I have a good layer program going on as well, similar to you I have some long sleeve (lets call them undershirts) then a golf shirt (layer 2) then a zip up fleece (layer 3) always a neck warmer (that is the go to) and then a Bruins hat (which makes most of my playing partners mad) if it is really cold I put on a shell (layer 4) and a touque instead of a hat. I have hand warmers too but I put them in my pocket. Fleece lined pants if my legs get cold. 

Uh oh, we should go play. You can wears your Bruins hat and I’ll wear my Blues Stanley Cup hat. Hahaha

LOL, make your playing partners mad with Bruins hat. 

 

He's Canadian; they hate American hockey teams.  From B.C. he should be sporting a Canucks hat.

Morning all. 

Last week I joked about the indoor driving range building tilting left. Yesterday, just as I ended my practice a message came popped up briefly the Trackman is out of alignment. So I was right! The building is shifting … must be the snow on the roof is not evenly distributed.

Also, I learned something about myself yesterday. I have no problem taking multiple mulligans on a golf sim course. I have no dignity.

Good morning everyone! 

It's community call day and I might be just a hair later jumping on, I have to stop at the store and for gas after work. 

It's another cold morning here at 15° and I'm wishing I was still in a warm bed. But, the coffee is warm and hopefully motivating to get me through work. 

I hope you all have a great day!

[ParFore74x]

Good morning and happy Thursday spies! Starting off the day at 15° but it looks like it will drop throughout the day and back into the negatives tonight. Chance for a little more snow tonight as well.

 Actually had a solid sleep last night so that was exciting. Hopefully I’m getting back to normal after 10+ days of not being at 100% health.

Have a great day spies!

[cksurfdude]

..well since I was up and moving earlier than usual to do some bathroom business so figured I might as well drop my MGS buddies a good morning hello...

Good Morning and hello!!

Still winter out there so I guess I'll go back for a little more hibernation 'til it's time to really get up and moving and get to the chiropractor. 

Hope your non-summer day goes well, and hope to see some of you on the community call later!!

Good morning Spies on this Community Call Thursday.

Finally double digits in the morning, but flakes also falling from the skies too this morning.

Hoping to get through the normal work-day without too many issues, and hoping that @Kenny B pops back in here this morning with good news too.

Make your day the best it can be, no matter what may be in your plans, and hope that some golf activity may also be in your plans. 

[GolfSpy_APH]

Well what a morning!

What I thought would be a nice slow and relaxed morning has turned into quite a crazy day. Thankfully I think at least for the moment I am all caught up and ready to get on with the rest of the day. Meant to be posting and doing a bunch here on the forum, but alas it didn't happen. 

Still looking for a few more responses to the driver feedback form and well even though I had mentioned there wasn't going to be a test this week on the call there was! It happened last minute and we got it all together. This one I am really looking forward to and am excited to see what our community has to say!

[Josh Parker]

Good morning!

Chilly morning but will quickly warm up today.  Getting out this morning to play a round and then do some testing with the Mevo+.

Wife has RE appointments this afternoon so I'll be on kid duty but will be able to hop on community call.

Have a great day!

No need to feel bad about that, I think that is an excellent choice of hat.

[JohnSmalls]

Top of the morning fellas!  A nice warm 22* this morning.  Looking forward to warmer air and for the course to dry out.  My clubs are getting antsy.  Hope y'all have a great Thursday!

[ejgaudette]

Good morning everyone!

Had a day full of meetings as expected which was as fun as it sounds. Kids got out for some ice skating which they enjoyed as always, with skiing supposed to up for later today though bit of a cold running through the house so we will see how everyone is feeling. The cold temps has set in as we are not supposed to get above 20 for the next few days with lows in the single digits. Stay warm all.

Have a great Thursday all!

[MGoBlue100]

Clear and 20 over here (think we’re close to each other?). Clubs just back from a loft/lie check and regrip. I don’t have a spot at the house to do that currently. Non-golf vacation next week and then a work trip after. Looks like “No Golf January”. Heavy sigh…

Sounds like we have the same weatherman!  I feel your pain on no golf January.  I'm in month 2, I had a no golf December too 

[Byrnzee]

Good morning all!

Up extra early this morning for our flight to Florida. Excited to be escaping the frigid Chicago weather for a few days. 

Couple of tee times scheduled over the weekend. Excited to see if all of this simulator practice can translate to the course. 

Unfortunately I might miss the community call later with hanging with the in-laws and working remotely in a shared space. Will try to sneak on if I can. 

Hope everyone has a great day!

