Oh shoot, happy belated birthday @GolfSpy_SAM!  You know you can celebrate for a week, right?  Millennial rules.

A week my wife sometimes like to do a birthday month, so @GolfSpy_SAM has plenty of time to celebrate

Good morning everyone, Wednesdays have the most standard meetings so not looking forward to that at all, but after today we are that much closer to the weekend and school vacation for our kids. Working on my Edel intro and hope to have that up in the next couple days. Trying to come up with some good testing parameters to get everything lines up. The data nerd in me always gets a bit out over my skis on this and wanting to do too much, so a reminder to myself that less can be more.

Have to learn to play "old fart golf".  That's where you land the ball 10-20 yards short of the green and let it roll on.  When I started playing golf, there were some old farts that were very deadly playing that way because they played that way all the time.

Umm, that’s the SOP in FL

Good morning gents, usually I love Wednesdays but this week not so much. Getting a full mouth extraction on Friday and I'm not looking forward to it lol. Not to mention that cancels any chance of hitting the links this weekend. Wish me luck and ya'll have a wonderful week!

GM, after coffee heading out for a 7:44 Tee Time.  It’s 50* & windy so not a pleasant morning may do 9 instead of 18, whatever the Boyz decide is OK with me.  
Had a small “ratcheting sound from bottom of the cart.  Brought it to cart garage and looks like a brake issue that they fixed.  EV carts are so quiet every little noise sounds terrible.

Good morning on a cold WNY Wednesday that is going to stay this way through the 3:40 tee time this afternoon  coffee is hot and cutting through the chill as the computers are booting up  and just so you know I have that tee time with the full support of SWMBO and today is her day - I know, I guess it means I have to keep her.  Hope golf is a part of your day

Good morning Spies! Able to get the first tee time at the local muni - crossing  fingers I can speed through 18 before work!

Lets get at it!

Dew sweeper rounds are some of my favorites!

Good morning fellow spies! Massive snow melt off yesterday had me in a fantastic mood to end the day. Rain forecasted for today and tomorrow with highs getting back toward 60 should clear everything off and I am hopeful to be back on the course next week once everything dries up. Highs will only be in the 50s throughout next week but we can make it work! Hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning, Spies!

Good luck @cojobro77 this Friday.  Yikes!  Hope it goes well.

No golf for me today, sadly.  (Really this time.)  All suited up.  Serving breakfast to staff this morning a week ahead of Admin Professionals' Day.  It's an annual tradition, and a lot of fun.  Then . . . lots of work to do.

Wishing you all great Wednesdays.

That is real Dew Kicking!  I hope this doesn't cause your phone notification in your backswing @CFreddie  as I would never do such a thing intentionally  keep it on the short grass!

Morning spies!

16 hr work day yesterday so I gave myself permission to buy a Dunkin joe (with a couple extra espressos).

Hitting humpday means I can really start the countdown to a fun round ahead on Saturday.

Hope everyone has a great morning

Man, this "week for my wife" is really digging into my game.... It's her birthday week, and while she deserves to be spoiled and have the attention, it's certainly cut into my game time... Off to the Jumbo Shrimp (AAA Marlins) baseball game today, but at least it includes a , chips, and a ....

Top o' the morning, MGS.

Discussion in the random thread about traveling got me thinking I've only played in NJ and FL. That means 48 to go, so I have a lot of "work" to do.

Today I take the plunge across the NJ/PA border, about 65 miles west, to Melrose Country Club north of Philadelphia.

Grew up down the street from that course, they've put a lot of money in the place to try and bring it back. Let me know how you shoot.

[Merlin1313]

SO- just checkin- is it NOW ok to tag @GolfSpy_SAM?   Hope you had a great B-Day!!!!!

[DonnieGolfs]

Played in 36 degree weather this year in March. Played a few snow rounds so colder just not sure how cold it was. Club up a good bit, layer up and hope it isn't too windy.

Walking is usually the better(only) option too keeps you warm walking, no wind in your face from a missing windshield on a cart. 

[Merlin1313]

GM Y'ALL!!!!! Happy day... I'd love to be playin the dew sweeper round- that looks awesome..... Hope everyone has a great day nothing but F&Gs for the ones lucky enough to be going out and smooth sailin' for us working stiffs- yep- we got this and the world will be a better place for it (yep- it's my story and I can tell it ANY way I want to)

Feeling bad for you Northerners. We have been in shorts and tee shirts for a month now. I already have the official golf tan going on. Opened up the pool from winter last week, put the solar cover on, and the water temp is already mid 70's.  The local pool company is coming tomorrow to go over the system and show us the ins and outs. First time having a built-in pool.   

Hoping warmer weather finds your way soon.

Feels like a two-hump day, doesn't it?

Where is the jealous button or the punch in the arm button when you need one. Rained out all week so far and that only means double headers coming up. That leads to less time on the course. I may need to re work my may schedule. I already told my wife May is golf month. 

[tdroma98]

Good Morning! Beautiful 58 degrees this morning at 7am, went for a nice 5 mile walk.  Taking time off this week from playing & range and doing some walking.  Have a Great Day Everyone! 

[Kenny B]

Good Morning everyone!  Finished my 2nd cup of coffee and ready to begin my exercises.  After battling that course yesterday in the wind, I'm taking the day off; maybe head to our course for some short game work.

My wife will be leaving soon to help get up the Ladies Par 3 tournament this morning.  All 18 holes will be set up as par 3's, but that doesn't mean they ARE par 3's.  For example, our par 3 #8 hole is being played from the tips... 250y.  

[MattWillGolf]

Morning Spies, Second cup is goin down. I have 9 days until retirement and my final projects are going a bit sideways.  In one of them, the contractor's quality of work in room prep was among the worst I've seen in my 35 years in the medical imaging industry. In the other, a hardware packet need for installation was lost. oh well. This combined with the weather is putting a crimp in my golf. 

Have a great day Spies! Hope you can get out and hit'em 

[JFish350]

Good Morning Folks. 

That's all

Of course it's golf month... it's also a birthday month!!  I'm celebrating for a week in Bend/Redmond/Sisters area
