Good day everyone! I took @buckpillar’s advice. With my recent putting issues, I went and had a fitting/lesson. Apparently I was setting up with my putter face slightly open at address. This caused me to take the putter back slightly outside and making contact inconsistent. Sometimes we slide into bad habits. However, also I had the wrong putter for my stroke. I need a face balanced putter. I traded in three older putters. I received the fitting/lesson with 2 pros working on me and a new Odyssey Ai-One JailBird Mini. With the trade only spent 148! If I start putting again low rounds are coming!! This putter corrected  my alignment issue.

Also relearned a great putting drill to work on the stroke.

That is nice!  @buckpillar also provided me with some sound advice after watching a few of my putting videos from the recent AI-ONE test . Seriously,  he is a knowledgeable and stand up member!!

That looks awesome @Javs , I bet it feels great and helps produce lower scores!!! Congrats on the new putter and thanks for the shout out.

Thanks for the shout outs, I used to teach golf back in the day, and I'm in pursuit of getting back into it through an accredited program to become a Teaching professional once again.

Thanks again, I can say the same for all MyGolfSpy members

Good morning everyone and happy hump day!

I'm just chilling at work waiting to walk in and then we have an all team meeting at 6 where I feel like I'm going to struggle to stay awake. Sometimes I wish I had a coffee pot in my car. 

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!

 

[Dead Solid Bogey]

Wednesday, my friends …The day where you can look back at what was or look forward to what might be. 
  Golf yesterday was another lesson in getting use to reduced distance and needing to use more club. However the reduction in mental acuity as the round progressed was more than a little distressing. Still, a great time was had in  trash talking  and gossiping . While elderly, some interesting going’s on in what is left of the golf group. 
  NO golf today. Will be fulfilling my indentured servant role by driving her high highness around doing errands.  
  May today be yours in all ways and things.. 

[Josh Parker]

Good morning!

Coffee is brewing and ready to tak on a long busy day full of work obligations.  

Hope everyone has a great day!

Goo9d morning Spies on thi9s cool, cloudy but the temperature should be mid 40's Wednesday here.

Been a very productive week for me thus far and hoping to keep that string together heading towards Friday.

Kind of a special addition to my post this morning for all the car people here on the forum too. @cksurfdude and @tony@CIC come to mind rather quickly.

Have a friend who lies in the Pomona, CA area and this past weekend they held the 74th Annual Grand National Roadsters car show there.

Link to some of the pictures he provided to me at the Google link below.

I will be attending a smaller scale indoor show here this weekend and will add them to the "Random Topic" thread once I have them.

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

Good morning spies! Starting out the day above freezing at 39° with a forecast for high 50s. Definitely makes the afternoons nice right now. Couple more days and we should be heading back towards the 20s for highs.

Tough sleeping night for some reason, only about 3 hours of shut eye so a nap may be in order after work. Maybe I’ll make it all the way through the day and sleep like a brick tonight, who knows.

Have a great day everybody! ️ 

[ejgaudette]

Good morning all!

Have another great day on tap here. Usual from a work perspective but kids have ice skating which is nice to be able to join in on. Then we have a contractor coming over to talk about an addition to our house in the future (probably a couple years). Right now though I am enjoying watching the sun rise outside the window slowly but surely.

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

[CSiders12]

Good morning and happy Wednesday! Coffee is flowing and the mood is high. Ready to take on the day. Let's make it a great one!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Good morning MGSpies from frosty cold still dark but rolled the garbage out already WNY and there will be scraping windows to get wife on her way  but not those working in basement central with computer going online for a zero commute workday (that would be me)  coffee already warming the space faster than the space heater middle of the week and just leaning forward to the end of the week.  Jason @sirchunksalot keep a small thermos by the coffee pot and make twice as much as that is what works for me  Hope golf is a part of your day!

Good morning Spies!

Sitting in the dark in the gym parking lot, imbibing Java, and perusing the forum until my little voice tells me I have delayed long enough.   Ha.

A dynamic day on tap today with loads of work, lunch with an old friend, plus some indoor practice late afternoon.  Then back to the office for what will likely be a late night.  So be it - plenty of fun mixed in, and I am grateful to have clients I like, a good team, and interesting work to do.  Some days I am better at that feeling of gratitude than others!

