That is truly awesome, and what a great gesture to give to a group of Vets!!

..but sheesh did you tell them to get somebody up the flagpole and spray a little WD40 on that top pulley

I should have, but we played on reduced rates and they’re very good to us.

Waaaaaaayyyyyy past morning, I know.  I hope everyone had a great day.  The official golf season in Michigan begins tomorrow so today was probably the last day until November 1 for the El Camino carry bag and half set of clubs.  The push cart and the rest of the clubs are coming out of hibernation!

Morning all, hope you had a great Easter. 
Another nice sunny start here today so hoping to get out for a round later

Good morning everyone!

It's a nice morning here with temps in the low 60's and I'm enjoying a cup of coffee getting ready for the work day. 

I got in an impromptu round yesterday where I played good and didn't score well. I lost four balls and couldn't chip to save my life and still shot a 54. The 4 hybrid was a beast yesterday, but I need to work on not turning it over and having it go left. 

The putter was the real star of the show, I had 16 putts and feel like it could have been better as I burned the edge on a couple of holes.

I hope you all have a wonderful start to your week!

Happy Monday morning!

Weekend was great and it's the start to a new week.  Fairly busy day and then some practice time this afternoon. 

Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning spies! Early start for me as I get back to the Monday grind. Into work at 5:00 this morning but that gets me off by 1:30 so I’m hoping to get to the range for a bit of outdoor chipping and putting practice.

Have a great day spies. 

[Woodrow72]

Good Monday morning to all! Today will be the second round with my Edel , hoping for good results and feedback . Hope to have some results to report . My better half flies out fir a week this afternoon so I’ll have some good test time this week to log some comparison info . May each of you have brilliant days and be blessed and kind .

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

Cloudy and cool, with a chance of rain most weekdays this week, so hoping to get to the range on Saturday, and a round in on Sunday as both those days look to be sunny and at least 50 degrees.

April 1, so not only is it April Fools Day, but I only have 22 Monday - Friday working days left to go. Exciting times, but also chaotic, as with no replacement yet, I still have a lot to do, and want to make sure that I have done all that I could to see them succeed further.

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

Good morning MGS! Got through a pretty rough work weekend,  but made it to my off day unscathed!  Golf is the plan for today! Hoping for an hour+ of range time,  then off to play 18. Been almost 2 weeks since I've played and hoping I can return to my previous new found habits! Back yard practice is great, but no way to read ball flights and heights.

Have a great day. Off to catch up on reading 74 notifications!  

[EasyPutter]

Good morning MGSpies from a still dark not too cold WNY on this Monday April 1st with a personal countdown of 14 days until my local course is to open for the season   Coffee is almost ready and the work computer is going onto the network for another zero commute workday.  
Great day yesterday with the whole family for dinner + daughter's boyfriend, plenty of sunshine all day, and relaxing peaceful time in the evening.  It is good to read about everyone's golf season starting to gain traction. 
Hope golf is a part of your day!

Good morning and happy Monday everyone! Up and at em early this morning by getting a workout in. Starting a new workout plan this week, so I am hoping that I can get into a new routine of keeping myself in better shape. 

Should be an easy week of work this week as it is only a four day week with students. The school year is quickly counting down, so I've got to make the most of these last 9 or 10 weeks. I'm counting down to all of the golf I will be able to play this summer... can't wait!

Let's all have a miraculous Monday!

[Preeway]

Good morning everyone. Kind of a slow week in store for a change. Soccer season has started and I’m hooked again into coaching at school. No after school round this spring but still plenty of time to hit the practice green after work. Opportunities to loop are popping up now that both private courses have officially set their opening day as Apr 5. Looking forward to a busy looping season. Hope everyone has a great day ahead!

Good morning all, 

I start a new job today and the temps will be in the high 60’s. Mondays don’t have to suck.

[cksurfdude]

What craziness is this - April Fools on a Monday??!!?? 

Hahaha good morning everyone and hope you all have a prank-free .. or prank-filled if that's what you're into .. day!

