The Good Morning Thread

[Triple_Putt]

Morning all! Been an extremely busy couple of days, have not been able to play golf for 7 days… the longest I’ve gone so far this year…. Today that changes! Back on the course this afternoon, the sun is shining, and it’s going to warm up decently. Having some coffee and eggs, and actually got a fire going surprisingly. Have a fantastic day spies!

Morning All,

 

The plan was to get out this morning for a quick 9. With it being 43 degrees when I got to base, I’ll wait until this afternoon. It is supposed to be upper 60’s today. Anything below 50 and I feel like I can’t keep loose on the golf course. Which means I’m here on base at my normal time, but I have to face my irrational fear of dentists today as I have a cleaning. It’s a yearly occurrence, but it still doesn’t make it any less fear inducing. Just not a fan of someone rootin around in my mouth with a sharp metal object. Anyway, hope everyone has a great day.

Good morning and congrats to the testers!  These test opportunities are on point. So much good stuff out there.  

Found out last night my son has my strong hoarding tendencies.  His closet shelf ripped off the wall from "stuff" max overload.

At least 60 pounds of T-shirts, not to mention all the other clothes and life related collections.

My Spies, 

I am back from Bobby's summer home, so please be ready for some "hit 'em striaght" and some "BE THE BLESSINGS".  Loved the views up in the Highlands, the course at Sky Valley, and the Party, I mean wedding, that we made it too. I did however miss my little girl, way more then I thought I would. Can not wait until next month when we take the hike to Blue Ridge Mountains, looks like fun all the way around. I have was able to update my review on the Ghost Golf Bag. Whew, this bag is beautiful! Check out the our reviews and ask questions here: 

 

 

I hope yall have a great day! Hit 'em straight! Be The Blessings!

It's an okay morning here in the Mitten state -- rain last night, more after about 4:00 p.m., and Friday-Sunday look to be borderline, at best.  But, we'll find ways to stay amused.

Walked my first 18 of the season yesterday at the sister course of where I usually play.  Started out miserably but ended up playing okay.  Driver was averaging 5-10 yards longer than usual but iron play was inconsistent.  And don't get me started on my putting.  I'll get 9-holes in today at my home course today to see about getting a better handle on irons/putter.

Before that, however, getting an estimate on redoing one of the bathrooms -- yanking tub and installing walk-in shower.  Can't possibly run more than about $1,000.00 -- right?

Have a great day, y'all!

Good Morning Spies,

Hope you are all having a good Tuesday. Nice right now but rain later so maybe some sim time after work. Congrats to the testers, I was REALLY hoping against hope on that Smoke test, but such limited numbers comparatively makes for tough decisions. Great job on getting these tests to the people running the site. 

Cheers and hit em straight if you can

Good morning MGS’ers and happy Tuesday!

First baseball practice last night went pretty well I think. Had a couple kids who will have a hard time listening but that’s ok, we can work on that. All the boys had fun and there’s a couple kids who are pretty darn good haha. 

Had another fitness article post on the main site yesterday, this one on core strength, and I’d appreciate if you take the time to check it out and leave a comment!

make sure you get a good, fair contractor, maybe a couple estimates also. I just updated mine doing the work myself and we still spent just over 1000 for all materials and fixtures

I hate dentists, since I was a kid, I tried to escape from one when I was 5 or 6 and the older gentlemen drug me back into the chair and strapped me in. haven't like them since

Good morning fellow Spies! Beautiful morning here in Maryland! A bit chilly, but it's supposed to warm up to the mid 60's. Nice hot cup of Earl Grey hitting the spot and pushing back the chill!

No course play until tomorrow night: League play! Was able to get home early after work, the better half asked me where I was and I got caught out on the home range.... 

Got in about an hour and a half of iron work, will work the driver today at lunch if time permits. Finally got the email from L.A.B. about fitting.... really psyched to get working with that incredible putter! I hope golf figures into your day somehow, hit 'em straight MGS Nation!!

Good Tuesday morning to you! 

Trying to get my poop in a group, but it’s not happening. Los poopies are running wild!

It does make for a great morning to see los poopies so happy! Oncologist was awesome yesterday and the spousal unit is happy with her. Never look back only forward…we have a good team of doctors assembled. Positive energy out in the universe!

I hope to get some golf in this week. Probably tomorrow, but you never know. Hope all is well for you and yours! Happy birdie hunting! Have a blessed Tuesday!

[PrismFlopper]

Been raining consistently for the past like 3 weeks in the NE. Looking like its going to be a good week to go pin hunting! A little chilly but means we wont break a sweat walking the course. Already have 2 rounds booked this week. Lets go!

[bens197]

Good Morning from WNY…sunny skies and we’re trending towards the good golf weather.  Had a great round yesterday running the S159 through the gamut…I had a lot of fun out there.

I was super pleased to see some great dudes get selected for Callaway AI and Autoflex testing…

Congrats especially to some great dudes I’ve been lucky to get to know over the years… @Berg Ryman @EasyPutter

@chisag & @KC Golf 

Have fun out there fellas

It's taco Tuesday.  Making spicy chipotle venison sausage tacos tonight.  Gonna hit the driving range after work and try and straighten out my driver before league starts Thursday.  The coffee is hot and black. 

Life is good.

Good morning, fellow Spies!  Today, I am different type of sub as I fill in for a friend in the Tuesday league at our course.  I need to redeem myself after a poor iron striking round on Saturday in a 4 person scramble tournament.  

 

 

[ZoonORama]

Good morning everyone!

Sunny  here today in Ohio - was chilly  last night for the league. Been doing better but for some reason my right hand has started hurting and my fingers are swollen in the morning. Painful. Hoping it goes away. Having trouble really gripping stuff.

Today is National Take a Chance Day (amongst other days) like National Talk Like Shakespeare Day. So, whilst out on green spans of grief, thy should taketh a stronger iron to vanquish the distance spawned. Be forthright in plan and daring in deed on this day of glory. Fear not that which quenches, for a wooden 5 shall carry such meandering hazards and bring forth pleasurable pitches. - in other words, go for it.

Have a wonderful week all!

Cheers!

Top of the pot spies .  We're up early to head off to see the Grand Canyon for the first time. Need to drop River off at the dog sitter, pack the car, and all that stuff (wife seems to pack the house no matter where we go or for how long) .  Still haven't decided if I'm going to go onto the "glass bottom" lookout... definitely know my wife is not.  

Have a great Tuesday whatever is in your schedule.

[MattWillGolf]

Good morning Spies,

It’s a beautiful sunny morning in CNY. Cuppa is going down nicely as I have a tee time this morning. Yesterday’s 9 led to my best day with the driver in years. Only 1 3-putt. The L.AB. Golf DF3 test is getting more real as the folks at L.AB. Golf asked for my putter build. I went with orange, heavier and a BGT Stability ONE shaft.

The announcement of new testers today brought a smile to my face as I saw so many familiar faces from our Good Morning Thread. I feel like an Academy Award winner. So many to name for fear of leaving one out.

My amazing wife had another appointment with the wound care doctor who very pleased with her progress.

Wishing all a wonderful day!
