The Good Morning Thread

[Cfhandyman]

Good morning to all on a beautiful long weekend. Coffee is made and I’m enjoying my first cup as I catch up on the various threads. Off to pickleball later this morning and then some time on the simulator this afternoon. Have a great day.

Good Morning! 
 

Tee off this morning at 9:25, looks like 40 and steady rain the entire time. We are just going to embrace it and pretend we are in Brandon or Scotland. This afternoon some Easter festivities and then watching some Elite 8.

Good morning everyone! 

I'm enjoying some coffee and trying to get energized for the day ahead. I think the wife wants to run some errands later and we'll get to hang out for a bit.

I know I'm starting to anticipate the Kingsmill outing as I was dreaming about it last night. At least there's only about 60 more days to go before we all tee it up together. 

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I've started to think about what shirts I should have or bring... Hmmm may need to do some shopping

Good morn all!
rain due here but maybe not wind. 

If the stars align, I'll get to test the umbrella holder on my push cart while enjoying an uncrowded course.

[Preeway]

Good morning everyone. Not a lot planned today. Have a caddy meeting this morning at 9:30 and work at the bar later today at 5:00. Rest of the day will be spent watching soccer and getting ready for tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great day ahead!

Grab the coffee, hit the hot tub and music on the ear buds.  

All good, but avoid the coffee if you have "hyper anticipation" and trouble sleeping.

I know the feeling Jamie, every time I get out in town I'm looking at new stuff that might be good for the trip.

Good morning friends.

I hope everyone is gearing up for a good weekend.

I got up early and took my son for breakfast.

This was our sunrise on the way back home.

We are supposed to get a little bit of rain and maybe snow flakes, but still a good day so far.

Good morning all! Little one got up at 5, wife wasn’t thrilled so I got up with her! I’m ok with it, I love watching the sun come up over Tims Ford Lake! Going to play Bear Trace with my FIL at 9, looking forward to that! Hope y’all have a blessed day! Be the BLESSING!

[cksurfdude]

And a very good morning to you!!

Played a cudda been better 9 yesterday afternoon. Can't blame it on the temp nor the wind .. just a little off... Here's how too many holes went tee to green: right, chunk, top.

So maybe a little range time today?

Hope everyone is doing well today .. and for those who've had rough patches hope today is better .. go out and have a great day!! 

[StrokerAce]

Whew, I wish they would stop starting these basketball games so late. Im not a night owl and it hits hard in the morning. Just gotta push through 

great to wake up to sun and birds singing again 

looks like I won’t be building my irons this weekend. Good ole reliable usps haha

plenty of yard work waiting for me anyway

[Triple_Putt]

Morning all on this cold, windy, sunny morning. Have the coffee and a fire going, going to make some eggs. Work at noon today so just going to veg out till then. Have a fantastic day everyone!

[Wheelieb]

Morning All,

 

If you are in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, I’ve got some news for you. And I think it’s a great thing as well. I’ll post the story below, but my thoughts are hoping they add lights so when it’s summer time or warm enough we could play. Anyway, in Williamsburg they are  holding a 9 hole par 3 course on the former Spotswood course. They will call it “The Shoe” I think this is great as it will help everyone dial their iron play in, and be a quick round.  I’m excited for it. Link below has the story.

Morning fellow spies! Woke up to frost on the ground, but temps should hit mid 60s today. Hoping to get in a quick 9 today to play around with the new Arccos set I got. Most of my weekend will be filled with little girl birthday activities as my daughter turns 7. 

Hope everyone has an amazing weekend. It’s almost Masters time!

[Beach life]

Well I have not had my coffee but need some soon.  My favorite course here does not open till 4/1, west side of michigan.  So, I am sitting here thinking of cleaning my clubs and getting ready to go play.  I really can't wait but I might need warmer gear.

[ParFore74x]

Good morning spies! Teeing off at 7:10, talk to you later. 

