Impromptu poll: What 5 balls that have a decent alignment marking should I test with the 9000?

The Srixon Soft Feel, and most if not all of the other Srixon balls, also have a stripe that is useful for alignment (see below); in getting it personalized at golfballs.com, the alignment stripe is mainly my last name.

Good morning! Very cold morning here in Branson! We again need to stick to indoor activities. Started at the Butterfly palace and then move on to a tour of the Table Rock Dam. Both were very interesting! 

Now we’re hoping the kids take a nice nap before we all go to the Sight and Sound show: Esther! 
 

Also, today is my birthday and I’m happy to report I got some golf stuff!

Have a good day everyone!

Happy Birthday @jbern

And when I have visited Branson, not only have we always made it to the Butterfly Palace, we usually stay at a place not too far from it, and can see it from that location quite easily.

Hope the weather improves, and you can get more outdoor activities crossed off your list.

Whaaaaatt? I would go to the dentist more for a goodie bag like that. Of course, I would need to go once a week because the balls would be in the woods, but it would be great advertising for your dentist. 

He encourages me to spray the balls around specifically for the advertising angle.  Tees are new — literally came into his office yesterday.

When your morning starts with a trip to the dentist but then he reminds you that he's a golfer, too!

Now THAT is a dentist visit I wouldn't mind making more than once every 6 months!

My wife is attending a Blackhawks game tonight for work,

Rough job assignment! When I was working in Texas, I had equipment reps take me to hockey games and out deep sea fishing. Within a couple of years they had made stuff like that illegal for state employees, which I was.

Afternoon MGS!

I didn't post yesterday b/c work sucked the life out of me and by the time I was free I didn't want to touch a keyboard. Today by contrast was mucho better! I will share that I got to the range on Sunday to work on my fundamentals and hit every club in my bag to see if I could translate the work I been doing into each. I was very pleased with my irons!

I am very much looking forward to Masters week ....its only 2 short weeks away.

Cheers everyone!

@jbern happy birthday! 

@TJ Hall, I hope you get to feeling better. The flu is no joke, so take care of yourself. 

@Kenny B, I hope everything is alright with Martha.

Thank you @sirchunksalot…feeling better this evening, still not 100%.  Felt like complete crap yesterday…medicine, fluids and rest go a long way!

I feel bad for my wife, she has had to take care of everything the last couple of days.  She is wonderful!

Happy Birthday!!  Sounds like you are having a lot of fun.

Love True shoes!!  Don’t wear any currently, but will be looking at them later this year.  I still have their original “clown” shoes!!

@RockerFCC just wondering how your SIM business facility is doing?

Hopefully you have a lot of people in an utilizing it.

More curious than anything, and I will be in that area mid summer and may stop in.

That would be awesome, would love to see some people from here stop in. Anyone on the site who is in the north chicago area, we are in Highwood, just let me know and you are welcome to take the place for a spin.

We are doing well, been open a month and we have 17 members, about half what we max out at and looks like another from a trial today may sign up. Will see how things go over the summer, it is the slow time for this. Everyone who comes in loves the place. 

Cheers

Good morning everyone!

It's a pretty nice morning here after some rain yesterday. I'm just arriving at work and drinking a little coffee trying to wake up. I have busy evenings this week and that throws off my routine a little bit. 

At least it's hump day, which I'm having a hard time remembering because I was off Monday. Right now I'm planning on playing after work tomorrow and getting one more round in at Bear Trace before the summer rates kick in. 

I hope you all have a great day!

[rkj427]

Good morning Spies on a cloudy and cool mid-week morning here in the Motor City.

Normal into the work facility day for me with some inspection work to be completed today. If I get that all wrapped up today, I may be able to have a no commute Thursday, and that would be OK with me.

A lot of preparation going on in the downtown area of Detroit for the upcoming NFL Draft, and although cool to see events showcasing Detroit, it also creates traffic nightmares for those working around the area too.

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

Good morning all!

Another fine day yesterday with more playing in the snow for the kids and more working on building reports for me. I also got our storage closet cleaned up at least a bit as it was in really rough shape. Today will more more of the same, though a few less meetings which always improves the day.

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

[Josh Parker]

Good morning!

Up early and getting a few things done while the house is quiet.  Have a handful of projects to walk and price out for the part time gig and a new listing that needs photos.  

Going to head to the range this afternoon and work thru this driver swing and see if I can get it dialed in.  

Hope everyone has a great day!

[ParFore74x]

Good morning spies! Happy to say that there is no snow or rain in today’s forecast although temperatures will struggle to get to 40. Should get into the 50s starting tomorrow and stay there for a while. Might even get some range time or even play around this weekend!

