... One of the nice things about Discount Tires is they pretty much take care of you for life. I have bought all my replacement tires from DT so when I buy a new car, or anyone in my family buys a new car, they will rotate the tires and repair any flats for free. 

ALWAYS and MEAN always get the road hazard warranty. It has saved me more than a few times. I have been buying my tires from them since i was 18, I'm in my low 50's now. Twice I have came out of a hunting or camping trip with 2 tires that needed replaced. One time was one rock 2 tires. Luckily I was quick enough to plug one, not so lucky with the other. I carry the tool and plugs and always have them in my drivers door.

It's still morning for me in Oregon. 

My surgery went good and I am surprisingly feeling better than I thought I would. I'm 24 hours post op, and pretty sure I am feeling good due to my wife keeping me on schedule with meds. That all said, I no longer have the tingling going down my legs which is a huge plus. 

Told my wife to hide my clubs as I don't want the temptation to pick one up. I have a putting green in the back yard, so that is going to be a tough one not grab a putter. 

Someone posted about getting side tracked with posts, articles, reviews, etc.etc. I've done the same thing and sure I will for the next month.  

Have a great day all.

... I should have mentioned that, so thanks for adding it. The road hazard warranty is why they repair and rotate tires that came on my car. I had a Michelin tire that came with my G80, split from a sharp object and they gave me 80% credit for the life left in the tire. A very pleasant surprise since I didn't buy it from them.

Fantastic news. Smart move to have your wife hide the clubs! LOL Prayers for a full and speedy recovery!

First day I feel normal again after getting COVID!  This new strain is a bad one..... take care fellow spies.  Sorry I was quiet for 2 weeks but I was down for the count.

Glad to hear the surgery was successful and you are recovering well. Keep that temptation at bay until the Dr releases you to pick up a club or putter. Don't want to undo the work that has been done.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. My wife and I were exposed on Monday. My wife's friend competed in a half Ironman in Canada over the weekend. She visited us on Monday. Was feeling under the weather and tested positive yesterday. No symptoms yet.

Can't go wrong with "dirty" mashed potatoes maybe add a bit of roasted garlic.

Good Friday morning everyone!

It's the last day of work for me before summer shutdown and I'm looking forward to getting it over. I always describe it as getting burnout the closer it gets and then we have some time off to come back refreshed. My job is all basically wash, rinse, and repeat so I'm looking forward to some time off to spend with the wife and play some golf. 

We had a great community call with Vice golf yesterday evening and I would encourage anyone who missed out to check it out once it gets posted to the forum. These guys have a passion for their product and you could tell by the way they were talking about it. 

I hope you all have a great day!

Good morning and happy Friday everybody. One of my coworkers has the day off today so I get to go in an hour early to cover his shift which means that I will also get off work at 1:30 in the afternoon. If only the weather will cooperate today that could mean a round of golf. We shall see.

Have a great day everyone.

Good morning Spies on a TGIF morning here in the Motor City area.

Up early, as I have a full day of working outdoors planned today, due to some heavy rain in the forecast for late tonight and tomorrow.

@sirchunksalot Jason, enjoy your week off, relax and enjoy the time with your wife and on the course. Always good to get a break from our normal, working life routines. 

@Rob Person nice review on the Stix clubs. 

No golf for me until next week, try to miss the weekend rate increases, and slow play on the courses if possible these days.

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

[Rob Person]

Happy birthday @Placasse61 !

 

Good morning spies on this on duty weekend!  Hope everyone can enjoy some time off and be productive and have fun too! Will probably start my first putter build tonight,  hoping to have it done through the weekend,  and finishing monday!

Has anyone heard from @Dead Solid Bogey ????

[CSiders12]

Good morning and happy Friday! A rainy morning here in eastern Iowa, but that isn't stopping me from getting out to the course. I've actually got a really busy day today, so I'm up and at em early. I need to take the round serious today as I have a money match tomorrow morning. If I crisper up a couple of parts of my game, I should walk out tomorrow a few dollars richer.

I hope you all have a fantastic Friday!

[ILMgolfnut]

Good morning Spies! Up early-ish because I have to get to bed early tonight to make a 6 am flight to Baltimore (more Saturday work). Hoping to get in a range session around a trip to the orthopedist to get another shot in my shoulder; don't need that acting up in Scotland.

Kinda reminds me of when I was a runner and I found myself engrossed in an online forum of runners who had run the Boston Marathon or were hoping to do so. For a while they banned use of the word Boston. Any reference to the capital of Massachusetts became Barcelona. I may have to find a code word for the northern half of Britain. Suggestions?

