The Good Morning Thread

[Michael.Sandoval33]

Good morning and a good Thursday spies!

Another morning began with a cup of coffee in hand (and another). One last bit of homework to complete before a quick range session. Looking forward to hearing about Ghost Golf from everybody that is able to join the conference call as I probably won't be able to make it today. Excited to watch Dune: Part Two this weekend, I didn't catch the first one in theaters but I am ready for it this time around. Well, Mr. Pickles is eyeballing me from the side of the bed so I guess it's morning walking time.

Have a great day everybody!

Good morning Spies,

Once again greetings from Central New York! Woke up to the stark reality that we are no longer in San Diego. Five inches of freshly fallen snow and temperatures 50 degrees lower. Oh, and happy “Almost Friday”!

American Airlines decide one of our bags wanted to hang out in Dallas for a bit longer. Apparently a pair of my jeans wanted to grab a bourbon with JR Ewing. As of 1:30AM the bag made it to Albany. 
 

Wishing all a wonderful day!

Good morning spies! No golf for me today instead I will work on the A&M 9000 Putter Chipper Ball tester today. I hope to have it fully constructed, tested, and operational by the time the Maxfli Tour X balls show up. 

There are some claims Maxfli makes that I need to test, but to test I needed to take me out of the equation. I had to invent something to make that happen. Details: 

Hope golf is in your day somehow!

Love it!  Just a little duct tape and baling wire and that will be Red Green ready .

Good morning spies and happy Leap Day!

Starting my day by watching the second practice session for the F1 race this weekend, as well as the first round of the Cognizant Classic. Not a terrible way to distract myself from work. 

Hoping to join the community call this afternoon. Work might be fairly busy, but I should be able to sneak on for a bit. Also might try to get a quick simulator session after work.

Weather is starting pretty chilly this morning, but temps should climb over the next few days thankfully.

@sirchunksalot good luck with everything, hope it all goes smoothly!

Hope everyone has a great day!

I think I saw you went from plus 16 to -1 or something like that, wow...

Yeah, it was crazy. From 16 to -7 this morning and I can’t even blame the Chinook’s. Fortunately back to plus 8 tomorrow.  Hope your winter season and practice are going well. One of the advantages of living on Vancouver Island

 Ended up going from 84* to 27* the next morning on Wednesday.  Casual 57* total drop.

Good morning MGS!

Office again but the sun is out snowing here in Warren OH but not at the house an hour away (shrugs) weird. Working from home tomorrow and am going to break out the old Cobra 2’s for 9 holes and see how they work. Always have loved them and if they do the trick probably gonna throw them back in the bag for this year. I get incredible distances out of my Radspeed but looking down at them just bothers me. If everything works out my the 2 of my 3 boys that play will love that they get mint Radspeeds to hit so hopefully for their sake all goes well tomorrow. Have a great day all!

Good morning! Woke up at 5:45AM with the kids the morning and I was pleasantly surprised that the older two got ready all on their own and were ready for school/daycare an hour early! That has never happened. I felt like a prank was about to come and maybe it still will! haha 

Work is meetings all day today. I do have a bit of a break from 4-4:30PM, so I might be able to hop on the community call today for the first time!

Yesterday, I was able to get to the simulator and work on my swing thought and test/compare my new Cobra LTDx to my existing gamer, PXG Gen4 0811X. It was a lot of fun!

Have a good day everyone!

@sirchunksalot - Wishing and praying for a good outcome for you and your SWMBO. I had a scar a few years ago and had a cancerous spot removed. It was in the direct center of my back and was NOT fun. I'm really hoping yours turns out to be nothing!

@Wheelieb - Congrats on your 19 years of service anniversary! I don't thank the Vets in my life enough, so @Wheelieb, @Erin B @StrokerAce & @William P, thank you for your service!

@ParFore74x - I think you're really going to enjoy those Sub70 wedges! I don't know what wedges you're coming from, but the 286s seem to have a great blend of forgiveness while still being versatile!

Thank you Sir!

Can someone tell me where to find the MGS retail product discount codes? Looking for the Shot Scope code in particular, if available.

