@sirchunksalot hope it all goes well and the BP stabilises now

Thank you! It was pretty good this morning and I'm hoping the white coat syndrome doesn't get the best of me once I walk in. 

[GHOST Golf ANYDAY Bags - 2024 Forum Review]

Congratulations testers! These seem to be a hit with the folks that ordered them and I can't wait to see what y'all think about them.

Congratulations everyone! It looks like we have a great group of testers and I can't wait to hear how you all get along with these beauties.

Good morning everyone! 

It's a beautiful Tuesday morning and I'm sitting in the parking lot of work hoping I can pass the check to get to return to work. My BP was good this morning and I hope it stays that way. 

I hope y'all have a great day!

Hope you get it worked out Jason.

My BP is high every time I go to Cadiac Rehab therapy.  They don’t let anyone participate if BP is 170 or higher.  I take my BP at home before I go to therapy… normal-ish.  Get there, sit waiting for 20 minutes and it’s 170+.  So I have to sit for 10 minutes; they retake my BP and it’s 151.  During the cardio exercise, it goes up to 162; after the cardio and cool-down stretching, it’s 120.  Funny… it never gets above 145 until my next Rehab visit, and we go through the same routine all over again.  Doc put me on another heart med… amlodipine.  I’m already on COREG.

Kenny, I tend to suffer from white coat syndrome whenever I get my pressure taken, I was sitting in the waiting room at the clinic for at least 20 minutes and I'm the room for another 10 and it still came back as high. It's currently sitting at 131/85 as I'm sitting here with the dogs on my lap. 

I'm glad to hear it doesn't go up much for you when you're exercising, I was told it would raise it quite a bit and I'm really wanting to get out and start walking or something to get some exercise. I mean, we have a pretty big golf trip coming up and it's bad enough y'all are going to see my limping around after getting off my feet for a while. I want to be in decent enough shape to not be breathing to heavily walking up hills.

sorry to hear the appointment was frustrating.  Hope you have a follow-up and this gets figured out.   

I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it, it was hovering in the 135/80 range the last few times I've gone to the doctor and it seems like an abnormality to be as high as it is, so I know there is a chance of it dropping. We have a monitor at the house and I've been keeping an eye on it and will continue to. Thanks Chris!

When I first was diagnosed with HPB, I had no history but it was extremely elevated.   If they don’t want to do meds, there should at least be a series of follow-ups to assess if it is better after the vertigo and allergies have cleared up.   

They did give me a prescription for Losartin and hopefully it'll keep the high blood pressure in check, they also prescribed Zyrtec to help clear up the allergies since they were still enflamed. 

I just find it weird that a couple of doctors were like "your BP was 180/110... Meh". Lose weight and diet, which I do need to do. 

Right now I just want to be able to go back to work without burning up all my time off.

Might want to at least consider getting a second opinion. That said; I am hoping that your primary Medico is correct and that your BP is not a significant issue. Take care my friend take care.

It's frustrating to say the least. The doctor at the ER and at primary care are saying that since I haven't had a history of hypertension it's probably an anomaly caused by the vertigo which was probably caused by allergies. I have to go back to the clinic at work tomorrow to see if my BP is down and I can return to work. I just wish they'd quit jerking me around about this. 

The lady at the clinic has a horrible bedside manner and was asking me if I knew how to properly take a reading as I was getting a reading and having me answer which I've read is a no no. 

I wish they'd either let me go back to work or put me on short term to get out under control. 

[The Good Morning Thread]

I just went to the doctor now I'm in medical trying to get my return to work settled. My BP was still elevated at the doctor and my wife had to advocate for some meds to help with it. It's crazy they don't seem to take this seriously. I realize every time I've been to the doctor it's been good, but c'mon. 

Hopefully it'll all get settled before to long. 

[The Good Morning Thread]

Good morning everyone! 

