. The holiday occurs on the third Monday of April each year, with celebrations including battle reenactments and the Boston Marathon. Wishing nothing but the best for you all. Have a fabulous weekend and I hope you get to watch golf, play golf, practice golf, buy golf and enjoy golf.

Good morning NGS troops! Happy Friday! Headed back to Denver for imaging for the spousal unit! Things are starting to move. I may get out today to play a round. We’ll see what time we get back from Denver. Getting a cup o Joe and then on our way. Have a fantastic day!

Morning all. Community call was good! Always a pleasure to hang out. @cksurfdude congrats on your home improvement mission accomplished! That’s always a satisfying feeling. Nice write-up @GolfSpy_APH! After Day-ish 1 of the Masters I’ve exceeded my expectations in the pool! I assumed that I’d be in the mid/low hundreds, took a look this morning and found that I’m #255! Go Nicolai Højgaard! This is probably my best ranking in the times I’ve joined the pool, so I figure, why not celebrate? Have a good one all.

Morning Gents, and any Ladies who may be present!! Glad I got some range time and a few practice holes in yesterday, before a few wet and dreary days here (yes I prefer to be a fair weather golfer ). So this morning's adventure is an eval for cataract surgery... Apparently it's so common now that there are clinics everywhere .. and they're busy!, booked a few weeks ago .. and apparently the surgery itself is very quick. This came up recently after I went for an eval for LASIK, where the nice young lady did several tests and checks and measurements .. then explained carefully they couldn't do LASIK on me because of developing cataracts... Yep getting to be an oooold man Would be nice to see more clearly! TBD. K hope everybody's day goes well for them, and maybe see a few of you later on the MGS-CC!!

And speaking of storms... BOOOOM!!!