Morning everyone!  Just wanted to say a quick hello - coffee's made, drunk, more coffee poured, also drunk. I might be a bit jittery right now. It was two big mugs.  Speaking of mugs, I've got a stupid face sometimes when I take pictures, and like to say "look at THIS mug." 

I was speaking with @Getoffmylawn and @Lacassem and they were saying how much they love the action this thread gets and I thought I would test the theory by posting something pretty silly to see how many reactions it gets. 

So, "Morning" clan - do your thing - let's get this to 30+ reactions and I'll be sure to tag them every day until they join our happy-go-lucky crew. 

In all seriousness - happy Hump Day!!!!!!  (you're welcome @GolfSpy_BEN)

Still need 7 more reactions on this one.... come on folks!

Good morning all! Well, it's the third Thursday of the month so that means in addition to my Rotary meeting this morning, I have an ambulance board meeting this morning. Electing new officers is on the agenda at the ambulance so this may be my final day as the board president. It runs in cycles so it's all good no matter what. From a golf perspective, it's looking like indoor ladder putting drill today. Might have to get creative and find a way to work on chipping some time soon. May you all have a fantastic day today!

Good morning from Homosassa. Quiet time for me and absolutely Cheshire cat grin as awake from 1st nite in a month without a bag attached to my leg as the cath was removed yesterday. Tough month of recovery but will keep moving forward. Time to rehab as weather in the 40s not conducive to theses 75yr old bones. Never been on a Sim but son in Mi and friends are in love with the experience. Enthusiasm for the game is evident on every post which puts a smile on this old man's face everyday .PLAY THE GAME.

Good morning MGSpies from snowbound WNY downwind of the Lake Erie "lake effect machine" with another 4-5 inches here at mission central HQ for another who cares what the weather is zero commute on the network doing great things for those who serve those who have served.  coffee helping with focus and warmth, shoveling limited to what Corgis needed to get their business done after breakfast, community call is a siren song today with the daily shoveling of snow as the main attraction for being able to get out and exercised missed with golf courses as far under the snowpack as the backyard.  Hope golf is a part of your day

Good morning everyone. Another cold wake up getting ready for work. Haven’t played a round since Thanksgiving and the withdrawals have set in. January appears to be a lost cause looking at the extended forecast. Becoming hard to convince SWMBO to park outside so I can have the garage for practice when it doesn’t get above 10°. Oh well, at least I have the community call to look forward to. Won’t be able to stay long as coaching duties will pull me away but I’ll be there for the beginning. Hope everyone has a great day!!

[CSiders12]

Good morning spies!! Bad weather once again here in the Midwest. Hoping to get past this weather soon so I can do something besides sit inside. Unfortunately, we have a few more inches of score projected for today. A golf simulator might be calling my name this weekend.

Have a thunderous Thursday!

[Cfhandyman]

Good morning everyone. Slowly coming out of the deep freeze. Just another few days. Enjoying my espresso by the fireplace. For those tempted to play golf in winter, a few subtle differences 

However, what they don’t tell you is the real story, aka reality

Or how to achieve your first hole in one. Have a great Thursday and stay warm and safe.

Good Morning!

Vancouver was an absolute mess yesterday.  Over 30 cm in the end.  The airport was a complete disaster.  

 

[RonnieB]

Good morning my fellow brethren. It is a balmy 21* in the NE burbs of Cincinnati. Traffic was light on the way end with a chance of rear ending some idiot in front of you for going 10 mph below the speed limit. Why? Who knows, hot coffee, an email, text, or still pissed they are enslaved to the man. It is going to be a good day ending with a small snow accumulation overnight. May your coffee be strong, your creditors paid, and your day short!

good morning all, 

community call day is the best day of the week! join us if you are able, as we will be discussing all manner of topics forum related and otherwise, including the latest testing opportunity for all you sticks out there that can play. 

have a grand thursday 

[GolfSpy_KFT]

Good morning all and happy Thursday! Hoping to make the community call this afternoon but my schedule looks relatively full, so not sure I’ll be able to swing it today. One day closer to the weekend and playoff football. Hoping the Pack can keep the magic rolling and upset the 49ers, but it is a tall tall ask. Either way, should be some good football all weekend! 

Hope everyone has a great day today!

[Shapotomous]

Good morning ...  We have climbed to 12* from our low of 9* this morning.  Its still too cold to hit balls into the net out in the pole barn.  Practice is limited to the indoor putting mat in the basement by the coal stove.  I should be around for the call today as outdoor projects are on hold this week.  Have a great day!
