Popular Post Northern Monkey Posted May 1 Popular Post Share Posted May 1 4 minutes ago, sirchunksalot said: Good morning everyone! It's a foggy morning after some heavy rain yesterday. I hope all the wet weather is gone for the next couple of days as I have a tee time tomorrow after work. @Northern Monkey after the stress I've had recently I need some golf retail therapy. I'll probably stop this weekend and stock up on some golf balls for the forum trip. We'll be down near Dick's Sporting Goods and I might stop by to get some. I hope everyone has a great day! I can highly recommend golf retail therapy for stress relief but I must warn you of possible side effects. These are typically exhibited by the female in your life and can include, but are not limited to, increased irritability, a reduction in harmonious communication, an expectation of additional assistance in household chores, and/or gifts to a similar value. My advice, as a suitably experienced practitioner, is that you do not allow the aforementioned female to become aware of any stress reducing golf retail therapy and merely explain that your reduced stress levels are entirely related to having said female in your life. I hope this is of assistance to you tdroma98, ParFore74x, rkj427 and 15 others 14 4 Quote Driver: G430 Max Fairway: LTDx Max 3 wood Hybrid: King Tec 3 hybrid Irons: Forged Tec 4-PW + GW Wedges: Jaws 56 SM9 52 Putter: Mallet Ball: Chrome Soft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rkj427 Posted May 1 Popular Post Share Posted May 1 Good morning Spies on this first day of May 2024. Yesterday was a roller coaster type of day for me, as it was officially my last day at work. Wanted to make sure that all I needed or wanted to do to ensure that there was a pathway to success for those left in charge was present, but also realizing that it would be the last day to see everyone I interacted or worked with on a regular, daily basis. Biggest challenge for me now will be getting my body clock more aligned with not waking up at 4:00AM with no alarm, and on a later schedule. They had a luncheon for me on Monday, and that was a great gesture, as it showed that they cared and I mattered, as that is not a usual thing they do. Had some artwork given to me, a caricature picture by the company, and then a Corvette photo from 4 friends who do more work with their hands than use a computer. Weather here is supposed to be gorgeous for the next couple days, so I may find range time later today, and try to get a round in before we get more rain on Friday. Weekend for me looking like another charitable day for the Leader Dogs on Saturday, and possibly a round in on Sunday again. Hope that your day is the best it can be, and that something fun and enjoyable is in your plans.

I love how they incorporated both Corvettes and Leader Dogs into the charicature. @yungkory I almost was still in bed this morning, my alarm didn't go off and my wife had to wake me up.

Popular Post Josh Parker Posted May 1 Popular Post Share Posted May 1 Good morning! A little on the tired side this morning as the 3yr old decided to climb into our bed at 11:30/12 and kick me all night. haha It won't last long though so I try to just remember that. Coffee is being made and doing a little work this morning while the house is quiet. Planning on getting a round in this afternoon if the weather cooperates. @rkj427 congrats on the first day of freedom! Don't worry, the 4am no alarm still happens for me 4 years after leaving the "clock". I have learned to utilize that time for coffee, stretching and MGS. Hope everyone has a great day!

Popular Post ParFore74x Posted May 1 Popular Post Share Posted May 1 (edited) Good morning spies! Late night of soccer has me with tired eyes this morning. Might need some caffeine on the way to work. Weather is looking promising for an afternoon round BUT, I should mow the yard…..decisions, decisions. I’ll take the clubs with me just in case I’m not feeling responsible after work. Congratulations on the retirement @rkj427! Sounds like your employer and coworkers appreciate what you did for them.