Have a wonderful day everybody! ️ 

 

[EasyPutter]

Good morning MGSpies from it might be really springtime in WNY this last Wednesday in March as forecast is missing references to "Buffalo Sunshine"  The day yesterday got away from me and I still have 3 pages of this thread to catch up on plus whatever else everyone has been adding to other threads - dentist appointment midday so might just have an opportunity!  I will report on my excellent checkup after it happens.  With the promise of golf looking favorable, hope golf is a part of your day!

Good morning everyone. It’s another cold wake up and a few more of these on the horizon. It does look like April is going be much more spring like though so lots of range time in my near future. My Ghost bag is supposed to arrive today. For some reason UPS wouldn’t let me change to delivery location to the nearest UPS store like I do with all my other packages so hoping my mother in law can swing by and pick it up for me. Don’t want this sitting on my porch any longer than necessary. Not much golf on the horizon other than working on putting at home. Hope some of you have some better weather and can hit the links!

[MattWillGolf]

Good morning Spies,

Up earlier than my normal. We have a Foster dog. A 4 year old Pittie named Maisie. She isn’t the bundle of energy that Dottie was, Be she is a sweetheart who loves to snuggle. She is joining me for my morning cuppa.

Appears Spring has arrived in CNY. It’s a nice 50 degrees outside. My coach assigned a short run today. It’s my easy week. Those are always welcome. I signed up for another 5k. It’s in June. I will be on the look out for more races.

Wishing all a wonderful day!

[JAYER38]

Good morning MGS!!

Am I the only 1 that enjoys waking up early to a quiet house, relax on the couch with a cup of coffee and in the dark for the most part? Maybe have the pup and my sleeping newborn with me? Do this everyday just to get started before I head off to work.

Hope everyone has a great day. On my 2nd small cup of coffee waiting for the rain to roll in sadly. Hopefully it clears out for a nice weekend full of golf so I can work on a few things as I swear indoors is never the same!

Morning All,

Looks like there will be no range day today or tomorrow since it is going to rain pretty much when I get off today until after I get off work tomorrow. Tomorrow I have to take the watch and I’ll hold that for the weekend. That’s not terrible since I’ll be able to go home tomorrow after my watch. I’ll just have to have the phone with me all weekend. Hopefully no one calls. Anyway, hope everyone has a great Wednesday.

GM!! Woke up wanting to go back to bed weather in Kentucky does not want to change, windy and wet morning. Daughter made me some Puertorrican coffee so that should help me. Getting ready for this short week as the Army Reserve gave us a 4-Day for Spring Holiday

Enjoy your day fellas

Do tell on the Puerto Rican coffee. I’ve experienced Cuban coffee on a business trip to Miami. ️

Good Morning Spies,

Doing some vocals today at a great recording studio up north of Milwaukee, Cherry Pit Studios. We did our last recording and it cam out great, even got a few sync on some television shows. The owner is a fantastic engineer producer so it's great working with him. This and golf are what keep me energized so looking forward to it. Hope you all have a great Wednesday and can get out and play today! 

Cheers and hit em straight if you can

Good Morning everyone!!  It’s 39º but will be sunny and 64º later.  Today I’m headed to Home Depot for fertilizer and bermuda crabgrass killer.   This afternoon my wife heads to cardiology to receive a heart monitor that she has to wear for at least two weeks; monitoring for an irregular heart beat.  I hope she’s not catching what I had!!  

Best wishes for a great day!!  

Best wishes for your good lady. Sending prayers

Morning spies! Up and at em on this chilly morning. Fire and coffee are going. Looks like the rain is going to hold off for me to at least walk 9 today! Going to clean up the house a touch then head out! Have a great day everyone!

Goood morning Friends, 

This morning is a morning that I dreaded the alarm clock at 5 am, but here we are at work an hour and 37 mins later. Going to be here for a little be before heading home to telework the rest of the day. Hoping to take my lunch break on the way home to walk 9 holes on the short course and try out my new Shot Scope X5 watch with Data Tracking, and then after work will end up at a range to put in some more work chipping. Lets go conquer today and all that it throws at us. We are capable if we follow the process that was laid out by those before. Hit 'em striaght. Bet you know what is coming next... "BE THE BLESSING"! 

[Cfhandyman]

Good morning to all and happy Wednesday. Sun is out, enjoying my morning coffee.  Golf courses opening soon. Yeah. Today’s aha moment, when you love or need your coffee.  Have a great day.
