The Good Morning Thread

[rkj427]

Good morning Spies on a cool and wet Friday morning here in the Motor City.

At work and will be another long day here for me, but those will be ending shortly.

Supposed to be colder and cloudy on Saturday, so I may head to Carl's for their range facilities rather than the one closer to the house.

Sunny on Sunday and about 50 degrees, so I will get a round in then.

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

Good morning spies and TGIF! Not much to report here, day of work followed by an away soccer match for my daughter. It will be a long day but totally worth it.

My local golf retailer has their Spring Tent Sale this weekend so I’ll have to be sure to stop in and see if I NEED anything. I’d like to find a new pair of shoes and maybe some Vice Pro balls depending on what deals they have. Also need to look at hybrids for my wife. There, I have my shopping list ready  

Have a great day spies!

Good Friday morning to one and all, been one of those days so far , awoke at 2:55 and couldn’t capture sleep again so it’s away we go ! 7:30 tee time , my blessed wife’s birthday today so it’s a full day culminating in dinner tonight at her choice. May you all have a super day , be blessed and kind !

Good morning all!

Was cool and cloudy yesterday, but thankfully today should be a bit warmer as I get to out for my first round this afternoon. Also my brother-in-law should be stopping in today which was a nice surprise to find out about. He is usually pretty busy and lives about 2.5 hours away so visiting can be tough. Looking forward to a nice weekend, hopefully with some relaxation.

Have a great Friday and weekend everyone!

Morning one and all...still rainy and cool here in Ottawa. Today is hopefully "fix Jean's measuring mistake while putting up the projector for the sim" day.  When measuring for projector placement, I *may* have forgotten to measure my driver swing...and finding out I come to withing 2" of the projector when I swing the boom stick. The result: moving the projector 3' closer to the screen today, just to be safe. 14'. With my best friend in a ladder (I have vertigo). But dang if GSPro + Optoma GT2100HDR + Carl's Premium hitting screen combo look incredible!

Good morning MGSpies from the calm before the rains start again early on this Friday in WNY where the coffee is almost ready and work computer is going onto the network from the zero commute to underground central  where I'm having the same kind of start Jason @sirchunksalot had and I don't know why the delay in getting started either, but community call was awesome yesterday with holes 3 through 9 shared from my phone camera (just not so good on keeping up with all of the discussion but I manage) and today I'm going to have a new experience getting a club fitting, heard lots about them but my first so  hold me down!!  Hope golf is a part of your day too!

Good morning and Happy Friday Spies!

Taking off today and heading to camp with my wife (and no kiddos) for our anniversary. Looking forward to a quiet and relaxing weekend with her - hopefully avoiding technology as much as possible.  Should be a beautiful weekend in the 60s here in Georgia. 

Have a great Friday and weekend everyone!

[Josh Parker]

Good Friday morning!

Working on some things at home today while we have a giant hole in the house.  Door is being installed for the new deck and the rest of the family is heading to SandFest.  Sucks I don't get to go, but we are all super excited about the new deck and family time we will spend on it. 

Rain forecasted all weekend so we will see if the weatherman is right.  

Have a great day and hopefully golf is in your forecast. 

[Dead Solid Bogey]

Good morning my spies… It is Friday the departure day to hopefully a destination weekend ahead for you all. 
  Busy day for me yesterday. Got to play Randy Radical and rage at the man… The Tax Man… As we all know there is very limited positivity in having me live in my subdivision… I only come in handy to the neighborhood twice a year.. Yesterday was one of those times. The reappraisal people hit the neighborhood only to find me outside on my lawn shaking my fist at the sky and losing an argument with myself. Pretty sure that was quite possibly the deciding factor in pushing the tax people to decided in favor of the tax protest filed by myself and some neighbors…. We will see what the decision on my protest is today. 
   In other news of the day; the wife person wants to leave today for our “ couple’s special time “ I was under the impression this was only suppose to be ONE day of hell. Evidently, her high highness has some side excursions planned before going to the big event.. By all that is merciful, hoping I am able to survive and join you all on Sunday evening. If not, take care of yourselves and remember…..Perspective my friends, perspective……

edited to add: Good luck to @EnderinAZ with the medical procedure.

Good morning everyone and TGIF. Busy weekend ahead looping at Arbor Links. Very much looking forward to getting back in the grind of running the golf course on the weekends. Hope everyone has a great weekend planned ahead! 

[Wheelieb]

Morning All,

 

Drinking some coffee and eating some breakfast this morning. Here in about 30 minutes I start my prep for my cat scan on my stomach and pelvis. I’ll probably going o tell me I am full of…all jokes aside, in Florida I was told I had diverticulosis. The docs here said the symptoms don’t point towards that at all. Like not even close. So away we go for that adventure. Later we are getting mulch for our house to help with numerous projects around the property. Hope everyone has a great day.