So feeling it a little bit this morning after playing 9 yesterday afternoon. I've been working to get into better shape but I guess the old aches and pains are still gonna be there

Today's agenda includes some home fix-it projects and the always exciting bill paying

Well have a good one all!!

Congrats on the new job, @GolfSpy_BEN. Hope the first goes smoothly!

It’s been 2 months since I have swung a golf club and the surgeon said today was the day I could go back to full activity.   Unfortunately, my car is in the shop for annual state inspection and a few other things so no golf today.   Was hoping to go to MGS HQ and hit a few balls before actually hitting the course or driving range but my golf league team is short handed and I may need to play tomorrow.   To be honest, I am a bit apprehensive about swinging again and  wondering if the surgery actually fixed my issue.   

[Samuel09152]

Goodmorning yall! Today is a gonna be a fun day! Range opens at 9:30, so plan on being there at that time. Round starts at 11, I got the first tee and am in the first group. This should be some fun! I’m excited to see how a big tournament is put on, so here is to the barstool classic!

Hope the surgery worked; when will you know?  I’m sure that your swing will be fine, but short game might be a little rusty… my experience from long layoffs.

Good Morning everyone!!  Hope you have a memorable Monday and watch out for Jokesters!!   Warming up today with temp in the low 70’s and low 80’s tomorrow; don’t blink though because on Wednesday it will be back in the low 50’s!!  Just a teaser.

Today is a special day for my wife and I. It’s the anniversary of the day I proposed to her on the 1st tee of the golf course… well, I had to pick a date that I could remember, right?!!  She said “Yes", but the next day on the 1st tee she asked if I meant it.    On this anniversary we always play golf so we will be teeing off again at 9:28.  We got married a year and 3 weeks later, but that’s another story!!!

Good morning, Spies and happy April Fools Day!!

Not sure how bad it is when April Fools Day falls on a Monday.

DON'T TRUST ANYTHING!!

grand morning to you all.... that's it, I got nothin else.

just wanted to jump in and wish everyone a good morning.

[Wheelieb]

Morning All,

 

Today is the last day of my weekend. So I’m going to go and try and play 18 this morning. Not much else today on the agenda. Hope everyone has a good day. 

[ILMgolfnut]

Good morning, Spies! I'm in Raleigh again, which is going nuts this morning after both of NC State's basketball teams reached the Final Four. Must be nice... The NHL Hurricanes aren't doing too badly either. It's gonna be another mid-80s day around here. Will try to hit some balls after work, and perhaps a round tomorrow.

Congrats @GolfSpy_BEN!

Take it easy, @cnosil. Don't want to do too much too soon and create more damage.

[MattWillGolf]

Good morning Spies,

Up with a cuppa. It’s a cool and cloudy morning in CNY. I have a run workout on tap today. Still waiting for the home course opening email. Easter dinner went well. The ham was amazing. A good time was had. My wife baked a Sherry wine cake. It was a staple for me growing up. It was my Nonni’s recipe. She would send it to me in a care package when I was in the Army. My wife baked one and shipped it to our son when he was in Okinawa. 
My wife’s recovery is progressing well but she definitely misses not being able to swim. But pools are the worst place for healing wounds. She will take her Tri-bike in for its start of season tune up. My new driver is supposed to deliver on a Thursday according to FedEx.

Congratulations to @GolfSpy_BEN on your new job. Hope you have a great first day. (Is that the adult version of first day of school? )

Wishing all a wonderful day!

I’ll know when I start getting more active and see if I start having chest/upper abdominal pains and shortness of breath again.   That’s why I want do go hit some balls before I play.  Back in January I could only hit about 15-20 balls before it started.

Good morning los spies! Happy Monday! 

This morning had some chill in the air and on my way to work the water on my hood (or bonnet in UK talk) froze into a thin film of ice art. I thought it looked neat so I captured it for prosperity.

So looking at the weather last night today was supposed to be awesome here in Cheyenne. Well……..April Fools!!!!

Snow is now in the forecast. So no golf for me. (The weather man took a line right out of Seinfeld and said it.) Oh well, I’ll just go home after work. Anyway, I hope you all have a blessed day and happy April fools. Happy birdie hunting, Wyo out!