TIA

I asked when I was at HQ this morning and there are no current ShotScope discount codes, but there may be one coming out soon.

When I finally thought we were past it. I get Hand, Foot, and mouth…. But AC is feeling better. Hopefully I can bounce back quick. Rough couple days. Hope y’all are doing better than my house! Have a great day and BE THE BLESSING!!

Good morning everyone! 

After a couple of warm days this week it has decided to turn cold this morning. I'm just hoping it doesn't feel like they're trying to boil us in the plant. 

It's community call day and I'm sad I won't be able to make it due to a doctor's appointment where I'm going to get them to look at a mole on my head. Keep Mrs Chunks in your thoughts because she's a nervous wreck.

I'm glad the weekend is almost here, hopefully I can get some practice time in. I saw some positives in my round last Tuesday and I want to keep the momentum going. 

I hope y'all have a wonderful day!

Good luck today and give Mrs. Chunks a hug, she probably needs it.

Good morning from sunny Arizona, got in last night. Weather back home 25 with snow flurries, don't miss that one bit. Hope to get a few rounds of golf in this month. Hope everyone has a great day.

Good luck at the dermatologist. I go every year. I have my annual check up in 2 weeks. I have had one mole removed 20 years ago.It was negative. Sending prayers for a positive outlook and calming thoughts for Mrs. Chunks.

As an Irish American who has made his living in Caribbean and South Florida areas I can tell you how Important regular trips to the dermatologist really are!! I would most likely be dead had I not began to go. I have had plenty of chunks taken out of me as the sun is no joke!!!

Same here.  Had a spot on my ear and had to get Mohs surgery to get it removed.   Have had a few moles/suspicious spots removed but no other cancerous spots since then.   For those  of us that are outside a lot I highly recommend an annual body scan

Talk about morning coffee and routine. I was up until 2 months ago a heavy coffee drinker with 12 to 14 teaspoons of instant coffee a day.

• Wake up and give my wife her breakfast in bed, 1st large mug of coffee (2 spoons of coffee)
• 10am next coffee  maybe decaf
• Sometimes another before lunch
• Another after lunch
• Another mid afternoon
• Then another after dinner.

Over the last year I had 2 gallstones removed and had gastric issues since July. I had stop taking dairy to try and get to the bottom of some of my issues. in January I was flying  early to Tenerife and left the house at 5am after my usual coffee. I started getting gastric chest pains mid-flight, deduced it had to be the coffee. Haven't touched it since and feel 100% better. 

I'm missing coffee but have replaced it with tea. Ted Lasso would be proud!

Mark, excellent article and review outlining the various options available depending upon your space and budget. Of great interest to many of us. Well done

Thanks for the update @cnosil

[Wheelieb]

So normally I do the posts in the morning. Today, it had to wait until the evening time. We had a board today to see if two people got their qualification they are working towards. And unfortunately, one of the guys didn’t pass. I feel bad, even though I probably shouldn’t. But I’ll still feel bad

[sirchunksalot]

I made it to the doctor today and it was basically a visit with the PCP to get a referral to a dermatologist. They put in a request with in at a local hospital and did mark it as urgent. I didn't get much more information than that but at least it's a start. I'll be waiting on a phone call to find out when my next appointment is. Hopefully the urgent will get their attention. 

I want to thank each and every one of you who had encouraging words for me and my wife, we appreciate it more than you know. It's a bit of a scary time for us and the support from you all is wonderful.

Sorry you couldn't get answers today.  Hopefully a quick turnaround on the appointment and then finding out that it isn't anything that necessitates any concern.

Absolutely. Been there, done that. As a medical person, but not a dermatologist, I had a pretty good idea what the derm was gonna tell me, but it was still a bit scary to get the biopsy report back to confirm what she had said. Hoping its a false alarm for you 

Now that jury duty has been avoided, it's time to clean out the garage. Truck reserved for 11 am after a work meeting I'd prefer to skip but can't. But after that it's time to set up the sim!

I was a massive fan of this show.  It was home improvement, but.. without the cocaine.