[MattWillGolf]

Good morning Spies,

Uppa with a cuppa. It’s a bit cold and windy in CNY. I will get a run in. My wife is slowly feeling better. She felt a bit wiped yesterday. The kindness of this forum is truly appreciated. Blessed.
A day of errands in preparation for hosting Easter dinner. A chocolate cream pie to pick up. My wife’s favorite. I will have extra KP duty tomorrow. Potato peeling is at the top of list. 
We got look through the photos from our son’s wedding. One in particular stands out. The father of the groom busted out “The Sprinkler” on the dance floor.

Wishing all a wonderful day!

Glad the lady of the house is on the mend… May you and the family enjoy a restful, healing, and happy holiday weekend.

Good morning Spies! Not a pleasant Friday afternoon at the Casa, enlivened only slightly when my Hogs walked off LSU in the 10th inning. Don't want to get into details of yesterday's misadventures, only to say I don't want to repeat them. It's a beautiful morning here in ILM. Suspect I will be hitting the sim later today along with my workout. Easter Sunday brings another road trip for work, but only two nights, or maybe just one, TBD.

@MattWillGolf glad your wife is improving.

[Hacker60521]

Morning All. Nice easy start to the day after some big thunderstorms last night. A few things on the calendar for the day but I’ll find some range time to work on driver, fairway woods, and hybrids. 

[Dead Solid Bogey]

Good morning to my fellow spies on this  Easter Saturday.
    I made it to the work location without any abnormal problems from the hands or wrists. They still hurt but no major cramping or locking up. 
    Work from  my side of things will be relatively simple. That and the fact that I have worked with these crews before should make the work stay fairly easy ( famous last words ). 
     The younger guy that I showed up for will probably not be back. I am told that he is from Mississippi and that his “ personal issue “ is a rather messy divorce situation. 
To paraphrase an old saying… “ A hurricane or divorce in Mississippi means somebody is losing or has already lost a double wide trailer. “
     Calling the young man from Mississippi situation a slight personal issue is par for the course with management. Understating the situation by “ Those People “ that run things is their go to upper management style. They would be all in in agreeing to the following description…. 

May this Easter Weekend bring you and yours joy, peace, and love   
   Break out those pastel colored golf outfits and Easter bonnet golf hats and ENJOY.

Good morniing Spies on a cool, cloudy, and hoping it is rain instead of flakes Saturday morning here in the Motor City area.

Much later start for me, but after a hectic and busy week, as well as time outdoors in the fresh air yesterday, all added up to a needed longer sleep.

Played yesterday, and the course was jam packed, so @ZJeb67 I hope that you don't run into a similar situation today.

@MattWillGolf glad to hear that your wife is better today and wishing a complete and speedy recovery. PWS: Nice picture in your post too! 

My plans for today are to help with preparations for Easter church services and dinner afterwards with my children and grandson.

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

The emotional support ween wanted to say good morning. Who am I to deny a ween?

Good morning spies! Had a fun round yesterday playing with a 5 man team.  Scored 1 on the par 5s, 3 on par 3, and 4 on the par 4s. Handicaps were spread nicely with a 5, an 8, a 14, 15, and 25. We ham and egged it all the way around only loosing 2 strokes on our way to finish at 19 under par. This score was the best on the day by 6 strokes and put a few dollars back in our pockets. The course was fast and dry yesterday which allowed for some massive drives from a crew of old guys. I heard the statement "This is the first time I have been on this green in 2 (or 3 depending on the hole) in years" and that made it fun. I don't care how old you are, a big drive down the middle will puff out your chest and make you walk a little taller for a few steps. 

The Rockies are in town so the wife and I will spend a rainy Easter Sunday at the ballpark in Phoenix.

Hope everyone has a fun, safe Easter tomorrow.

So… how many under par did you shoot?

Save some room in your luggage for shirts from the clubhouse with their logos on them.

Good morning all! Shaping up to be a nice weekend here, cool but nice.  

I see the dreaded "snow" word on the forecast for next week, which is so beyond dumb at this point... so let's just not and say we did.

 

Hope you all have a good weekend!  No round on the docket for me, but hopefully a trip to the range!

Have fun today!!  Loved playing Bear Trace at Cumberland Mountain when I was still working in TN.
