The Good Morning Thread

[ParFore74x]

Good morning spies and happy Tuesday. Sunshine and low 90s on tap today so I may try to get another round in after work. Trying to stay ahead of the possibility of storms tomorrow and the high 90s temps of Thursday and Friday.

Hope everyone has an amazing day! ️

GM & Happy Tuesday!!  Getting ready for a 7:02 Tee Time @ course next door.  It’s getting hot & humid already with rain last night so Cart Path Only coming up again.  
Hope everyone has a great day

Good morning all! Thanks for the recs in SF, we will try to hit as many as we can since we have a few days before the Taylor Swift concert I bought my wife tickets to. I got excited yesterday because I realized when we get back and move it’ll be august and I’ll need to start prepping for our member-member two man tournament later in the month and once that’s gone it’ll be football time in Oklahoma!

Good morning Spies!

Including some pictures from my morning run.

Good Morning All,

Make today, the day you get incrementally better at an aspect of your game and remember to be kind.

Have a great Tuesday!

[CSiders12]

Good morning all! It's going to be a hot one today. Getting out to mow the lawn this morning to try and beat the heat. After that, grad school it is. The next few days are supposed to be ridiculously hot, so all activities are going to be done in the morning. 

I hope y'all stay safe in the high heat this week. Stay hydrated! 

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Early good morning to all my fellow spies on this hazy, smoke filled Tuesday in Southwest Wisconsin. Air Quality Index is in the 140s this morning but hopefully will improve by this afternoon/evening for golf league. Already at it this morning at work with more employee HRA screenings and doing those until 11, so won't get much opportunity to get on here until after that. Quick break in the action allowed me to hop on quick. Hope everyone has a great day!

Morning Spies! Looks like it's going to be hot and steamy in the Twin Cities today. 90% humidity right now with highs in the low 90s. Last day of vacation so getting a round in at 10am. Hopefully the humidity drops off a bit.

My son is as tall as I am, 6' maybe little more or less.  True the doors require us to pull each foot back to get it inside but once inside there is plenty of leg room and pedals are where they should be.

MG for Morris Garage started in 1930 with the classic doghouse "bonnet" for the engine, separate headlights on a frame and open wheels with flowing fenders.  

Austin-Healey was a competitor as a joint venture between Austin and BMC which later built the Jaguar.

We have size 8 1/2 and 10 feet, no problem with the pedals.

These are all the smallest sports cars made, perfect size for 2 seats, a motor under the bonnet, 4 tires (tyres) and a boot just large enough for a picnic basket and blanket.  Perfect for touring the English countryside.

That sounds like something is going to suffer, likely driver and vehicle.

The MG looks good on him!

Roll up windows? Must be a newer midget. My FJ rain gear had a dual purpose - on the golf course and driving my 57 MGA in the rain.

Good Morning Spies 

It's extremely foggy this morning here.  Going to head to the range and hit a few.  Ladies Invitational at Ridgemont (Rochester NY) Wednesday and Thursday with my daughter.  Our course is closed yesterday and today for the ProAm there - 36 4-man teams. (pool, due to no parking, is closed also)  the Pros come from all across the states and Canada.

Go for it and play 18!  Life is too short

Good Morning everyone!  Haven't played much lately; still a little sore from yard work.  But temps are down today as the wind came through yesterday; only getting to 90º and still a little breezy.  Booked a tee time at noon; earliest available as such short notice, and I need to get out and walk.

Hope y'all can do the same!! 

[Preeway]

Morning everyone. Just sipping on coffee and easing my way into the morning. No golf today, just doing some light prep work to get ready for the start of the school year in a few weeks. Summer always seems to go by so quickly

Good morning all, 

1st. day of the provincial men's senior tournament in Williams Lake. Tee off at 930 am.

Yesterday was a good day, practice round then dinner for all the competitors. The energy before the 1st day is always really really positive, every golfer feels like, either they are ready (like peaking at the right time) or if we go in to the tournament not at our best, we feel maybe lightning will strike and we will find our game for 3 days.

Dinner was plated roast beef or chicken and was really good and the turn out was good, we did have one incident that isn't normal, one of the golfers at our table is a diabetic and went into shock, pretty scary for everyone and him I would bet, luckily there were a couple of nurses in the group that helped him until the ambulance came.

Anyway have a great day everyone and I will update as the tournament moves along.

Good morning, Spies!

Not much to report - just a typical work day.  But golf tomorrow and Friday.

There is a ton going on here in the forum!

Hope your Tuesdays are superb.

Good Tuesday Morning Spies! 

Beautiful Central Florida Morning & hot as usual.  Nice walking 18 holes this morning, a bit warmish LOL.  Home drinking nice espresso & ready to get to work! Nice way to start the day. 

Have a Great Day Everyone!  Hit'em straight!

The rain thing has brought a learning experience for the newly mobile little people down the street. Much to their amazement and curiosity; some of the multitude of differently colored beige, tan, and brown foliage in the neighborhood is turning a tad green. This might be the first time outside of a crayon that these little people have seen green. Have the Tuesday Night Drink and Drive  Scramble  this evening. Until then, just chilling and trying to stay out of the line of fire of the  wife person.

Well the weather never improved sufficiently yesterday to tempt me out. However, shirtsleeve weather today. Shot 78, +5, bogeyed 7, 8 and 9 and doubled 15. Course rating is 73.6 so to my playing handicap, near enough. Just finished and the heavens opened! Of course . Forecast is OK ish for tomorrow morning so a practice session and will take some video for my coach to have a laugh sorry a look at.

Good morning everyone and Happy Hump Day! It's a nice morning to be enjoying my coffee in the car while catching up on the happenings of the forum.

I got home yesterday and got my yard work done before a pop-up shower. The grass was high and I didn't want it getting any more moisture to clog up the mower.

I hope all of you have a good day!

Good morning Spies on this Wednesday, better to stay indoors day here in Michigan. Another warm, humid and stormy day with Air Quality Alerts already in effect.

At work, and indoors so I am at least out of harms way related to those concerns.

Hope your Wednesday is the best it can be, and that some golf activity is also part of your day.

Morn all!

Yesterday, took a trip to town for a leisure stroll and shopping. Treated ourselves to a quiet courtyard where the restaurant served fish and chips for lunch. We’ll have to try them for a special occasion dinner sometime.

Got up very early to played 18 holes this morning, a dry, beautiful day.

Have a good one!

[Rickp]

GM & Happy Wednesday!!  Coffee, light breakfast and out the door for an 8:00am Tee Time.  Hope for a better outcome today, yesterday wasn’t pretty and lost 2 balls, both in the water.  
Got caught in a big thunderstorm rain yesterday around noon and SWMBO and I got a bit soaked in the cart.  Put the sides down but not quick enough.  
Everyone have a great day!!

[cksurfdude]

A very good morning to you!

Hanging with poochie in the backyard, watching him do his version of a dewsweeper by rolling around in the wet grass... 

Hope your day starts out as fun as his!

Good morning MGSpies from a humid warm WNY on this Wednesday of summer  hot coffee just right for smelling, sipping will be in a little while with computer systems going online for the zero commute workday.  Golf for me is Forum today with heading to the Western NY National Cemetery before dinner with fellow Veterans to do our rotation with servicing the flags along the driveways, taking down those that will need repairing replacing them with repaired ones  next tee time is tomorrow and will again interfere with community call, hope golf is a part of your day