It's the Monday after the Masters and I enjoyed getting to watch a bunch of the tournament. I was hoping to see Max or Tommy pull it out, but Scottie is a force of nature right now. I was also impressed with Åberg, that young man looks to be a star in the making. 

Gotta go see the doc today about my BP and hopefully get clearance to go back to work. 

@Cfhandyman that is freaking exciting, you know we'll all want every detail. Have fun at TXG!

I hope y'all have a great day!

[Burger Talk]

Burger cooked medium with ketchup, mayo, lettuce, sauteed onions, and bacon on a toasted bun. For my side I would go either fries or onion rings washing it down with water.

Time, temp, and at what internal temp do you pull it to rest? Killer smoke ring brother

I smoked it for 3 hours at 225 and I pulled it at an internal temperature of 155. 

I appreciate the compliment!

[Cooking]

I smoked a pork loin today using hickory and some rub from Meat Church. I've got to say, it turned out really good. It paired wonderfully with my wife's green beans. 

[TaylorMade Qi10 Drivers - 2024 Forum Member Review]

@Michael.Sandoval33 great review and I'll echo what others have Said here in that it's great to see your confidence grow with the QI-10. The two rounds you broke 100 are just the beginning and I expect to hear good things from you this year. Not to mention, the drop in handicap was impressive! 

[The Masters - 2024]

It's looking like everyone behind Scottie is folding like cheap lawn chairs. There's still a lot of golf to go and this is Augusta so anytime can happen. 

[How'd you play?]

I'm glad to hear you're feeling better, @Tom the Golf Nut food poisoning is a nasty thing to get ahold of. 

[The Masters - 2024]

I'm enjoying watching Tiger playing with Shipley right now, it's good to see the big cat laughing as he's walking down the fairway and talking to the amateur ass u have a feeling this is something Shipley will remember for the rest of his life.

That is one good looking putter and it's cool to read about the historical significance of the tree they used to make the sole plate. 

[The Good Morning Thread]

Good morning everyone!

It's Masters Sunday and I'm excited to see who comes out of it with the green jacket. I'm kinda rooting for Homa to win his first major but wouldn't be disappointed to see Scottie or Morikawa win. 

@Jean D your simulator setup looks great! 

I'm planning on smoking a pork loin today for dinner tonight and other than that, I didn't have many plans. 

I hope y'all have a wonderful Sunday!

[The Good Morning Thread]

Just had my first relatively normal reading in my BP, 128/84. It's been hovering around 140/90 most of the day and seeing it get back down around normal has been a relief. 

[The Masters - 2024]

I'm really hoping to see a shootout between Scottie, Colin, and Max. Åberg really impressed me today and that hole out from Bryson on the 18th was something else.

Thank you! I’ve been working on the most important part of the game for any golfer, that area between our ears. Looking for the smart shots which may not necessarily be the aggressive shots that I take way too often. 

I can't remember who said it, but it was something like "the most important six inches in golf is the space between your ears"and I totally agree. We tend to get in our on way on the course. I've been watching some videos recently from Golf Sidekick and he talks course strategy. I'm hoping I can convince myself to be a little smarter on the course. 

I'm not going to say I completely agree on everything he says, but I do like how he plots his way around a course. That, and the language disconnect is pretty entertaining.

Only the fourth 18 hole round of the year for me and already a new PR with a 40/42 for an 82. I sure hope that wasn’t a fluke and it is a sign of things to come. Biggest thing for me today was keeping the doubles off the card. Tee shots were not great but they never were terrible and the short game really helped me out today including 29 putts. Stats for the round were two birds, four pars, and twelve bogeys with four fairways and three GIR. 

Congratulations on the great round and personal best! I'm happy to hear that.

Maybe a hot take on here, but I think the LIV players wearing their logos is not a good look, especially with how bad the logos are in the first place.

I agree, I would much rather see sponsors logos than what they're putting out. I know they're probably contractually obligated to wear their team logos and some players might not be sponsored.
