The Good Morning Thread

[berkeleybob]

Morning all.

Restless night, unfortunately, as my dog kept wanting out. I think he hears dead people. Or hares. ️

Still I’m excited about this week’s prospect for golf, time permitting. Have a good one!

Good morning on the way too early to be awake since we lost an hour of sleep due to a needless time change Monday. 

I didn't sleep too well last night either, but not due to a restless pupper like @berkeleybob. I think I was dreaming about being late for work and also my wife was up and down all night. Maybe she needed to be let out...

Honestly though, she informed me when I woke up that the fridge kicked off not too long after I went to bed and still wasn't on when I got up. At least the freezer was still working. We might be in the market for a new one. 

I hope you all have a great day!

@sirchunksalot That’s one of the worst kinds of dreams to have. My recurring one is when I’m driving, the car’s in reverse, can’t see where I’m going and I can’t reach the brake to stop it.

As for the fridge, there’s probably a myfridgespy forum somewhere on the internet.

It's crazy where the mind will take you while you're asleep and it's always so random. 

The good thing about the fridge is Lowe's happens to have a sale going on right now. I'd rather not buy another one but I've had this one 10 years, so things are bound to happen. If I were to try to fix it, it would probably break worse.

Goooooood morning fellow spies! Up before the sun to head to the airport for Cancun! Flight departs at 6:15. I am in desperate need of caffeine and have Oppenheimer and Full Swing downloaded to my phone for flight entertainment on the way there and back. Will check in occasionally this week as I can. Looking forward to a week off work and some margaritas!

[Josh Parker]

Good Monday morning!

Busy morning planned for some real estate items. Have 2 listings that need photos and some drone videos done and then spending the afternoon with the kiddos.  

@sirchunksalot 10 years on a fridge is pretty good. 

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning Spies on a back to work Monday for me here in Michigan.

Still a cold morning, but low 50's for the high today, then the temperature is supposed to stabilize a bit with some rain during the week.

Plans for me are to make it through a busy week ahead and get a round in outdoors next Saturday.

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

Have fun @GolfSpy_KFT and enjoy your vacation time away.

Good morning to each , much cooler here today , 50’s to start and low 70’s but better than cold and snow . Hope all have a smooth sailing type of day and that you receive all you wish for . May you and your families be blessed , kind ,and grateful.

Good morning spies. Its is Monday but it is also the first of back-to-back three day work weeks for me. We have a soccer tournament to attend this week so work is Monday-Wednesday this week and Wednesday-Friday next week.

Starting the day off at 35° but we should be around 70° for the high for each of the next three days. I’m definitely looking forward to that.

Hoping to get a notice that my new sand wedge from Sub 70 ships today. I’m pretty excited about it’s arrival and that will be it for new equipment for me for 2024…..well, should be anyway. We never really know do we? I’ve been wanting to do an updated WITB after seeing so many others so that should be in my future as well.

Have a great Monday spies.

Well hopefully Callaway does something for any of those affected. I destroyed a putter and a 3 wood via my neglect on wiping them down and apparently at certain times out of the year some of that stuff they put down is pretty nasty

Hadn't really thought of reaching out to Callaway; but I did see on another site that Callaway had taken care of those others affected.  However, that was back when Mavrik was still fairly new.  I am not going to sweat over it. I posted more out of curiosity and finally remembering to throw a line out to the forum.  My very weak thought was that it could be a face material weakness due to metal fatigue, but I don't have the swing speed for that, nor do I use 3w often enough.  It didn't appear to my eye to be rust/chemical reaction, but that makes the most sense and aligns with the others.  I appreciate it!

It does kind look like the outline of the face to me, eg where it's welded or brazed or whatever'ed onto the body .. tho couldn't guess the cause other than environmental factors and/or chemical exposure like Marlin Dave suggested..?

Did you try a metal cleaner or a magic eraser pad?

The shape of the discoloration made me think it was the welded/brazed/superglued face.  I haven't tried a cleaning product, other than vigorous scrubbing with both a cotton terry and microfiber towel--which made zero difference.  I'll give a good cleaner a try and see what difference it makes.  The discoloration reminds me of the faces from the wooden-wood days.

Top of the morning gents!  As a manager once said, "Monday is the day of greatest potential."  Hope you guys have a great and promising start to the week!

Good morning MGSpies on a crispy white over hopefully last gasp of winter (but probably no where near as much snow as @MattWillGolf and other Spies midstate way) here in WNY  already plying the network flow beginning the zero commute day of this workweek, coffee hitting the spot and mind full of the second half of the week road trip with son to the Carolinas for his last Spring Break before full-time college becomes a thing of his past  that will include golf and visits with brother and nephews  so mind running in many directions today as tomorrow is an office workday, then leaving for points south after work - it all has to be ready to go before bedtime tonight  hopefully not going to join the sleeping issues crew   hope golf is a part of your day

Good Monday Morning Spies! 
A chilly Central Florida morning to start, 53 degrees & windy. The time change it’s still dark at 7am. 7:30am tee time, only have time to walk 9 holes today. 
 

