The Good Morning Thread

[Golf2Much]

@cnosil great to hear that your home and on the mend and sorry to hear about your cat.  When it rains, it pours!  

Stay positive, do what the doctors say (no end arounds thinking it's OK to do what they didn't say not to do) and give that special cat an extra few pets and treats!

Convinced the doctor I was ready to go home!   Feels so good to not be at the hospital and laying in my own bed.  Blandish food for about a week no driving for 2, a few other restrictions.   Didn’t say no golf but the no lifting probably means I can’t get my bag to the car.   .  
glad to be home with the family cat since the doctor said she didn’t have much time left.  As soon as I came home and got in bed she came and laid next to me and hasn’t left my side.  

I'm glad you got to come home early and spend some time with the family cat. I know they sometimes get a bad rap, but cats can be some of the sweetest animals. 

Hopefully you'll recover quickly and that the time you're restricted will go by fast.

For the WIN…. The high point of the weekend my friend. Here is to your continued recovery.

One functional brain cell, I’m convinced it’s in her poor tail.

When it is warm enough to play but the course is too frozen/snowy to even use the range, you hit a few LWs off the patio under the watchful eye of your coach. She doesn’t have much to say but will “modify” the stray shot if I don’t pick it up quickly enough.  Supposed to be 54° on Friday so, maybe . . .

Your ever watchful coach has the stare down quite well.

Morning all!

Was looking through my golf related photos yesterday, and after watching Joaquin Niemann win another event, I've realised that I must be a good luck charm. 

2022, only got a photo with Cam Smith, Cam went on to win the Aus PGA Championship that week, wins 2 solo events after that on the LIV Tour
2023, got a photo with Min Woo first, and then Joaquin. Min Woo won that week, Joaquin wins the week after at the ISPS Australian Open, and now again on LIV.

What I'm trying to say is, I'm now open to the option of selling a selfie with me to help your game

Glad your released @cnosil !  Keep positive thoughts through recovery, and sorry to hear about your furbaby.

[William P]

@cnosil So glad to hear you are doing well enough to go home. Take it nice and easy and work on a full recovery.  So sorry to hear about your furry friend. They do have a way of becoming an integral member of your family.

You're welcome! 

I need to remember this is a feature and do a review of the golf courses in my area. I guess once I'm out on the course I'm just thinking about how I'm playing and trying to remember details from my round. 

I need to do that also. My area isn’t really a tourist destination, but there is a lot of golf courses that could be reviewed!

And I'm also very glad to hear you're back at home! Being stuck in a hospital just plain sucks. Take care with the recovery .. be patient, you'll be back in action soon

But very, very sorry to read the news about Miss Kitty Cat... She really is cute! And all of us animal lovers know that our pets are the best!!

Beautiful doggo!! Had a male Black Lab, along with a Flat-Coated Retriever, who would also like to ummm "help" me pick up both golf and Birdie balls when I'd practice with a wedge off my back patio!

Yeah the balls got a little "customized" .. and slobbered .. but heck it was fun for all of us

My first dogs (50+ years ago) were also a black lab and a flat coated retriever.  They made quite the pair!  Didn’t golf in those days but every ball got some slobber!

Good morning everyone!

It's Monday and time to head back to work. At least it's a rare one where I don't have to start early and can relax a little bit more before heading in. I can't say I slept the best last night, I woke up a couple of times and my mind was buzzing each time.

It was a great weekend and I got to spend a lot of quality time with my family and even got out to practice. 

I hope you all have a great start to the week!

[Josh Parker]

Good Monday morning!

Coffee is brewing and a busy day ahead.  Ready to get a few things going that have been in the works.

Have a great day everyone!

Because apparently I wanted to start my week off on a terrible note I decided to go through and try to call all the numbers to get my previous train ticket refunded (was cancelled due to a strike). The company providing the ticket won't pick up and I have sent in two forms with no response to anything. The company who sold the ticket won't do a think because well they can just stone wall... don't get me started and no I am on a call with the phone tv internet CS trying to get the move sorted... which of course is just wonderful fun. Not sure why I did this today... but I did. 

Outside of that it has been a stellar day with great weather and well no sleep again last night, but the coffee was superb this morning.

Good morning Spies on a back to work in to the facility cool and cloudy Monday morning here in the Motor City.

Hope you get it all sorted Jamie, @GolfSpy_APH, i know how frustrating that can be to get the results you want and need.

Will be a busy week here for me, a lot of presentations created over the weekend and more to do to provide documentation of part analysis, plus the usual data analysis and meetings.

Looking forward to next Saturday here, a smaller sized indoor car show on the agenda, and I will post a link too the photos afterwards for Chuck, @cksurfdude and others to view.

Hope that your day is the best it can be, and all you need it to be, and that something enjoyable is in your plans. 

[ParFore74x]

Happy Monday spies! Back to the grind today and as fas as I know there will be no OT this week. That can change the blink of an eye of course but, I am hopeful that there will be none.

Starting the day off at 26° and clear with the forecast calling for mid 50s today. Glad to see that warmer weather sticking around a bit.

Have a great day everyone!

[Cfhandyman]

Good morning to all.  An early start to the day, coffee is going down very nicely on a coolish morning, but the huskies are happy.  I thought I would try a different approach today/this week.  Have a great and enjoyable day.

[EasyPutter]

Good morning MGSpies on a frozen clear sky Monday in WNY with a really nice forecast for February this week - teaser as there are no outdoor golf anythings open because of the usual winter conditions that may return next week  hot coffee already making the morning better and computer already on the network so here we go!  

Like Grogu I am in a Fitness program except it will happen at lunchtime when I will be fitness and fitnat in my mouth 

Hope golf is a part of your day!

Good morning spies! Finally got over the sickness that hung around all last week. Feeling much better today which helps lead into the new week. Not too busy of a week this week, so hopefully I can enjoy the days and get back on the schedule. I hope the week is a great one for you as well.

Have a magical Monday!

[johngschulz]

Morning! I made cold brew over night hoping to kick the day off right. It’s been a little warmer around here, so I hope to get my first outdoor round for the year in soon! Cheers

[ejgaudette]

Good morning all!

Had a lovely weekend, got out for some skiing, got a run in. The kids after sleeping over at my parents wanted to go to my wife parents which worked out this weekend. Cutest thing ever is our youngest is a little over 2 and still really misses Mom at bed, so out middle one (she is 4) got them to snuggle and that is how the slept all night. Just awesome to see them care for each other like that.

Have a great Monday all!

Good morning everyone. Starting off my week trying to maintain optimism that golf will happen this weekend. Warm temps all week is hopefully the key so keeping the fingers crossed. Sorry to hear about the moving challenges, @GolfSpy_APH. I swear, I’d rather cut off my pinky toe with a dull spoon than move again. Our last move was something out of a Stephen King novel. Hope everyone has a warm cup of coffee to start their day and some sunshine to go on top. Cheers!

First cup just poured myself.  Also you bet your ass I booked a tee time again for later this week.  Back in the 60's!  Just had a facebook memory show up yesterday of a pic I took that had 5" of snow on the ground at this time (and still going).

Also still trying to wrap my head around the fact I can actually hit a 9* driver.  Will be leaving mine set to 9.75* for the next around... could be interesting.

Jamie, so sorry to hear that. Didn’t they tell you when you moved to Switzerland that the word convenience apparently isn’t in the German lexicon, especially when it applies to refunds. The Germans do some things exceptionally well, but in this case, I think you are experiencing a classic case of “Arbeit geht wek”, translated as “work go away” when they don’t answer your calls. You will get it sorted out eventually.
