Good morning MGS troops! It’s game day and I tee off at 11 AM MST. So what am I doing up at 4:40 AM MST?

I have a problem when it comes to game day. I barely sleep. I’ve always been this way, and it’s frustrating. You see, I suffer from a thing called hyper anticipation. I don’t know if that’s a real thing or not, but I have it.

And it’s a handicap. Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful day and get to play the great game of personally inflicted turmoil and frustration er I mean Golf. ( It’s fun they said) 

Hopefully I won’t be doing this today. 
As always, happy birdie hunting 

 

Have a great day! Positive thoughts for Fairways, greens, and birdies!

Coffee. Check

Duty roster. Check. 

A$$holes and elbows. Check

Lunch. Still at home sitting in fridge.  NoT CHECK!  

Hope everyone has a great Saturday!

So… how many under par did you shoot?  

I was thinking @sirchunksalot was having a nightmare about walking through the thick grass and stickers wearing snake chaps and not being able to get back up the hill after seeing  @GolfSpy AFG ball after he tried to reach the 2nd green in two but failed because the speed training didn't give him that much speed.

Good morning Spies,

Uppa with a cuppa. It’s a bit cold and windy in CNY. I will get a run in. My wife is slowly feeling better. She felt a bit wiped yesterday. The kindness of this forum is truly appreciated. Blessed.
A day of errands in preparation for hosting Easter dinner. A chocolate cream pie to pick up. My wife’s favorite. I will have extra KP duty tomorrow. Potato peeling is at the top of list. 
We got look through the photos from our son’s wedding. One in particular stands out. The father of the groom busted out “The Sprinkler” on the dance floor.

Wishing all a wonderful day!

Glad to hear the Mrs. is on the mend and doing better. Hope you have a great day and your Easter celebration is memorable.

You got a crystal ball or something? How'd you look into my dreams?

Good morning spies, no golf today, just Easter egg hunts , and pictures with the Easter bunny! Have a great weekend everyone!

[William P]

Good morning Spies!

Hope everyone has their weekend started off in positive style. Playing catch up this morning but would appear quit a few are already on the course. Hots off to all who are there or will be there later today.

I will be heading to the range a little later to get aquatinted with the new TPT shafts before jumping out on the course Monday, weather permitting.

Finalized my travel arrangements last night for upcoming trek to Myrtle Beach first week in May. Looking forward to visiting old friend and getting quite a lot of golf crammed into the week. 

Hope everyone has a great day! Fairways and greens to all!

Good morning Spies!

Looking like a nicer day today, with temps reaching the mid-50s and sunny. I thought about trying to sneak a round in, but decided to rest this weekend instead.

Not much on the agenda today besides brunch in about an hour with my wife. Should be fun to get out of the house for a couple hours.

Planning on watching some golf today and basketball this evening. Should be pretty lowkey, which I don't mind one bit.

I hope everyone has a great Saturday and for those playing golf, hit 'em straight!

Just guessing, I had a nightmare that I had to help pull you up the hill

So you dreamt you pulled your back out? That's got to be a rough one.

Good morning MGSpies from sunny and rapidly warming WNY, well today anyway - frosty 25 when the dogs needed their breakfast and into the 40s now.  Last PGA HOPE session for WildWood CC indoors was last night, excellent group of Veterans who really bonded and were dedicated to not miss a single session which is remarkable with how busy people's calendars get.  Today is getting ready for family dinner this weekend and continuing the spring cleaning to be ready for summer.  Has me seriously thinking of golf and getting the season pass for playing 4 or 5 days after work each week.  Hope golf is a part of your day!

Good morniing Spies on a cool, cloudy, and hoping it is rain instead of flakes Saturday morning here in the Motor City area.

Much later start for me, but after a hectic and busy week, as well as time outdoors in the fresh air yesterday, all added up to a needed longer sleep.

Played yesterday, and the course was jam packed, so @ZJeb67 I hope that you don't run into a similar situation today.

@MattWillGolf glad to hear that your wife is better today and wishing a complete and speedy recovery. PWS: Nice picture in your post too! 

My plans for today are to help with preparations for Easter church services and dinner afterwards with my children and grandson.

Hope that your day is the best it possibly can be, and that something fun and enjoyable is in your plans. 