Happy Friday!  I've been awake since 3 am as well. No tee times for me today 
Coffee onboarding is starting to clear away the brain cobwebs.  
Lot of rain last night, local courses might be really soggy for a Saturday early quick 9 (before chorin')

Afternoon all.

Busy, rainy morning. Had a second breakfast, and I’m still hungry.  

Yesterday was a big open sky.

Have a good one!

[Cfhandyman]

A good morning to all this Friday morning. Enjoying my espresso catching up to all the posts. Golf later today the rain gods be willing. 
@CFreddie happy anniversary 
@Josh Parker new deck looks good

@EasyPutter some of us were just a wee bit jealous of you golfing during the community call. Well done.

@Jean D love your new setup, but yes don’t take out your projector with your driver.

@Dead Solid Bogey keep your deadly sense of humour coming.  Enjoyed by many. 

Message of the day

Working from home today, little one came down with strept…again!

Have a tee time tomorrow morning I’m looking forward to.

Hope everyone has a good day!

TGIF!!!

Good Friday Morning Spies! 

Nice Central Florida morning, 65 degrees. It is supposed to reach a high of 92 degrees and sunny today.  Finishing first cup of espresso. 
No golf today, Ranger duties today. Should be busy given the good weather today! 
Good Community Call yesterday, thanks again Jamie! 

Have a Great Day Everyone! Hit’em Straight️

Good morning spies!

Up early-early and downing a coffee as we are set to hit the road for a 'quick' Vegas turnaround. It is the Fiancé's aunts birthday so we are going to pick her up and bring her back for the weekend. Another member of her family is supposed to take her back Monday and I am hoping they don't back out because I reallyyyyy hate this drive through vast nothingness.

So with that I am off on another 10 hour adventure where the road will claim my soul. I hope you all enjoy the start to your weekends and may the cards be flush in your decks this weekend! (I don't even like gambling )

[tdc1]

Good morning!

More rain last night but looking better this morning.  High temp going to be in the 50s but sunny.  And windy.

I used to play a lot with a single-figure hcp who would not play if the winds got above about 15 mpn ("Even the pros won't play or practice in this wind!").  Got to thinking about that this morning and wondering how y'all feel about it.  What is your wind cutoff, either sustained or gusts?

Have great day and fantastic weekend!

@buckpillar I hope they can get things figured out with your mother-in-law.

@RichL85 I'm sorry to hear about your father-in-law and I hope they can get him taken care of. 

@Cfhandyman, I'm almost through the TXG video and I have to say I'm enjoying the banter between you, Ian, and Mike. I am extremely jealous of your ball striking ability. 

Thank you Sir, I appreciate it 

[Northern Monkey]

Good morning spies, or afternoon as it is here now. Was up early so managed to get a round in, and what a round it was! I was gross 1 over after 9 and managed to finish 18 at 5 over. My best ever round. Could have been better but got stuck behind a few groups so was stood around waiting to play shots and lost my rhythm a bit. 
Only missed 1 fairway all day and the putter was on fire!

Hope you all have a great day and enjoy your weekend. Unfortunately for me I’m on duty all weekend

Best of luck getting your health situation sorted out @Wheelieb

Be sure to update your status here when results are in.

@EasyPutter have fun at the fitting, and I hope that it goes well for you.

Good morning, Spies!  It is golf therapy day for this old man and it is much needed after a busy week.

Good morning MGS crew and happy Friday! Heading out for Vortex HQ at 8am and gonna need ALL the caffeine. Our oldest came down with another cold and was coughing all night last night. Not much sleep for my wife and I. Hoping the little guy feels okay today. Still sleeping as of now. The boys were supposed to go to my parents house tonight for a sleepover as my wife and I both have work conferences tomorrow. She is leaving today and me very early tomorrow. But if he’s still not doing well, my dad is gonna crash with us tonight so they can sleep at home. He’s had pneumonia in the past and it’s always come on the heels of a cold, so overnights when he’s sick always make me leery. Fingers crossed he’s doing better today. 

Hope you all have a great day!

Great round, sounds like it was just one of those rounds where everything just goes right. Bottle it up quick if you can!

I've used their scopes hunting and shooting PRS for years.  

 

And Happy Friday everyone!!!!  My son's scout troop pancake breakfast is Sunday, so my weekend is basically shot, but for a good cause.  The kids will all make enough to do some fun high adventure stuff when it's all over!!!!

Best optics in the hunting industry IMO hands down. Unrivaled customer service and can’t beat the lifetime warranty!