Popular Post EasyPutter Posted May 1 Popular Post Share Posted May 1 Good morning MGSpies on a very nice WNY morning indeed with so many positives going on, hot coffee in the mug, computer already going up on the network for the usual zero commute and knowing Robert @rkj427 has been checker flagged for winning the race to retirement on the first day of the new month! Not going to mention all the great camaraderie in the thread of mutual support for those in need of golf retail therapy, which I highly support and, I guess I did mention it Had a great day yesterday with more to follow about that in the Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke thread when I get a chance to post there today, and a very nice dinner with grown up niece and nephew from the Carolinas up for a visit to their grandparents without their parents and who I have not seen in a decade +3 Golf should be 9 on the course this afternoon in forecast early summer weather, hope golf is a part of your day too! 28 ejgaudette, William P, sirchunksalot and 15 others 11 7 Quote Derek Verified Hack, ~21 handicap Golf for exercise and peace of mind.

Popular Post ejgaudette Posted May 1 Popular Post Share Posted May 1 Good morning all! @rkj427 congrats on the retirement and hope there are many adventures to come. Was a drizzly day yesterday, and the next couple days do look a bit cloudy and not overly warm. Though it is keeping the bugs at bay which is nice. Kids have a concert today to wrap up their music class which should be fun. Not much else going on today, hopefully get outside for a bit and keep the ball rolling toward the weekend.

Popular Post IndyBonzo Posted May 1 Popular Post Share Posted May 1 (edited) Good morning, Spies! @sirchunksalot again, I am sorry about the car stuff, but am pleased to hear it's not too terribly bad. Finally, some golf is in my life! It made the rainy drive in to work more bearable. It's a crazy morning ahead, but this afternoon I am playing a tune up round with my best golf bud. And? This beautiful baby will be in the bag: I am a bit excited. (More glamour shots in the CHA thread if you are so inclined.) I am completely down the rabbit hole of shortening wood shafts. I dropped one driver shaft to 44.5", and put a Brnr Mini in the bag to replace my 3W too, and both are improving my accuracy significantly while preserving distance. Can we talk about the stock shaft in the Brnr? What sort of magic have TaylorMade put in that thing? It's perfect in that club. I tried to better it; no dice yet. I hope you all have amazing days!

I got some nice sun yesterday at the track and field day. I forgot how tired a few hours in the sun can make you feel. Today, I don't have much going on besides a normal day of work.

Popular Post Dead Solid Bogey Posted May 1 Popular Post Share Posted May 1 (edited) Wednesday, the discord day of the week is upon us my friends, use it’s confusion to your benefit. @rkj427 may your retirement be long and enjoyable. Yesterday, the blood letting was both literal and financial in the realm of the “ Dark Princess “…. After getting home from having blood drawn for updated testing; the “ Female of Fairytale Finance “ finally got around to dropping the money number for the last Special Couple Day ( 3 days ) cost. Because of severe golf withdrawal instead of seeing the hard numbers, my head went to directly figuring and almost exploding with the fact that… “ HEY NOW “ that is the cost of a fully customized L.A.B. Putter, TPT driver and other shafts with fitting, and full priced Ghost Bag with needed accessories. I conveniently left out the “ fun “ concert part when I calmly informed the “ Super Spending She “ that the cost seemed a tad high to learn about and then purchase repurposed jewelry; as well as learning about vegan shoes and purchasing multiple kinds of shoes including vegan. Finished the conversation by announcing that WHEN and IF my golf exile is removed to expect a major uptick in golf expenses. The “ Hamstringing Highness “ replied with the dreaded…. “ We’ll see “ New month starts today and I am back on the clock for “ Those People “ .. Zoom call this morning. May you all make this a “ Winning Wednesday “ in any an all endeavors.

We are halfway to the weekend folks!!! I came across a couple funnies for ya: and this one I found to be more interesting than funny: a friend of ours made herself a tee shirt with this meme or picture…whatever you want to call it. I don’t have anymore funnies right now so I’ll leave you with this… May your drives be straight and long, your approach be clean and strong, your chips be accurate and true, and your putts not make you blue.

