Good morning MGS Troops! It's a balmy 23 degree morning here in Cheyenne Wyoming, with a high of about 44 degrees so go ahead and get your shorts and tee shirts on. Snow is still on the courses but some may melt before the forecasted Friday snow. however the sim forecasts are anywhere between 68-72 degrees. I watched the sunrise outside with coffee and los poopies. I have no plans today other than to look deep into my golf bag's eyes and profess my love to it and it's children er clubs. I will ask the golf gods to bless all the children er clubs and ask them to help the children er clubs to grow up strong and give them the stamina to play 36 holes a day if needed. And I pray none of them takes the journey to Valhalla this year. Happy Birdie Hunting MSG Troops!!!

The Valhalla track is a great track to play… Or at least was 16-17 years ago.

Good Morning,

Is it spring yet? I know we are in the latter parts but this is where it starts to take forever, isn't it? 😁 Hopefully this will help with my Sim business. I suppose I should be embracing the horror of winter LOL. This permit process feels like IT is taking forever too. 1 more inspection... I think. Then we should be open. It's looking great though, if you are in the northern Chicago area give me a holler, love to have you come out to Highwood and check the place out. Almost There....

Cheers and hit em straight if you can.

Somebody up north must have had a tad longer of a Super Bowl hangover and forgot to close the windows. Will be hard pressed to get into the mid 60’s today. May have to wear long pants. Will mess around the house and may run over to the course before heading out for the next exciting episode of my Mexican Novella like medical story. 
  Y’all make this Fat Tuesday yours in anyway that you may need to..

you think it's tough being an 'average' pro golfer, try being a weather forecaster.
the entire city of Boston and surrounding areas shutdown because they were calling for a 'nor'easter' 
schools closed, university campuses closed, everything cancelled.
a little wind from the north is all it took...

don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I hate shoveling and snowblowing and every time it snows I'm wondering how quickly it will melt.

but man these weather people are going to catch some heat! 2-5 inches is a joke.

on the flip side - not sure if you follow the mygolfspy socials but they are *hammering* the release of Tiger's Sun Day Red and I don't blame them. Looks like it was slapped together on Etsy.

It is no fun and glad I only have the degree but I am not actually predicting for people. There is just so much that goes into it that you literally can't do the math when modelling and predicting things, only computers can solve some of it when it comes to the physics. Never fun to be this far off though.

Purdue and UConn

All you need to know about Purdue is that Arkansas (currently 12-11 on the season and not in the same area code as the bubble) beat them in an exhibition when PU was at full strength. If they can lose to Arkansas, getting through six rounds in March/April does not seem likely. It's a weird year anyway. Kansas losing by 29 at Texas Tech???? I think the Madness will be madder than usual.

Good morning Spies! Nothing to report from a golfing standpoint. Finally got my last tax form and completed my annual torture session. It's basically a wash; owe the state a little, the IRS owes me a little. But that's much better than last year when I owed the feds about $2200 thanks to self-employment income, which I didn't have in 2023. Still don't know when my Spornia net and mat are coming. I may need to take the R10 back to the schoolyard for another session today or tomorrow; it's road trip for work again Thursday-Friday.

Morning Spies! Happy Fat Tuesday! I'm behind on my annual tradition of making Gumbo, so here's a picture from last year:

Love me some good gumbo! I got spoiled when I lived on the Gulf Coast not far from the Louisiana line. Gaido's Restaurant in Galveston has a particularly good roux. After we moved away, I once ordered a couple of quarts of gumbo from Gaido's to be frozen and shipped to me. Dunno if they do that any more, but I'm glad to see Gaido's survived all the hurricanes since I left.

Good morning spies and happy Fat Tuesday back at you!  I'm going to celebrate in a dentists chair this afternoon.  Since she was a DI athlete (volley ball at BC) I will make another hoops comment - I don't know why the Purdue hate.  No one, not even my huskies, are playing as well as they are right now.  College teams are not the same in late February/March as they were in November/December/early January.  These are kids, they grow and learn - Syracuse won a National Championship in a year they "lost" a scrimmage to a DII team.  

 

I get some questions about Painter given the schools recent tournament record but based on the metrics, their W-L record, Quad 1 wins, recent road wins and an eye test Purdue is in the top tier - with UConn and Houston is knocking at the front door asking to be let in.  

 

And I predict that my huskies will loose at least 2 games in the coming weeks.  Why?  Because in conference road games against desperate teams are not at all like what one will face in the NCAA tournament.  I've been to both and seen that first hand - from officiating, to crowd noise they are totally different.

Taylor Made Stealth 2 10.5 Diamana S plus 60  Aldila  R flex   - 42.25 inches

Srixon ZX5 MK II  5-GW - UST recoil Dart 65 R flex

India 52,56 (60 pending)  UST recoil 75's R flex  

Evon roll ER 5 32 inches

It's our offseason so auditioning candidates - looking for that right mix of low spin long, more spin around the greens - TBD

Well going to call on all of you to drop a comment or so for this one. I loved doing this process and will spoil some secrets here in that I far prefer to the look of these with no fill and just stripped paint. My goodness they look good. Such a fun experience an was thrilled to be able to do and write about the process.

Going to UConn game would be sweet.  They look like the real deal this year!
