As a result, the Espresso machine is working overtime. Plan B is installing some pot lights in the basement or maybe heading to the indoor golf facility. Liking that much more. May everyone have a wonderful day. Welcome to the forum, @Jazzdrummer420 and @Jessica Adams I vote for indoor golf facility.... just saying lol, have a great day...

Found a drill that will now be a daily ritual of setting a tee just outside the toe and inside the heel of my club and swinging through the gate without hitting either tee. By the end of the night last night I had made very good progress from when I started. Glad to hear you have some progress, keep working it!

Popular Post Jim Shaw Posted April 17 Popular Post Share Posted April 17 Good morning spy's, Interesting day yesterday, we volunteered to take our 9 year old twins on a field trip, this included public transit to and from the event. If there are any elementary teachers on this site, I send out my sincere condolences lol, just kidding, you have a big job and need lots of energy to keep up with those kids... Today the weather is spectacular in victoria, chilly this morning 1 degree celcius but by the time I tee off at noon should be a balmy 11-12... competitions are getting closer, interclub April 23rd, then Island Open April 27-28 (usually the 1st. tournament of the year for me) I get a big anxious around 7-10 days prior to the events just wondering if I am ready to perform etc. but I had a good session with my sports psychologist and have it figured out... Just my DNA and I have to "trick" it... Anyway, hope everyone's day is great....

Popular Post Shrek74 Posted April 17 Popular Post Share Posted April 17 Good morning, Spies. Happy Hump Day!! There is a demo day here today, but the weather doesn't look like it's going to cooperate. The demo day is 10am-2pm, but rain is supposed to start at 10am. Ugh, I was really hoping to try a few irons today so I can narrow down the options for my fitting next month. We'll see how much rain actually comes before I make the call to go or not. There's a bigger demo day on the 4th in Knoxville that I'm going to, so I do have a secondary plan, but I'd still love to try a few things today. Anyway, nothing else to report today. Just work as normal.

The biggest snippet was my hitting angle is too steep causing a lot of toe hits. My takeaway angle was "beautiful" according to the video and the pro, and looking at the video, he was right.

Popular Post William P Posted April 17 Popular Post Share Posted April 17 Good Wednesday morning Spies! It is shaping up to be a grossly high humidity day warming up to near 80. Hoping to get a range session in today but will have to make it early to avoid melt down conditions later. It appears my penance for ordering the V5 has been finally paid, after yesterday's onslaught by her highness to redistribute my finances. She has decided I need a dose of my own communication/listening failure and is not sharing the total compensation package... In other words, she has no idea how much she spent but I should consider myself fortunate as she bought it all on sale and saved me lots of money... I'm sure she feels fully vindicated by the smug smile and side eye glance I got when I asked what the damages were... @Dead Solid Bogey Hope you can get ahead of the princess's sudden urge to repurpose your archived tools of the trade and possibly locate a secret storage facility to secure them... Enjoy your day everyone and hit 'em straight if you get the opportunity!

Popular Post EnderinAZ Posted April 17 Popular Post Share Posted April 17 Good morning spies! Well I get fixed on Friday. Surgery is scheduled for 9 am. Next we had the equipment for solar panel installation delivered just a few minutes ago. It will be installed tomorrow. Unlike Oregon, where if your panels produce enough power to push back into the grid you actually get paid the same rate at which the power company sells the power to you, here in Mesa it is way different. Here SRP, my utility company, screws you over if you put panels up and produce power. SRP has it set up so if you produce a lot of power the power you have to buy goes up 2 and three times the regular rate and they pay less than 3 cents for power produced. In a desert state, with tons of sunshine this makes zero sense., Steve F, sirchunksalot, Cfhandyman and 14 others 10 7 Quote Driver Sim Max2 Hybrids G430 2, 3, 4 Irons ZX4 6-PW Wedges Hi-Toe 50, 54, 58 Putter 2Ball Ten ArmLock Golf cart MGI Zip Navigator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Byrnzee Posted April 17 Popular Post Share Posted April 17 Good morning Spies! Another pretty nice day in Chicago as temps remain in the mid to high 60s. I wasn't able to get out to the range last night as I hoped, but we'll see about today. We're supposed to get high winds, which may make a range session less enjoyable. Really looking forward to both the RBC Heritage and the Chevron Championship this weekend. Both great events and rooting for Nelly to make it 5 in a row to continue her historic streak! Been a pretty chill workweek so far, so I'm hoping that continues!

Popular Post ILMgolfnut Posted April 17 Popular Post Share Posted April 17 (edited) Heard this on PGA Tour Radio on Monday and forgot to mention it here: Every year at the Masters, they have a media lottery and a few of the credentialed media (there are 20 winners) covering the tournament get to play ANGC on the Monday after the tournament. A good friend of mine once won that lottery for which he has my permanent envy. Same was the case this year. One of the lottery winners was one Julia Westerman, a TV sports anchor in Columbia, SC. She got to play the course on Monday. Here's the catch: Julia HAD NEVER PLAYED A ROUND OF GOLF BEFORE. Her first lifetime round was at ANGC. Where do you go from there? Somehow your Columbia munis, or even the plushest country club in town, would be about five steps down. What do you think a noob hacker would shoot at ANGC? My guess is she didn't break 200. EDIT: A reply on her Xwitter thread says she shot 129; she neither denied or confirmed it. The only detail she provided was that she bogeyed #7, just like Scottie. They play from the members tees, which apparently are about 6300 yards. Edited April 17 by ILMgolfnut William P, Rob Person, jbern and 8 others 10 1 Quote Obsessed with chasing the dimpled orb.

Each of the 17 sections has a slightly different focus and mine is the Western NY PGA Section covering an area that stretches from Erie PA to Rochester NY and from northern PA to Lake Ontario, a rather large piece of NY State on the western end and northwestern PA. Pay attention to the threads and use the search function, there are places in the forum that do look at courses wherever MGS Forum posters live, which really is worldwide. If your Section offers something called Down Range Days, it is a follow on program to HOPE for HOPE graduates and it needs to be well used by graduates or it could be pulled back by National for lack of perceived need as it was piloted here and we could not get more than a 50% response to fill available "free golf" tees, believe it or not. Hope your area does better with retaining graduates for additional free golf experiences.

Their products are truly special and while this test may be a little extra work for the testers, but it will also a lot of fun for the membership to follow as they will also be tied in as part of it. Should be a lot of fun! ejgaudette, arodrig29, Wheelieb and 18 others 11 4 2 4 Quote as of Nov 6, 2023 (Past WITB) Driver: Paradym TD w/ GD ADDI 6X Driver Shootout!