Yesterday was a roller coaster type of day for me, as it was officially my last day at work. Wanted to make sure that all I needed or wanted to do to ensure that there was a pathway to success for those left in charge was present, but also realizing that it would be the last day to see everyone I interacted or worked with on a regular, daily basis. Biggest challenge for me now will be getting my body clock more aligned with not waking up at 4:00AM with no alarm, and on a later schedule. They had a luncheon for me on Monday, and that was a great gesture, as it showed that they cared and I mattered, as that is not a usual thing they do. Had some artwork given to me, a caricature picture by the company, and then a Corvette photo from 4 friends who do more work with their hands than use a computer. Weather here is supposed to be gorgeous for the next couple days, so I may find range time later today, and try to get a round in before we get more rain on Friday. Weekend for me looking like another charitable day for the Leader Dogs on Saturday, and possibly a round in on Sunday again. Hope that your day is the best it can be, and that something fun and enjoyable is in your plans. Congrats on your first official day of retirement! I am sure you will adapt quickly and safely to the dark side of sleeping in, taking your time to around to it, and finding ways to excuse yourself to go get a round in! Enjoy immensely!

Popular Post fixyurdivot Posted May 1 Popular Post Share Posted May 1 (edited) Top of the pot and Happy Hump Day Spies . Well, it's "Horserace Day" today, a 0700 shotgun start at Granite Falls South and the finale of Men's Winter/Spring league play. I've never played in one of these formats and, by all accounts, it should be a hoot. Foursomes/Teams consist of an A,B, C,& D player with the 18 holes a two best net. The top 12 teams get into the "horserace" which is an elimination format starting at hole 15. I'm the A player for our team and I don't know any of the other guys... at least by name. Before the horserace starts, we can bet on teams for the win (no idea how they make all this work ). One of the senior guys in my Monday group said, "just drink lots of beer"... . Have a great day!

A little on the tired side this morning as the 3yr old decided to climb into our bed at 11:30/12 and kick me all night. haha It won't last long though so I try to just remember that. Coffee is being made and doing a little work this morning while the house is quiet. Planning on getting a round in this afternoon if the weather cooperates. @rkj427 congrats on the first day of freedom! Don't worry, the 4am no alarm still happens for me 4 years after leaving the "clock". I have learned to utilize that time for coffee, stretching and MGS. Hope everyone has a great day! I woke up to a "beeping" sounds at 230 am, waddled downstairs to see a battery operated alarm clock going off, I am thinking "really!!" shut it off, took the battery out and left it where my wife couldn't miss it.. Now I am tired and angry and have a 740 tee time, should be a good day lol...

Jim Shaw Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 1 hour ago, Dead Solid Bogey said: Wednesday, the discord day of the week is upon us my friends, use it’s confusion to your benefit. @rkj427 may your retirement be long and enjoyable. Yesterday, the blood letting was both literal and financial in the realm of the “ Dark Princess “…. After getting home from having blood drawn for updated testing; the “ Female of Fairytale Finance “ finally got around to dropping the money number for the last Special Couple Day ( 3 days ) cost. Because of severe golf withdrawal instead of seeing the hard numbers, my head went to directly figuring and almost exploding with the fact that… “ HEY NOW “ that is the cost of a fully customized L.A.B. Putter, TPT driver and other shafts with fitting, and full priced Ghost Bag with needed accessories. I conveniently left out the “ fun “ concert part when I calmly informed the “ Super Spending She “ that the cost seemed a tad high to learn about and then purchase repurposed jewelry; as well as learning about vegan shoes and purchasing multiple kinds of shoes including vegan. Finished the conversation by announcing that WHEN and IF my golf exile is removed to expect a major uptick in golf expenses. The “ Hamstringing Highness “ replied with the dreaded…. “ We’ll see “ New month starts today and I am back on the clock for “ Those People “ .. Zoom call this morning. May you all make this a “ Winning Wednesday “ in any an all endeavors. love the descriptions, I am going to use a couple of those...