 

 

Only me and 2 others on the drizzly course this morning.
The umbrella holder on the push cart worked like a champ (very little wind)

Good morning! No golf on the agenda today and I’m jealous of all those who do get to get out and golf because it is beautiful around here today. We’re getting ready for some Easter egg hunting with all the kids, but right now we’re all fishing in the neighbors pond. No fish yet, but I’ve seen some big bass in there so I’m hoping one of the kids can get them! 
Have a good day everyone!

@MattWillGolf - glad your Mrs. is feeling a little better!

[ParFore74x]

Good morning again spies! Woke up at around 6:15 this morning and determined that 38° was plenty warm to walk 18 this morning. Not a great scoring round, only the second of the year, but a great morning for a quiet walk.

Hope that all of you have an enjoyable day!

well the gamer is gone... sold it last night and I gotta say I'm a bit emotional about it. I made some big putts with that stick, but we just weren't a match in the end. I'm sure it's going to a good home - the buyer is in Pinehurst. Anyone ever get emotional when you've sold a club and decided to part with it? 

looking forward to the new one coming on Sunday.

hoping against hope that my new iron shafts arrive by Saturday so I can rebuild my set. if not, no golf for me since I've already pulled the heads and grips.  

in the meantime someone please tell Mother Nature to turn off this firehose along the eastern seaboard. we've had more than enough rain here.

hope you all are able to find some time to have some fun this weekend and relax a bit with family.

Remember R1 from my PING review that fell off the cart and broke the shaft?  I loved that driver…. And would probably still be using it if it hadn’t have been ruined.  Pretty upset about it breaking.

Good afternoon, Spies!!!

Missed getting on this morning as I was at a swing lesson, then hit a bucket after that.

Hope everyone's Saturday is going well.

Happy Easter to the MGS family. 
  Getting an early start on the work day. Today will be a long one but with today being a holiday the C-suite will not be engaged in our daily operations so actual work will get done and time won’t be lost in having zoom meeting(s) with the ivory tower. 
  My hope is that today is a magnificent day for everyone and their families. Going to grab a couple of cups of coffee and then will start to get after it. Speaking of coffee

[skraeling]

Made ai draw a several ipa fever meme.  This is what it came up with.

happy zombie raptor jesus day.

[GolfSpy_APH]

Time change finally happened here. Now I'm back on normal time with all of you. 

Another relaxing day here but may try to get a virtual round in... Course suggestions? 

[berkeleybob]

Morning all!

Hope you’re having a wonderful Easter weekend. Golf hasn’t been on the agenda these past couple days, as we’re prepping to have a little family come by for meals and such.

Hope you’re having fun with you and yours!

[Rob Person]

Happy Easter morning spies!

Last on duty day, and it needs to go quickly!

Family is being very generous  as Easter dinner will be put on hold at the in laws until I can get there after work. 

But....Golf tomorrow!!!

Happy Easter everyone  

[Josh Parker]

Good morning and happy Easter!

2 beer can chickens on the smoker, coffee made and house is quiet. Wife is making almost 50 deviled eggs and we will be heading down the road to my folks house for lunch with family and friends. 

Planning on getting a round in this afternoon. 

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning all, quick question (in the right space this time!)

Has anyone had any experience dealing with Payntr shoes directly?  I placed an order directly through their website 11 days ago now and the only progress I see is that the shipping label (FedEx) has been created, but the order hasn’t moved. Wondering if this is normal for them or if somehow my order is experiencing a glitch?  I’ve reached out to customer service and it’s been radio silence in the 6 days since I reached out.  Thanks in advance and Happy Easter !

[tdroma98]

Good Sunday Morning & Happy Easter Spies! 
A brisk Central Florida morning 55 degrees. Starting 2nd cup of espresso, Ranger duties this morning.  Shouldn’t be too busy, so maybe a round of golf today. Hmmm. 

Happy Easter to you all and your families! Stay warm & Hit’em straight! ️

I have not, but it looks like there is a thread with people who have. May also ask the question there.

@Jean D This past week speaking with a golf pro at a CC I was playing  with a member, stated the Payntr shoes can take 10-12 business days to ship from when ordered. Don’t know if this helps.