Good morning MGSpies from a sunny cool to start gorgeous day for a golf tournament here in WNY currently sitting in the parking lot at Diamond Hawk GC with my coffee listening to Ryan Farish's Road To You on Pandora watching the presentation for the course in progress.  Arrived early to provide any assistance for last minute things but probably because I'm here there's nothing outstanding at this point.  Best part of yesterday was a simple NYS inspection for the prime mover and only a comment about something to keep an eye on for planning ahead maintenance wise.  Golf today and tomorrow, hope golf is a part of your day

Happy Friday everyone!

SWMBO had a great day yesterday for her birthday.

After this week of work, looking forward to a couple days rest for the weekend.

Hope everyone has a great day!

[ejgaudette]

Good morning all!

Glad it's Friday and looking forward to the weekend ahead. Kids are going strawberry picking which should be fun for them. I will meet up with them later and then my wife and I are doing some yoga this evening.

Tee time bright and early tomorrow before a likely family bike ride.

Best of all woke up this morning to a chill in the air with temps around 50 which I love. After the early season heat wave a couple weeks ago this is such a nice change.

Have a great weekend and Friday everyone!

A good morning to all on a coolish Friday morning. Enjoying my espresso before I go and help my step daughter with her move. Maybe I’ll have another coffee first. Have a great weekend. 

[Josh Parker]

Good Friday morning!

Busy day getting things prepped and ready for the new venture. About to head to the course to get some practice in.

@sirchunksalot you can get thru the final day!  Its already halfway done for you isn't it?  

@Rob Person great job on the review. 

@Placasse61 happy Birthday 

For the rest, have a great day!  

[Triple_Putt]

Morning all! Going to be a beautiful day that’s for sure! Have the coffee going and reading along on here. Have to run some errands before work, but otherwise not much going on. Going to take my time with the day and try to enjoy it. Have a great day everyone!

[ZJeb67]

Happy Friday all!

it was the best of league, it was the worst of league

Pured my 6 iron on both par 3s. 
Also lost a season high 3 balls

Good Friday morning, fellow Spies!  I had an enjoyable day playing at Bear Creek Golf Course yesterday.  Bear Creek has lush zsoyia fairways, bent-grass greens, and scenic views of the Ozark hills.  I hope everyone has a great weekend.

It's almost to the halfway point, I got through the worst part and that was getting out of bed.

TGIF friends!!

Those of you stuck in an office .. sorry .. those of you WFH .. also sorry .. but hang in there, it's only a few hours until Happy Hour!!

I may take it relatively easy today, although that plan usually doesn't always come through .. maybe just a little weeding in back where it's really needed.

Just gotta be smart and cover up - part of that is poison ivy and I'm sensitive to it... Almost dosed myself the beginning of the week trimming some overgrown stuff .. then started pulling vines growing under the fence into my yard - and I was wearing shorts and did get two very small spots, one on each leg, which are so far contained. 

Anyway......

Hope you have a great day and a better happy hour!!! 

[MattWillGolf]

Good morning Spies,

Uppa with a Cuppa. Happy Friday. It's a beautiful morning in CNY. Sunny and in the 50s which is a nice change. I'm sorry I missed the Vice Community Call yesterday. But with the DF3 Test drawing to a conclusion I wanted to get another putter test session on the books to expand the data pool. I have a morning run on tap, a lawn to mow and church golf league tonight. I bought tickets to the air show in Binghamton, NY for July 7th. The Blue Angels will be showing. I last saw them on Lake Washington many years ago. I will break out the camera and hope for better skies this time. 

@Rob Person well done on the Stix review. 

@Placasse61 happy birthday. I hope golf can be included today whether it be on the course or in the form of gifts.

Wishing all a wonderful day!

[Erin B]

TGIF! Not much going on today. I’m taking the day off from golf as a rest day before the weekend. I’m playing the VGA this weekend and have two rounds at Collindale in Fort Collins CO. https://www.fcgov.com/collindale/ Sunday is our state championship. I’m not expecting to win, I just want a good showing. I’m thinking about not competing after this season because I’ve found I enjoy golf more playing casually. Not a bad thing if you ask me. I’ll still play in scrambles and the club championships but really want to just enjoy golfing. I’m probably gonna stay on the VGA but only for the camaraderie. Anyway, hope you all have a great day and here’s to the weekend!
