If I ever get to play with any of you Gents I'll bring the Shanks, you take care of the rest. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Getting my Last names is the worst thing in the world. Just ask the guy at the Charlevoix Country club on the 2nd hole. It's demoralizing. I have to write that word at least once a day, and stare at it. - ALAN D. SHANKS Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Son of a! Major car issues with the wife's car. Might break the golf fund bank. Edit: False alarm!! Game on! - Alan

I'm doing it. Got the restock email for the J15 wedges. 52/53° and 56/57°... 1° weak each. And I'm buying some Wilson FG Tour balls, stand by for review on the OFFICIAL BALL REVIEW Thread. And a new putter on its way. Ping Sigma Kushin (straight). I put the new irons on hold. I struck mine well last outing. But I can't putt, and my gosh my wedges are worn out. Fixing the broken parts first! Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Nice. I lived in Wayland for elementary school. Spent some time down at Bells while it was in K-Zoo with my dad. I used to hustle the Ping Pong table. - Alan

Haha. Just remembered something. Last year I played in a Memorial Day Scramble. Standing on the tee box (we had 14 guys on one hole, one of the best days of golf I ever had, very fun)... Anyways, we were all standing there when a guy is teeing off, he took a nasty whack at the ball, sounded good, every one said so. But no one could see the ball. It was buried 2" deep 1" in front of his tee. Now THAT is golfing! Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Was that at Boyne? - Alan

I quit golfing 2 summers ago in mid August. Second hole tee shot was a dead SH#!K right through someone's back slider... with my PW. I was playing out of my mind before that in the mid to low 70's... gave it up for one piss poor shot. Edit: I am back now, last year was relearning the basics, can't keep me down. Fixed that flaw, hopefully get back to those low 70's, but if not I'm just gonna enjoy the game and except the fact that I'm just gonna suck sometimes. - Alan

It's too dang cold where I'm at. Oh you meant the peppers. Yeah. I like em' spicy, just not that early in the am. I work on boats for a living. I'll be on a surfboard at MOST... I really like land, makes me feel safe, and stable footed. Plus BOAT stands for Bet On Another Thousand, that'd be cutting into my golf funds. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

It's marketing. Everyone wants one now. Subliminal messages, did you see the weights shining in the sun when Sergio made that last putt? Looked like headlights or something out of a sci-fi movie. 8 consecutive tournaments with it being the #1 putter is hard to argue with. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

If I were Rickie I might wear a little green today. To see how it looks.. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

In about 10-15 years if any of you take a Vaction to Chincoteague Island, VA. Look me up, I'll be running a coffee roastery/bagel/breakfast shop. Ah... retirement dreams. Open from 0530-1300, out swinging the clubs by 1400. Sorry: 5:30am - 1:00pm on the course by 2:00pm. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

So every weekend for the past 2 years I make at least one omelette. Pretty much the same thing every time. My wife hates tacos (who hates tacos) so I make myself a taco omelette instead. 1. Ham / Bacon 2. Jalapeño 3. Onion 4. Red / Green Bell 5. Serrano Pepper 6. Cilantro 7. Radish 8. And mix in a few in season vegetables But today I didn't have any cilantro, and I wasn't paying attention, chopped up an entire jalapeño and didn't seed it. First bite was a mighty surprise.

Music on the course... I'm not one to complain much, my golf season is 4-5 months max, and I'm wearing a snowmobile suit for 2 of those. But I can't stand listening to the latest rap music coming from a giant a$$ speaker that the whole course can hear. First round of the year today, drunk a$$es stumbling all over the place, with some great music playing... I almost left the course. If you want to listen to music go to a damn concert. Music on the golf course is the sweet sound of a pured shot. If you're gonna bring tunes, keep it in the damn cart! Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

First Tee [emoji1360] Told you strokerace every round I pull a Phil from the straw. Cleared it too. Greens were like glue... how does this happen? I usually use that little back stop to help, not this time I guess. Bunch of punks blaring music and having a giant party out here. Stuff like that makes me want to give this game up. I come out here for the peace and quiet. Not for 50¢ and Colt 45. Wind was 25mph+ I hit the 2 iron all day. It's my new favorite club. It's a 712u 3 iron bent to 19°. Forged goodness. More compact than the Rest of my irons. Need blades back in the bag. Good thing is I was middleing most of my shots. Season appears to be in good shape. - Da Yooper @og_shankster (instagram)

Got the 12:00 tee time!! First round o the year. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

If I can get the clubhouse to answer I'll be heading out shortly. Light frost last night, hope they didn't postpone opening day. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Just rip that driver and rely on the technology in those Eye 2's. Looks just like a friend one mines bag from a bit ago. Good luck. - Da Yooper @og_shankster (instagram)

I have a TM JetSpeed 17° it's amazing. - Da Yooper @og_shankster (instagram)

That looks tasty. I see your an IPA fan. What's your favorite? - Da Yooper @og_shankster (instagram)

We'll see. Keep them out of the swamp and I'll be good. It's around 25KT's of wind here right now, directly from our Canadian friends. Balmy 43° right now. Tomorrow supposed to be mid 60's! Thanks! - Da Yooper @og_shankster (instagram)

Course is "supposed" to open tomorrow here. I'll be out at 0600 getting warmed up. First round of the year is the best isn't it? - Da Yooper @og_shankster (instagram)

Stay safe down there! Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy
