The Good Morning Thread

[CSiders12]

Good morning, it's finally Friday! Kind of crappy weather today, with sleet and snow in the forecast. This week, I have been helping coach our high school golf team since we have so many players out. We have 32 players out for golf which is more than we have ever had.

Helping players get better by making subtle adjustments and seeing their pure joy when improving is very rewarding. I love seeing young players get into the game of golf. And best of all, I'm getting a free membership to a Topgolf!

Let's all have a phenomenal Friday!

[Swood1994]

Good morning everyone and happy Friday!

Nothing new to report other than fresh snow and cold weather. Now that sim league is over I'm hoping the weather turns and spring comes back in full force with outdoor golfing weather. 

Need to go car shopping for a new family vehicle this weekend and I'm doing my best to resist the minivan but the wife is pushing hard for it and ultimately it will be her car so she has more say in this than I. I guess the benefit for me would be I can load up a van for a golf trip in the future?

I hope everyone has an easy day to finish up the work week and a great weekend!

Good morning all and for one of the first times in my life, I say this with a grain of salt, Happy Friday 

Why the lack of enthusiasm on what is typically one of the best days of the week you may be asking yourself? After all, March Madness is under way, Bucky plays tonight, and I should be done at 12:45pm. 

Wellllll......Mother Nature decided we need not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE INCHES OF SNOW overnight last night after being snow free and temps in the 40s-60s for the better part of March. Potentially a bit more coming over the weekend. 

Seems the first false spring of Wisconsin has come to an end. March came in like a lamb, so naturally it will go out like a lion lol.

In all seriousness, happy Friday MGS crew!

Good morning! I'm in St. Louis area today visiting family before we head the rest of the way to Branson tomorrow. I have a couple of items for work that I need to finish up remotely and then I'll be in true vacation mode for the next week. Golf is on the plans, but we don't have any official tee times yet because the weather keeps changing drastically day-to-day!

Have a good day everyone!

[Erin B]

Good Friday morning to you MGS troops! I guess no news is good news because we haven’t heard anything about the spousal unit’s biopsy. Maybe today…My fitting with Ping is today!

Let's hope I hit well and have good results! I don’t want this happening 

Although I guess it would be kinda funny. I’m excited to see if my fitting has changed since I’ve lost 25lbs. I’m not thinking it has other than needing to go a little shorter on the driver shaft. I’m thinking I need to lose an inch to 45” instead of 46”. I don’t think I’ll lose any distance but we shall see. The new Newton shaft that they sent me is perfect except it’s about an inch too long. Angelo had it tipped which helped a lot on the height issue. It’s long and straight now. Hope you all have a blessed Friday, hope you hit them straight and long, and as always, happy birdie hunting! Wyo out!!!

I enjoyed the community call yesterday with Philip, he's always been a great guest and it's fun getting a peek inside Most Wanted testing. 

It's a bit of a rainy morning here and it's going to be a wet weekend, but the work week is almost over. It's been a long one and it'll be nice to spend some time with the family. 

@PapaGoose8, it sounds like you had a good time at Pinehurst and I hope you have a wonderful experience at Tobacco Road. That's a bucket list course for me even though I think it would eat my lunch. It's just so beautiful. 

I hope you all have a good day!

Morning @sirchunksalot I was planning on being on yesterday but work had different plans for me and I spent most of my evening on a conference call

Good morning Spies, and happy TGIFF!!

It's a warmer morning but overcast with rain from overnight and more incoming.

Nothing special to report today. Rain this weekend and temps to cold to play (at least for my sorry a$$). Soon though.

Gonna finally get to work on my taxes this weekend. Shouldn't be overly tough as they usually take me a few hours in one sitting to knock them out. I'm just really good at procrastinating actually doing them. Should be a refund, but we'll see what new laws were put into place to screw us out of more of our hard earned money.

Anyway, have a great Friday all!

[J7Hawkins]

Morning all! Headed to the gym now after finishing my coffee. Stayed up a bit later last night watching the March Madness and rooting for the upsets (as my team is not apart of the dance…AGAIN). I have a tee time later today but no Friday match as my buddy is busy today. Not a whole lot planned for the weekend for a change so maybe I’ll get lucky and play a few rounds between now and Monday. Let’s hope! Hit ‘em hard!

I'm going to need a nap on Saturday for sure if I'm gonna make it! Our plan is to watch it live but that's way past my bed time 

Same here. Getting par 10pm is tough in my world. Staying up until 1am to watch the whole race might be quite the task.

Update on my daughters calls for those that followed, they both went great.  The school closer to us is also a lot cheaper.  But it is her decision.  Luckily she should have scholarships to cover most if not all of her school.  

Have a great day Spies!  If you get to play, have fun!

That’s great news for her!

Good Friday Morning Spies! 

Rainy Central Florida Morning, 65 degrees. Delaying Ranger duties this morning. Rain is supposed to pass about noon time, then head to golf course. No golf today.  Finishing 2nd cup of espresso and working my regular job this morning, good catching up.  

Catholic Spies remember, it's Friday, no meat.  One more Friday! LOL. 
@GolfSpy_KFT hang in there, my friend from MN texted me a photo this morning, they got 7 inches of new snow! Ugh! 
Have a Great Day Everyone!  Stay warm & stay dry. 

[EnderinAZ]

Good morning spies! All these posts about, dare I say it...snow (shudder), and well, we are looking at bright sunshine and 81 degrees for this afternoons round. Had to make a chipper adjustment on the 9000. Cut the head off and reset it to be more lofted. I get pretty good spin out of it now. Details will be in the Tour X testing thread. 

Hit 'em straight if you get to play today!

[RickM71]

Heading away to warmer weather for Spring break but don't think I'll get to play any golf. Maybe some mini golf with the kids. First time I'll have a break in my Stack training and curious how that will change things. I just started my second course. 

[snoopy79]

Happy Friday MGS peeps!

Watching the Valspar, drinking some java, and doing the work thing this morn. Really want to play but there will be no golf related activities on tap for a while as I work to pay for these home repairs. In the meantime I can take swipes out in the yard and watch the pros on TV. It's nuts how windy it is on the course for the Valspar today.

If you get out this weekend to have fun and hit 'em well!!

Cheers

Keeping the good thoughts for your Mrs. @Erin B.

Thank you sir! We’re hoping that because it’s taking so long it’s not bad news. Fingers crossed! She’s going with me for my fitting today and maybe a dinner date.

Be safe traveling the rest of the way to Branson, and be sure to not only have fun with the family, but also post some picture here as well.

A lot to do and see in that area and the golf rates should still be "off-peak" season pricing.

We just got rid of our minivan of 18 years.  Not stylish, not cool but oh so practical and comfortable.
I don't know how many of the 209k miles I put on but all were enjoyed.

I have a standing conference call that interferes with the MGS call.
I've got to figure out a way to move the work call

So sorry to hear of your loss, my sincere condolences. My older brother passed away suddenly 3 years this last February, it was quite a shock.