Nice win by Scottie Scheffler at Bay Hill yesterday!  Conditions were challenging!  Have a great day everyone! Stay warm and Hit’em straight️

There was a study done where they asked people if they ever remember looking at their phone in their dreams. Almost all of them said they don’t remember any phones, and a few said they didn’t recall. Wild what our mind does in our dreams. 
 

With that, Morning All,

 

Day eight of my work week. I shouldn’t have a super busy day, but I do need to go over to the command that did the inspection of our armory cage and find out the grade I got. Which means either pass or fail, we don’t get letter grades for that. Hope everyone has a good day.

Good Morning Spies!  

Chilly start to the morning here in NWA.  Late night last night as we got home from volleyball and the wife had to do some work, hence, delaying my precious bed time.  Makes for a long day.  Looks like the weather will be nice this week so may get a chance to get out and practice a bit, if I can grab a nap somewhere.

Have a great Monday!

I played volleyball for a lot of years; it’s how I injured my left knee and eventually had it replaced.  For 8 years I was a referee for H.S. and college girls volleyball.

So you're one of them...just kidding.  I love watching her play and seeing her grow.  She's dealing with a bakers cyst on her one knee and had a shoulder get dislocated a few years ago that moves around her.  She's a tough one.

Who are you trying to fool @Dead Solid Bogey ??? You know dang well without the "paradoxical princess " to oversee your dysfunction,  you will be confused and bewildered while out and about. Hey, is that a drone following you?

That is why the plan is to use the company truck to …. run,run away out of you-know-who’s territorial control. There is always a catch to freedom. 

[David Staller]

Good morning,

Once again we were shown that Scottie with a decent putting week is no match for the rest of the field. In the last 2.5 season he has been in the top 10 60% of the time with lackluster putting most of the time.  Pretty impressive!

Happy Monday all, we went to see Bill Burr last night and had a great night out. 
Up, properly coffeed and logged into work. I do miss the hour they stole (borrowed until fall?) from my weekend.
In fridge news, ours is nearing it's 3rd decade and I guess we've gotten our money's worth.

Good morning everyone and a happy Monday to all. Moving slowly this morning and even the caffeine is not helping. Maybe it’s because it’s now daylight savings time and my body is still on standard time. 

@GolfSpy_KFT enjoy your vacation in “Margarita ville”
Impressive showing by Scottie Scheffler yesterday. Geez is that all it takes is add a new putter to the bag. 

[TJ Hall]

Good morning…wife and I had an early flight yesterday, which became even earlier with the time change, for our first trip without the kids.

[Erin B]

Good morning MGS Troops! Happy Monday from Mesquite NV! Yesterday was Falcon Ridge GC and it was fun. This morning I believe we play Casa Blanca GC. Hopefully I’ll get the game on track. 

Have a great morning! Happy Birdie Hinting!

Good morning from Augusta, GA, Spies! Just drove into downtown on Washington Road which takes you right past Augusta National Golf Club. But if you aren't paying very close attention you wouldn't realize it. The boundary of the club is a wall of high hedges and there are two or three service drives blocked by fences. When you finally get to Magnolia Lane is the first (easily missed) clue: a small sign with the ANGC logo and the words "Members Only". And, of course, a security gate to keep it that way. I believe the par 3 course is the closest area to Washington Road, just behind the hedges between Magnolia Lane and Eisenhower Road.

Will I ever get to go through that gate? I seriously doubt it.

Good morning Spies,

Awoke to sunny skies, 31 degrees, fresh snow on the ground and crazy high winds blowing snow all over the place here in CNY. A cuppa with our foster dog on the couch. A bit of breakfast is on tap, a short walk with the dog and a running workout on the treadmill given the weather this morning.

Wishing all a wonderful day!

We are only making a quick stop in Miami, hopping on a ship this afternoon.  There were people around, but not too crazy.  We walked around Bayfront Park for a while, sat at the waterfront bar and had dinner out on the balcony.

Other than waking up at 3:30 to catch the flight, it was a good start!

Same here (or hare)…. my dog growls and barks and seemingly nothing. That is until I looked through the thermal scope and …..

Yes, hares, rabbits….the nemesis of dogs everywhere. And don’t forget they are keeping YOU safe. Good luck!

It appears we didn’t get as much as predicted but with the high winds, it may have just been blown all over the place.
