Good morning to all on a wet dreary rainy Thursday morning. Thank goodness coffee is hot and delicious and I got my first round of the season in yesterday. Driver and irons were in reasonably good shape, but putting and short game were right out of the good, the bad and the ugly. But overall promising start. So today while it rains, back to practicing indoors under the benevolent eye of Dr. Trackman. Will enjoying watching the Masters in all its wonderful glory over the next few days. Have a great day. 

Good Morning
We have had a beautiful start of the week, sunny 60's, but that ends today. Rainy and 50's next couple days.  Glad I got a round in yesterday.  spreading loam now with coffee before the rain begins. 
Have a great day

Good morning everyone and Happy Masters Day! If it isn’t a real thing then it should be. Going to be a very unproductive day watching golf in my phone. Hope the kids behave as I don’t want to be breaking up any fights and missing out on the action. Might try to pop on the community call for a short spell before my soccer game at 3:30 if I can. Hope everyone has a great day ahead!

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 spies and happy Masters Thursday to you all!!! I hope that my workday goes by quickly so that I can catch some coverage this afternoon. With the weather in their area I suspect that it shouldn’t be a problem.
Planned on a round yesterday after work but not quite the way it played out. My wife called me at lunch and asked if she could tag along and play as well, she’s never played before but I think that she kind of caught the bug when we went to TopGolf in December. I tired to get us on the local par 3 course but the women’s high school team was using it so we went to one of the munis that I have a membership to and grabbed a cart for nine holes. We had a blast and she even out drove me on #9 which made her day. I sent driver up the left side of the fairway expecting a cut and got nothing but straight ball flight which caught a branch and stopped it at around 185 yards from the yellow tees. She, using my old TaylorMade R7 3 wood as a driver, went straight down the middle of the fairway for 155 yards from the red tees which put her drive a couple of yards ahead of mine.
That’s all that I have this morning, have a great day everybody!
 

Good morning MGSpies on a wet predawn Community Call Thursday in WNY with rain predominating the forecast now until Monday ☔  Got in another 9 hole round at the park with greens again yesterday although the 1st and 2nd fairways were prepared in the good weather for Monday's change from park to muni golf course, not stellar play as beginning any exercise program always starts gently without stressing the body too much. 

Work computer getting itself onto the network and full day of fun with finance ahead, yay 💻 hope to see lots of my MGS forum friends later today, and if possible for you, hope golf is a part of your day! ⛳

Good Morning Spies,
Masters day AND a Smoke test opportunity? Wow, what a way to start the day. Was just working on some tweaks to the driver at my sim, wouldn't this be fun to test! 😁
Have a great day all, enjoy the spectacle and hit em straight if you can!
 

Morning all! 
Redownloaded my Master’s app. Can’t remember who I picked to win, but I’m sure I’ll finish the pool in the mid-100s. 😆
Hopefully will make the community call. See you then.

Good morning!
Busy day ahead and coffee is in hand, ready to take it on.  Hoping to get a bunch done early so that I can watch some Masters and catch the community call later.  
Hope everyone has a great day!

And speaking of storms... BOOOOM!!! 🔥 
 
 

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!

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

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!

Hey @Rob Person told you they look back
 

Completed the CG water test on the Bridgestone Tour RX golf balls. 
Unofficial / Official review
First impression out of the box, they felt ruff, mind set graphics were ok and the white color was on the brighter side when compared to some other balls.
I set up my testing station, dissolved a ton of salt in the water and began the test, very first ball was NOT balanced properly, you will see in the video how it actually returned to the same spot where I had marked it after the first drop/spin.
Overall 2 out of the dozen were out of balance(CG) - Have fun with the video and pictures. Let me know what you think.
I had an issue uploading the video and photos. I will try in another post

Thank you MGS and Bridgestone for another great opportunity to review these balls and Congratulations to the testers. Can't wait to see what your testing results will be.
I got a surprise I forgot about even signing up for, but the Bridgestone RX balls came in the mail today. 
The unboxing is below and will start an unofficial review with a salt water CG test and what I think of them out the box.... and progress from there.
Just forgot to say.. The ball always looks back!
 

Hey @Rob Person told you they look back
 

More accuracy testing today (10 balls with gamer and Array through gates at 3’, 5’, and 9’). Tonight, the gamer outperformed the Array at every distance. That is the first time that’s happened.
I am running this accuracy test ten total times to help account for outlier performances (I suspect tonight is one of those).

New Stack Putting Personal Best set with the Array!

Between my son’s baseball tournaments and Ohio spring weather I’m having a hard time getting out on the course, but I can’t wait to see how the Edel performs when it counts!

Can you feel any twist of the head in your hands on the longer putts ?

Can you feel any twist of the head in your hands on the longer putts ?

the 2 bad ones will be put into the range ball bucket in the back yard.

I'm still trying to get there, Congratulations, are you going to be there all week?
