The Good Morning Thread

[Swood1994]

Good morning everyone. 

I woke up to more snow on the ground. Mother Nature really likes to play games this time of year in our region. She can’t seem to make up her mind on the season. Excited to join the community call today and outside of that just a busy work day!

@GolfSpy_APH congratulations on the HQ announcement it is well deserved!

@Erin B sending positive vibes your way for some good news today!

have a great Thursday everyone!

[cksurfdude]

And a Good Friday Eve Morn all!!

How about that weather, huh? Wow it is both much colder and way windier here vs the past few cold, windy days!

So golf will be indoors today .. at another session of a 5 week clinic. Did do some outdoor range time yesterday, including some needed putting practice where I'm working on a new setup and grip.

Later today I'm helping a friend with a tee shirt printing business move out one of the old machines in his shop - it's 25 ft long and.. get this.. 3,000 lbs...!!

He's like no problem it's on special dollies, I have my nephew coming over who works out he's big and strong..... 

I guess that will be my strength workout for the day .. and hopefully can swing a golf club at that clinic after!

So prob won't make the Community Call today but have fun with it for those who can.

Have a good one everybody!!

CONGRATS!!!

[Dead Solid Bogey]

Good morning MGS friends… First thing, thank all of you for your well wishes and support. My health issues pale to what many of our fellow golfers of this forum are dealing with. Mine are still getting more and more in the way of living life like I would want, so I am trying to be a semi-adult and deal with them. 
  @GolfSpy_APH congrats, you work significantly more on here part time than most people do at their full time gig. Thank you for all that you are doing… Hoping that the little ones have recovered and are back to being full force youth. 
   Have a couple of more tests this morning, including a version of a swallow test…. Man, if this was someone else taking this test, I would have a few “randy”suggestions to make about it. 
    Should head home sometime this evening, depending on how much the Free Spending Female plans on stimulating the big city’s economy…. She has inquired a couple of times if I really had purchased a “ Ghost Golf “ bag. I have answered the same both times, that it was a “work in progress” kinda thing. My hope is that her highness’s female math equivalency purchase(s) are within  two to three times the cost of the “ Ghost Bag “. Vegas is currently saying; “ Yeah, good luck with that “ 
   For those on the “ Community Call “ enjoy and remember to kindly post a Cliff’s Notes version for the rest of us. 
   May you all have a terrific Thursday.

Good morning MGS troops! My alarm didn’t wake me up because my spousal unit fell asleep on the couch. I didn’t want to try to get her into bed because she was out.

So los poopies of course slept with her. 

This was my wake up. I must have slept pretty hard because I woke up exactly like the gif shows. Today we may get a call about the biopsy. The stress is unreal. I had an opportunity to play today and didn’t have the urge. Here’s to hearing good news. Happy Thursday to you all, have a blessed day, and if you’re playing, happy birdie hunting!

Sending TEXAS sized good vibes for your lady… Hope you are celebrating good news today.

Good morning, fellow Spies!  It is golf day here in the Ozarks with a predicted high in the low 60's.

[StrokerAce]

Good morning y'all !

Just want to say how lucky WE all are - @GolfSpy_APH and his team continue to bring us forum members some incredible testing opportunities to enjoy this game we all love. They are batting a thousand and keep knocking it out of the park and we're very fortunate to be along for the ride.

Love this time of year.

March madness starts today - the excitement of this tournament is unparalleled in all sports. 99% of these kids are playing for the love of the game and the agony and ecstasy is so much fun to follow along with.

The Masters is right around the corner.

Spring flowers are blooming and the days are getting longer.

The sun is at that right angle where you can really feel the warmth.

It's going to be great golf season!

Have a day everyone. 

don't forget to check out my Sea Island review!

Pinehurst was SO much fun! Anyone that hasn’t played it, you should if you can. 

Agreed! Once again, if you can, play the Cradle. It's an hour of pure fun!

[Michael.Sandoval33]

Good morning everybody!

Up early for my 7am tee time. A little par 31 9-hole that gave me a swift kicking back in November as the first course I played when I started golfing again. Excited to give it an overdue kicking right back! Hoping my back holds up but it felt fine yesterday and same this morning. I'll make sure to get a good stretch before teeing off.

Besides that, it's Thursday so have a great day everybody!

Good morning to all from the frozen northern tundra. Double espresso by the fire place going down very smoothly. Indoor golf later this morning, but wishing I were here.

Good morning spies! Beautiful day here, hopefully tomorrow will be also so I can get out on the course. Great day to be a college basketball fan, I’m surprised my spy didn’t have a bracket group somewhere. 

[MattWillGolf]

Good morning Spies,

Coffee on a sunny, windy and snow covered morning. The white stuff covered the ground but not much more than that really. We certainly haven’t gotten anything like @EasyPutter gets in Buffalo. 
Sending prayers and positive thoughts to @Erin B for wonderful results for his good lady.

