  1. But, but, but, you gotta match the shoes with the outfit.
  2. My wife made homemade cream cheese pumpkin pie tonight for a rare dessert.
  3. The main difference I've noticed in different shoes is the amount of traction I get and I've seen a slight difference in length. I've got different pairs and brands. I have two pair of Adidas (identical), FootJoy, and Skechers. The Skechers have nubs on the bottom and offer excellent traction and slightly mark up the greens like the old spiked shoes. I feel like I've hit longer shots with them because they keep me grounded better. Keep in mind, this is all anecdotal. I've lost the driver sensor to my ShotScope and can't verify but I did nearly drive a 250 yard green and would have if I hadn't been left.
  4. I'm sorry for your loss @David Leighton Reid.
  5. My wife actually cooked a homemade cream cheese pumpkin pie last night but we don't get to sample it until today. She said the instructions called for allowing it to cool for five hours. It sounds like you had a wonderful day and I'm glad you did.
  6. Good morning everyone! I'm enjoying a mug of coffee on a beautiful, cool morning while sitting in the parking lot at work. I had a fun round yesterday with a friend from work and his sons and while I didn't have my best day striking the ball, I had a blast playing with some wonderful people. Priya is doing wonderful, she's back to walking normal and is her usual, perky self. I hope you all have a great start to the week!
  7. I appreciate it! I'm planning on giving them a call tomorrow and see if they got turned in. I'm due for a new pair and need to go by the optometrist but I was planning on replacing my sunglasses since the coating they put on them is starting to come off.
  8. Happy birthday @MattWillGolf! Sounds like you had a good dinner and I hope you enjoyed your day.
  9. I loved how it challenged every aspect of my game and really made me think about how to approach every shot. I remembered the 10th vividly from the last time I played there because his sons met is on that hole after we had played it and we came back to play it again. First time I hit driver and hit it well but was on a down slope and had a tough shot to the green. When we drivey back up, I hit 4 hybrid and had an easier second shot. The greens were what got me, on one hole I had a downhill left to right putt that was about 15 feet. I hit it with the intention of it going 3 and it trundled down and went in. Definitely look forward to playing it again!
  10. I was fortunate to play Windstone Golf Course with a buddy from work and his two boys. It's a beautiful, private course in Ringgold GA and it's a beast. The greens were glass even in the wetter part of the morning and it made downhill putts a bit challenging. I shot 112 and I have no idea what the score was each nine since I wasn't the one keeping score. I had some good holes and was able to get quite a few pars and bogeys. I also had those holes where my score went through the roof. There are quite a few narrow driving holes and I lost a couple of balls. Everything in my bag was decent, I hit some good and some bad. I nearly chipped in twice, once hitting the stick from 30 yards. Mostly it was about hanging out with some friends, we had a blast! Now, it wasn't all sunshine. I lost a brand new MGS forum glove before teeing off. I had taken it off after the range and put it in my back pocket and I guess it fell out. I went to the pro shop and no one had turned out in. The kicker was, after the round and a few miles from the course I realized I forgot to grab my eyeglasses. I turned around and went back and nada, they didn't find them in any cart. I talked to the pro shop and they hadn't been turned in. I think they might have bounced out on the course. Fortunately, I have an older pair at the house and was able to find them so I wouldn't have to wear my safety glasses everywhere. I'm just thankful I had those.
  11. Good morning everyone! I'm up a bit before my alarm was set to go off for my tee time this morning. I guess I'm a bit excited to play and it should be a good time with Chris and his sons. Priya is doing better, she's been able to put more weight on her foot and even limp prance when food is involved. Thanks to everyone for your kind words. I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!
  12. That's a pretty good idea! We have a set of stairs, but they don't like it so a ramp might be a good idea. Thanks Chuck!
  13. Thanks for the kind words and advice, Derek. We're letting her pretty much rest and take it easy today and keeping a vigilant eye on her to make sure she doesn't jump down from the couch. I'm glad that I'm seeing progress from last night, it was breaking my heart to watch her almost plant her face in the floor trying to walk.
  14. Good morning everyone! I'm a little stressed right now, our weenie dog Priya hurt her foot last night and is limping around. I couldn't take her to the emergency vet last night since it's a 45 minute drive and she has seizures every time she gets in a car and it was right around the time it's too late for it to be safe for me to drive because I'm about to pass out. She's doing a little better this morning and can actually walk some without falling. She's not yelping or crying out in pain, so I'm hoping it's just a sprain from jumping off the couch, she's a bit chunky. We're going to monitor her and see if we can make it to Monday and take her somewhere closer. Other than that, I'm just playing a video game to take my mind off things. I've still got my tee time tomorrow and hoping things go well enough I can make it. @Rob Person it's good to see you back and I'm glad you had a safe trip. I hope y'all have a good day!
  15. I've got a round scheduled for Sunday morning and I decided to hit up the range mostly to work on clubs off the tee since the course I'm playing isn't set up well for driver every hole. I started out with wedges and was having a bit of a problem from time to time with chunks and discovered I was not keeping my weight forward through the swing and falling back. I worked it out reasonably well, but still had some issues. My irons were not as good as they were in my round a couple of weekends ago, I couldn't recapture the magic I found and struggled a bit. All the clubs I'll be using off the tee Sunday were decent, I need to work on not pulling them though. I was getting decent strikes but hitting them way offline. It should be an interesting but fun round this weekend.