The garage is slowly getting cleaned.  Sim deliveries start in earnest today.  For once, all those Amazon packages on the porch will be for me!  It’s getting exciting.  Maybe time to start a new thread …

I wish you all fantastic days.  Carpe diem!

[Preeway]

Good morning everyone. Week has started off with some long days between work and the kids. Looking forward to a more normal day and getting home with enough time to get in my workout. The warm weather looks to be fading away with the normal February temps returning by next week. Overnight temps might keep the courses closed a while longer. If spring is coming soon, you wouldn’t be able to guess by looking outside. Keeping fingers crossed that Puxatawney Phil isn’t just full of it this year, . Hope everyone has a great day ahead. 

[BLD7]

Good morning MGS! It's been a full week at the office so far and that won't change today. The basketball team had a good time last night watching film of themselves play a 4-man zone in our game Monday game (they won the game) but we got refocused, reviewed a few things to improve on, and have another game to play tonight. Here's to hoping we stay out of foul trouble. Wishing you all a happy hump day!

[Rob Person]

Have a great day spies! Off to fulfill my role in public (indentured) service. Let this 12 hours fly by.... please?!

[Cfhandyman]

A fine good morning to all.  It’s going to be at least a 2 cup of coffee morning as I work through reading all the posts. I’m reminded of how many kind, nice and helpful people there are in this community. Very refreshing and puts a smile on my face. For Wednesday’s message of the day. Have a wonderful day everyone. 

[Wheelieb]

Today is the duty day for me. Which means I am stuck at a computer for the next 10 hours. I think I will write up my unofficial review of the Wilson Triad ball that I used on the course this past Friday. I mean, three birdies and no snowmen on the card, that's got to be a big plus right? Anyhow, Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

[buckpillar]

Good Morning MyGolfSpy Nation, going to hit the course today for 9 holes. Getting out the simulator is going to be great! Maybe possible golf days on the course depending on schedule.

Here is the forecast for the next few days. Check out those SHORTS weather TEMPS!

Hey @EasyPutter  is see your not to far from Batavia, My Dad played Baseball in the P.O.N.Y. league in 1952 for the Pirates minor league team there.

Good morning everyone! 

While waiting to fully wake up I stumbled into the "What wedges are you playing" thread here on the forum.  Grabbed one of mine (Ping Glide 3.0) to take a quick picture to post.  As I was manipulating it with one hand I heard a rattle in the shaft.  I thought maybe some epoxy but the sound is a steady sound that travels the full length of the shaft.  I believe Ping (may other companies, too) used small ball-bearings in the hosel to seat shaft and head.  Now I'm wondering (1) if that is what the sound might be, and (2) if the club is still okay to use?  (The latter is especially important since Michigan weather may be giving us enough of a break for the next two days to get out on the course!)

[CFreddie]

Good morning MGS! 
 

Last day of our work conference down in Orlando, so excited to head back home this evening. 
 

Really hoping my schedule clears up EOW to get some golf in, it’s been really hard staying at a hotel down here next to a golf course and not being able to play it.

Morning Spies, Just another Bee You Tee Full day in paradise here in foggy cold Chicagoland. But we may hit 50 in the next few days, so it isn't too bad I guess. Hoping I get the OK to open my new sim in the next few days, this Trackman is pretty awesome. Except it shows me all my flaws LOL. Pretty excited to get some customers in here soon. 

Cheers and hit em straight if you can.

I know they put them in the putters, Ping just refinished my old Anser putter and it has a ball bearing pressed into the shaft at the hosel.

Btw they do and awesome job and cheap, they give you the cost upfront.

Before --

After the Coke a Cola Bath

 

After PING refinished the putter for $24.00 plus shipping

Good Wednesday Morning Spies, 

Chilly 50 degrees this morning in Central Florida, going to be sunny today & get to high 60's.'  No golf this morning, doctors appointment. However, I may put my clubs in car, just in case on the way back from dr's my vehicle should veer into a golf course parking lot! Just saying.  Wife is gone for the day or I may just venture to an Italian Deli for some pepperoni & provolone. Hmmm. 

Have a Great Day Everyone! Stay Warm!

Last year I bought an Anser off of eBay. I didn’t know that Ping offered this.I will have to investigate this. Thanks for sharing.

Good morning Spies,

Happy Hump Day! It’s a frosty, sunny and 25 degree morning in CNY. The coffee is going down nicely. Not much on tap for the day. An actual run and a Costco run are in the works for today. 
Wishing all a wonderful day!