Hope @BreakfastBall15 is healing up well and wishing you well for a good biopsy report.

Congrats Jamie! @GolfSpy_APH Great to see the recognition. The forum has really taken off and glad to see that it’s been recognized as an integral part of My Golf Spy.

It was great seeing such a cool test opportunity for Motocaddy. As a walker now in his 60s with arthritis this one definitely merits watching. My wife bought a new bike last year. Her stable currently has three. Bikes are her equipment addiction. Hmm, maybe a motorized cart could be my new “bike”.

Wishing all a wonderful day!

Good morning Spies!!

It's another chilly, but sunny morning here on the Plateau of Central TN. But getting up to the mid 60's, sadly with rain starting this afternoon all the way through Saturday morning. So good news, bad news with the weather lately. Lots of rain next week as well. I guess it is Spring after all and our lakes and water table are happy about it, especially when the dry summer hits the courses.

I have my annual physical this afternoon. Nothing bad expected, but the doctor is going to be giving me the finger, which is never fun. But I'll get some paperwork signed off on for my insurance, which will translate into $ rewards. So I'll take it.

New cabinets should arrive for the laundry room this weekend, so hopefully we'll be all set and ready for them when we get them here. Dad got the second coat of mud on yesterday and will sand it all nice and smooth today. Then some additional wall touch-ups, corner caulking, texture spray for the wall, paint, and cabinet installation. There is an end in sight!

Anyway, everyone have a great day and a great community call.

Good morning friends! hope yall's weeks are going great. I am in the middle of the grind, getting ready for a tourny on April 1st. I hope to be ready, but only April 1st will know. Plan on hitting the range today, walking 9 tomorrow, 18 on Saturday, rest on Sunday. Then prep week heading into Easter! Hit em straight, Lets go get it, BE THE BLESSING!

Good Morning Spies!

Happy Thursday!  Kind of excited today for my oldest daughter.  She has a couple of calls with some volleyball coaches as potential landing spots for her for college.  She is super nervous about it.  I am probably as excited for her as she is nervous.  Other than that, work as usual.

Have a great day everyone!

@Girldad18, best of luck to your daughter! Very exciting times, for sure!

Good morning fellow spies and happy Thursday! One step closer to the weekend, and unfortunately the impending snow storm , coming our way. My favorite time of the year, aside from Masters Weekend, is about to begin. NCAA March Madness is upon us! Will be taking in an obnoxious amount of college basketball over the next month as I hope to see my Badgers return to midseason form and make a run to the Sweet 16 or possibly further. 

@GolfSpy_APH, congrats on the very well deserved HQ recognition. The passion, energy and effort you put into what you do here at the forum is the primary driver for what this fantastic place is today. Thankful to have been a small part of it to this point, and looking forward to MANY more years!

[Rob Person]

Good morning spies!  Lots of great articles and reviews and test opportunities to catch up on!

Congrats Jamie @GolfSpy_APH on your well deserved recognition!!!

@Erin B positive thoughts still forthcoming!

@Dead Solid Bogey hoping your ailments will subside quickly.

Meanwhile at work, the LT attempted to broach his daily mantras onto the squad, but he cast them to the  briefing room monitor instead.   To which an unknown source also cast one of their own...

Congrats Jamie @GolfSpy_APH always good to see great effort recognized and rewarded. 

I'm triple booked this afternoon and will miss another community call (and golf and NCAA)

Stay warm for those of us in the wintry Spring areas

Good morning friends, I hope everyone is having a good week so far.
The first round of the season keeps getting away from me.

Last week my buddy got sick, this week there is snow on the forecast for tonight and tomorrow.

Maybe next week.

As a girl dad of a 1 year old, this is awesome and exciting to see (mainly because i have never thought like this before lol)! Hopefully these calls go good and leading to a college home and a good education. Let her know we are rooting for her!

Not yet!  Would be a dream for her.  In a round about way it would be a benefit to the program for her to be there as her grades are good enough for academic scholarship and my wife works there so she would get a huge discount.  She could probably go there for very little cost, if any.  We just have to see how it plays out.  I told her she could be the Rudy of U of A volleyball...

[Alan Scalzi]

Going to try something new today! A week day round then tournament basketball! Not sure any thing could beat this day! Happy national basketball tournament day!!!

[Byrnzee]

Good morning spies!

Today is my Friday, as my wife, my dog and I are headed to an AirBnB in Michigan for a weekend with some friends and their dogs. Should be very relaxing and will be nice to get away from the city for a few days.

Very exciting day as the Valspar Championship and March Madness begin (also can't forget about the Community Call this afternoon!)

A huge congratulations to Jamie @GolfSpy_APH on his HQ recognition. You do so much for this forum and have made this community what it is today. Well deserved, my friend.

Onto my second cup of coffee and a busy day ahead! Hope everyone has a great one

Excellent! Regardless, best of luck to her. Jason can't take everybody, as much as he would like to.
