I'm quite sure those were "available" throughout the lockdown if you looked. I've been going to Massage Envy for 5 years, after all there are the official massage therapist for the PGA Tour. In the 5 years I have only had one therapist until yesterday. I didn't know that the techniques used were so different between therapists. Both are good but knowing that, I would probably see multiple therapists after my first visit to see which I prefer. tony@CIC, sirchunksalot, Rickp and 1 other 4 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tony@CIC Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2020 For those of you, especially, @MaxEntropy and @fixyurdivot, who saw this thread last week: Last year I ended up with a 21.5 index. With the new GHIN calculation this year it went up to 22.5. I worked hard over the winter on my drives, fairway shots and putting. After 20 rounds I was able to lower my Index to 19.6.as of last week. A pretty big downward jump given it was cold, windy and miserable for probably half of those rounds. FYI just 2 weeks ago I booked my best ever round of 84 but basically the top 8 out of 20 were based on 90-91 scoring rounds.

Popular Post Golfspy_CG2 Posted June 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2020 Speaking of anniversary's, we celebrated our 25th last weekend. I know most on here aren't on my FB page, so here's "our story" that I shared, it's golf related, so you might enjoy it, even though it's a bit of a read! I know most on here aren't on my FB friends page, so here's "our story" I shared there. 25 years ago last week, a couple female friends and I were sitting around in their apartment. We were lamenting the fact that none of us had a date that Saturday night. Well after a couple bottles of wine, someone came up with the idea that we should all place an ad in one of the local classified dating sections. This was before Match com or really any dot com for that matter. We had to call an 800 number and leave the recorded AD. Mine said something about liking Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain . Ok not really, but I'm sure it was something very cliche'ish. I'm not sure if they ever actually recorded their ads or just laughed at me for actually doing it. In any case, after sleeping it off the next morning, I had forgotten about it. I left on Monday for a work trip. When I got back I had received about a dozen voicemails from my ad on my answering machine. I actually reached out to a couple but only three of them led to an actual "let's meet". The first two were forgettable and never led to a second date. The third one was much different. It was from a Michelle who was unsure if she wanted to actually go through with meeting. It took some convincing but we met at the now closed White Flint Mall. We had a brief lunch in the food court and in my nervousness I put crackers in my ice tea instead of my soup . She acted like she didn't notice and I of course acted as if that's how I drink my ice tea Well that led to a second date a couple nights later. Then the big event. She invited me to their Fathers Day brunch a week later. It was going really well. Some of you know what else occurs on Fathers Day. Yep, the final round of the US Open. And most of you on this page know of my slight interest in golf . So on a restroom trip I stopped at the bar to check out the leader-board. Well I lost track of time and next I thing I knew Michelle was standing next to me asking if everything was ok. She was worried I wasn't enjoying the lunch. It was then and there she found out that golf was a major part of what I enjoy. She has been understanding and supportive of that addiction which ultimately has become my career. I knew then I had someone special. And for 24 years our anniversary often revolved around me being able to watch or in some years attend the US Open. We always manage to get a special trip or just a nice dinner in as well. In 25 years we have been through job losses/changes, deaths of our fathers, my mother, multiple surgeries for each of us, a couple household moves and now a global pandemic. But also, fortunately more great times and laughs than either of us can remember. Michelle is a very private person who doesn't like being the center of attention. So instead of posting a picture of her wonderful smile. I'll share a picture of a place that has held many of those wonderful memories for us. A place we had intended to celebrate our 25th year together. But it'll have to wait for a time where we will be able to enjoy it to its fullest. I'm so lucky to have had her by my side for all these years. I couldn't have found a better person to share my love with and to love me unconditionally. For that I consider myself luckier than I ever could have imagined. I can't wait for the next 25 years.

A place we had intended to celebrate our 25th year together. But it'll have to wait for a time where we will be able to enjoy it to its fullest. I'm so lucky to have had her by my side for all these years. I couldn't have found a better person to share my love with and to love me unconditionally. For that I consider myself luckier than I ever could have imagined. I can't wait for the next 25 years. Wow!!! An actual ad!!! Almost like “Sleepless in Seattle”!!! Great story! Congratulations, and God bless you both!

They wrapped up mallet putters last week (I finished prior to the shutdown). Started players distance irons yesterday. I seriously thought this said mullet putters the first time I read it.

Popular Post fixyurdivot Posted June 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 16, 2020 Up until I found a DIY video, which helped me repair my laptop, this post could have easily ended up in the "Got Problems" thread. My laptop has been acting squirrely of late; slow response, delayed typing and yesterday morning, while I'm on-line with a fellow spies finalizing our PNW Meet-up, the power jack wouldn't stay connected and I'm getting the low battery warning . So I search for some information on this issue and how to repair. Most lead me to R&R of the internal power socket cord which are available but a week+ shipment. I then see a video with a guy and a glue gun. Never having done so before, I venture into open heart surgery on my Dell. The small ribbon cable connectors under the keypad presenting the most challenging part - initially thought I broke the keypad ribbon and getting that "oh snap" sinking feeling . Long story short, after the glue gun repair and reassembly, she fired up and is working like new... most important, no leftover screws or parts! Also gone was this annoying pop-up about the charge cord/adapter which I now think was causing some backscene CPU exercises and causing the sluggish performance. Turns out the plastic nest the socket is secured too is pretty weak and often breaks. I packed enough glue in and around the area that it should outlast the laptop. Anyway, thought I'd share the info in case others might run into this same problem. These DIY videos have saved me a handful of times... awesome!! downlowkey, MattF, tommc23 and 7 others 10 Quote G410 Plus, 9 Degree Driver G400 SFT, 16 Degree 3w G400 SFT, 19 Degree 5w ZX5 Irons 4-AW Glide 2.0 56 Degree SW (removed from double secret probation ) ER5v Putter (Official Review) AI-One Milled Seven T CH (Official Review) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommc23 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Spent 40 minutes doing cardio at work today. It felt good and I had to break up the monotony of only doing 2 runs today. JohnSmalls, bens197, Rickp and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
