  1. Thanks and nice to have a fellow runner around here. Unlike many I enjoy my runs and when I am in good running shape I feel the best. Not there yet but maybe some day again.
  2. I think we all agree, given the MGS testing results a PING G430 MAX 10K should be the one. Thank you for all you do!
  3. Things have really gotten on a roll here. After a short vacation where I managed to maintain which was the goal. Things are moving back down. Running still, 3 to 4 days a week but got my desk treadmill back working for the off days so I can put in 3 hours and about 7.5 miles while I work to keep things moving. Eating has been the biggest thing though, getting back to the more thoughtful and plant based diet really helps. Also this weekend we had some trees cut down that I not get to stack so 2 to 3 hours of that the past couple of days has been some good working as well. Down about 10 lbs so far. Looking to keep things rolling this week!
  4. Good morning all! Had a unexpectedly busy weekend. We had reached out to a local forester about taking down some trees and given the need for the right weather and his schedule to line up. So Saturday at 10:30 we got a text asking if he could come take them down. So spent the rest of the day with him and starting the clean up. glad to have most of the trees down especially the one growing out over our house that had internal rot on the back side. This led to more clean up yesterday morning before we went to my in-laws for an afternoon visit. So will be picking up wood a little bit each day and trying to get someone to take it off my hands as we can't possibly use it all. Now back to work for a normal week with spring in the air. Have a great Monday everyone!
  5. Congrats on the great progress. I know you have been working hard on this, and being able to practice driver all year sounds like a massive upgrade. Also on how to count it front anything that starts with a 9 is single digit handicap. The game is hard enough no need to make this too complicated.
  6. Glad to hear you are OK and got the treatment you need. I wish you a speedy recovery!
  7. Good morning all! Back from out kids birthday trip after some fun, skiing, skating, and swimming at the indoor pool. It was a great time and the kids seem to have had a blast. Was still off work yesterday so my son and I got our hair cut and then went for bike ridding where our middle child rocked it and moved up to the pedal bike! I will give a shout out balance bikes, our first two have used them and moving to a pedal bike for both has been very smooth. One odd day of work work today to get a few things done and then dive into another weekend with not much going on, but I am sure we will find something fun to do. Have a great day and weekend everyone!
  8. Been keeping up the running and the eating has gotten back in line in the past bit so now down about 5 pounds. Just needed to clean things up on the snacking that was going on. Time to keep the momentum going here as the weather gets warmer and I continue to get out there to run and hopefully in the near future golf.
  9. Good morning all! A nice weather day here finally, starting a bit cold, but unfortunately yard is still soupy and muddy. Going to need to get a turf grass degree here to get some grass growing to stop things getting this bad in the spring. That and some extra drainage might be in order. Thankfully its a Friday and the family and I are on a little vacation next week which will be great. Hopefully we get a bit of snow up north for cross country skiing. Right now that is the prediction. Have a great weekend and Friday everyone!
  10. A podcast that fits this topic, I wish I had a course that would think this way about things around here. https://thefriedegg.com/fried-egg-podcast/how-to-build-a-profitable-mom-and-pop-golf-course-5/
  11. Totally agree. The course closest to me had a good deal last year as they were bought and getting renovated. Now they already went up 500 for this year where the latest update was they would not be open until Early to Mid Summer for the new front 9, and no date for the back nine opening. Meaning you can get probably a nice 4 months of golf at a 9 hole course for 1300. No thanks. I can only imagine how much it will be next year when all 18 are likely open. My guess is pushing 2000 and daily rates around 80 to 90 at peak. I know that might seem low to some but daily rounds used to 50 at peak. But such is life in a more rural area where a resort buys your course and wants to attract people with more income than people in the area tend to make and can easily afford all this. Thankfully there is another local course bought that seems to be going to keeping things reasonable and as they update things are keeping it to 650 for this year. So that will likely be my home course next year. Its a small course with some wonky layout like you mention but at least I can afford it. I'll leave it there as I could complain about what is happening to my former course and the disregard for area players as there are 3 courses withing 30 minutes of my house and 2 will be owned by this resort now and likely out of many people price range.
  12. Good morning all! Great testing opportunity out there with the new PING wedges, I have the Glide 4.0 and love them, so good luck everyone. Had a rainy evening that is really making everything very muddy and reminding me that I need to try to get more grass growing next year. Today is a usual day with some work to be done and the kids off to do there thing. Have a great Thursday everyone!
  13. Good morning all! Another rainy day on tap here after a rainy day yesterday. Hopefully the kids won't go too crazy, yesterday was a bit crazy with the energy. Otherwise for work nothing too crazy meeting wise so just keeping the trains moving. Have a great Wednesday everyone!
  14. Times like these make me want a loft lie machine. Its a bit far to get that done around here but I would love to check
  15. Good morning all! Yesterday was a lovely day and kids had a lot of fun. Back to normal this morning with school work and work work to keep us busy. Could be another rainy day which has our road nice and muddy, but we were already light on snow so hopefully it does not last too long. Have a great day everyone!
  16. Everything is looking good there and hopefully the weather keeps going well so the season can get rolling.
  17. I like it happy birthday to him as well! 17 me would have liked that birthday menu as well, current me imagines how much my stomach would hurt afterwards
  18. Thank you she is already diving into presents and my in-laws are coming over a bit later.
  19. Good morning all! Had a nice weekend with the family. Got some time outside and just relaxing which is always nice. Today is my middle child's birthday today, turning 5 already which is just crazy it seems like just yesterday she was born. I know it will only get worse from here. So there is ice cream for breakfast, cupcakes for dessert, and she has requested pasta for dinner (has not learned to live large on that one yet). Have a great Monday everyone!
  20. That is a good game, thankfully I am a bit too low in the org to have too many meetings with those word popping up but had a meeting with someone last week where we tried to wedge in as many as we could that was fun Hopefully not so much it interferes with priorities like golf
  21. Love a good KPI session, any other good business terms in there. Will the be any level setting, getting on the same page, synergy, talking a pulse check? You wouldn't want it to think you are ignoring it or anything
  22. Good morning all! Kids had a great day yesterday with music and ice skating with their cousin. Should be a quieter Friday for everyone. With the weather going back in the warm direction I am sure there will be some outside time coming up. Weekend has no major plans but I am sure we will find something to keep ourselves busy. Have a great Friday and weekend everyone!
  23. Good morning all! @sirchunksalot hope the appointment goes well today. Had a rainy day yesterday, but kids managed to make it to a friend house for a play date which went much longer than I expected, but that was good since they were having a good time together. Today the kids have some music, and then getting to go skating with their cousin this afternoon which should be fun. More work for myself today but has been a week with light meetings which is a nice change of pace. Have a great day everyone!
