The Good Morning Thread

[Dead Solid Bogey]

Well, good morning my spies on a Tuesday that is trying to be like a leftover Monday.  
    Feel like her highness’s medical “ expert “  poked, prodded, jabbed, bled, and beat me like a rented mule during the exam yesterday. His conclusion was that I need more tests. 
     Packing to leave for my next and seemingly never ending adventure into the “ Work World “.  Her majesty is preparing to head out to engage in some kind of activities that the leader of the realm does in person. She way, way to cheerfully informed me as she was going out the door, not to worry about my up coming medical tests. That she will stoically go the extra mile for me while I live and when I die.

Hope everyone has golf in their day. Whatever this Tuesday may bring your way… Read the fine print!!!

Good morning, Spies!

Shoulder seems to be back in order after some nerve issues over the weekend. Spornia net is getting here 2 full days early! So it's time to get garage swinging. It's a beautiful day! Except for the weather.

Good morning All, 

In what seems to be a developing theme this week, this morning was a jumble and I left a perfectly good cup of coffee on the counter. On a brighter note, I am booked for my irons only round on Thursday. And it looks like I may get out Saturday as well, before testing wraps up.

 

Have a great Tuesday!

A cool Fall morning.  Headed out for my last round on my home course.

Playing with my match play team mate, so a few shots may be inserted into our coffees to keep warm.

Should be a fun round!

I've done that before, fortunately I leave early enough to turn back around. I hope you day gets better.

Good morning Spies!

Not much golf-related going on in my world today, except that I shipped out 4 clubs today to eBay buyers as part of the Great Pre-Simulator Build Sell-Off.  It's slow-going, but will be worthwhile when complete (one hopes).

I hope you all have Super Tuesdays.  Fairways and greens!

[Kenny B]

Good Morning everyone!!  Hope y'all have a Top-Shelf Tuesday!  Up early, coffee down, exercises complete, and wife out the door for a golf date with lady friends.  Lawn mowed yesterday after the rain you guys call a drizzle, and now I'm turning my focus to weeds along the fence with my neighbors.  If some of my weed killing extends beyond the fence... so be it!  

Thinking about walking 9 holes at noon. Oh wait!  It just popped into my head...

...Something calls to me
The trees are drawing me near
I've got to find out why
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh...

Is this impending doom?

Good Tuesday Morning Spies! 

Nice Central Florida morning - 75 degrees at 7am tee off. Ended up being a good warm 18 hole walk.  Finally home, nice hot cup of coffee, listening to @Kenny B Moody Blues video! Great song Kenny! 

Have a Great Day Everyone! Hit'em Straight! 

[BallsLeon]

Good morning spies!

Busy work week marches on, have a skeleton crew at work this week so I’m picking up the slack and trying to put out fires where I can .

Booked 9 holes for tomorrow, and 18 for Saturday morning. Have a lesson after work and hoping to focus on my 6 iron today. 

Hope you all have an awesome day!

Top of the pot spies .  Just hanging around while the house gets painted today.  Yesterday, they pressure washed and masked... it's downright ugly looking out through visqueee .  While being bored, I started binging on fly fishing videos featuring southwest destinations.  Found some great info and who'd-a-thunk just north of Taos NM lies a gem!  Only about 6 hours from here and there are several great golf courses in the area... sounds like a multi-venue road trip to me .  Have a good day all.

Good morning spies!

Feeling essentially back to normal after my long weekend. Happy to report that my clubs were picked up from the airport yesterday with minimal damage (travel bag has a rip but nothing major).

Was hoping for a range session tonight but thunderstorms in the area might delay that until later in the week. Looks like I'll stick to slo-mo practice swings in the home office.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good Day, Spies!

Good morning spies.

Spent last night at the med center doing a sleep study; being tested for mild sleep apnea.  Gee, I can’t imagine why I might have had a hard time sleeping doc…

Good grief, you look really amused .  I wouldn't be able to sleep, in that environment, without all the clap-trap. What's the red wire for?

Good morning spies and happy Hump Day!

I had a pretty good day yesterday with the exception of getting my rear kicked at work. We ran like the proverbial scalded dog and our line has been poorly set up for that, but we survived. 

I had a fun evening with my wife, but found anything major but just enjoying each other's company. We ordered her a new computer for her to be able to do the thing she loves which is art. Now she's going to be like the rest of us when we're waiting for new equipment to arrive. I expect to see her standing by the door waiting for the delivery person when I get home, even though the ETA is later next week.

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Playing a warm up round for tomorrow... turned into an irons only round.

On hole 11 and it's not much better...

I would lose so many balls in that weather. I hope the rest of the round goes good for you and have fun out there!

Good morning Spies on a cloudy and damp Hump Day here. Made a lot of headway playing catch-up at work, although it meant a really long day and evening yesterday. Hoping to have a more normal work day today, and having time to install the grips I ordered this evening.

Hope that your day is the best it possibly can be, and if golf is in your plans, your enjoyment of the game and outdoors is fulfilling.

[CSiders12]

Good morning all! The halfway point of the week is here and I'm ready to get up and moving! Practice this morning and then teaching. Hoping to make today a great one!

I hope you all have a wicked Wednesday!

Good morning MGSpies on this "trying not to wish it is Friday" Wednesday in WNY  coffee is too hot to sip, computers going online to navigate the network for the next few hours before a semiannual dental checkup thankfully interrupts the day before this afternoon's tee time (amazing how it gets planned that way   Hope golf is a part of your day  and Jaimie @GolfSpy_APH that looks like a golf adventure not for a matchplay round!

In person would have been great for matchplay. 

Ended up shooting 43 on the front and 40 on the back so not great, but not terrible.

Good morning everyone. Hoping today goes better than yesterday. Girls got their butt kicked by a team that hadn’t won a game all season. I didn’t think it would happen but we haven’t had a really good practice in a while. Had to kick one of the girls off the team after the game for conduct so it’s going to make for a tough practice tonight. We have three practices before our next game against the hardest team in our district so I’m going to have to figure out something or our season could implode in our last week. After the start we had I really expected a better season so far. Time to dig deep tonight and make one last push. Pretty sure it’s going to be a bourbon kind of night when I get home. Hope everyone has a great day ahead!

Good morning all and happy Wednesday! Today is my Friday as we are off the next two days to celebrate our wedding anniversary for a long weekend. Today marks 9 years of marriage to a woman who is worlds out of my league still to this day. We are taking our boys up to the Twin Cities to go to the MOA and are staying at a Great Wolf Lodge waterpark. Should be an awesome little weekend. Hoping to get my match play round in Saturday late afternoon when we get back, but if not I know that my team captain @GolfSpy_APH has a substitute set so that we still have a score in the event I cannot get my round in this week. 

Hope everyone has a great day!

[Preeway]

Congrats on the anniversary!!!

[Josh Parker]

Good morning all!  Actually slept good and got an extra hour or so that I normally don't get. Feeling fresh and ready to take my lesson this morning. 

 

[GolfSpy_BEN]

Good morning All, 

Things are looking up. Doesn’t feel like my nose is a leaky faucet this morning and I didn’t leave the coffee behind. It truly is the little things.

Have a great Wednesday!

Sleep interrupted this morning(4:30 AM) with a sneezing fit followed by a leaky faucet.  Called Gold3n Bear and cancelled for 8:00 tee time. It’s now 7:30 and my nose has calmed down a bit. Checked the weather and looks like light rain today. Guess my nose is pretty smart. So I’ll have Friday to play one more time this Hilton Head trip. BTW, next year (24) I’ll have two weeks back to back at HHI.

Good morning spies!

Had a wonderful surprise yesterday, my Sub70 putter arrived unannounced!

Will be posting unboxing pictures and some very early first impressions later this afternoon in the testing thread. Also, putting it into action tonight with 9 holes after work. 

And with Ryder cup pretty much here, I’m on cloud 9 right now. Hope you all have an awesome day!

[skraeling]

I have kicked my fever, but man the drainage and cough have been a mfer the past two days.  Woke up at 3am today partly due to storms and partly me just hacking my ass off.  Couldnt really fall back asleep.

Oh well.  Long as I can kick my hack by my sunday scramble ill manage.  

 

 

Also since I was home sick I wanted to see just what my tee height looked like from the side.  Its not something I really ever paid a ton of attention to so was interesting to get a wild hair up my ass and actually look at it.  Welp the notch gives me dead even 50% of the ball, always looks so much lower looking down at it.
