The Good Morning Thread

[Tom the Golf Nut]

Good morning everyone.

Do you know what day it is. Don’t say Hump Day. No.it’s opening up the pool day. Pull off the cover and power wash it and let dry before storing it. Then starting up the pumps, vacuum and get the chemicals going. 
Sunny and getting close to 80* today. Perfect weather.

Good morning everyone and happy Wednesday. Replaced a couple grips last night. A task I haven’t done in 30+ years so I was a little nervous. I think it all turned out great so going to do the rest of the bag tomorrow after work. Hope everyone has a great day ahead. 

I regripped all of mine last week, less the putter. New grip day is a great day!

Good morning all, 

I appreciate all of your kind words. It truly means a lot to be part of a community that is as supportive as this one. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. 

Best,

Cory

Good morning! On the airplane, waiting to take off from DTW to FL! It wasn’t stress free getting here, but we’re all on the plane. Looking forward to the warmth! 
No golf on the trip (that was made clear by SWMBO), but it’s going to be fun!

 Have a good day everyone!

Enjoy Florida! Where abouts are you heading down to?

Have a magnificent hump day MGS!

Meanwhile in NH it is predicted to have lows of 26 and 25 the next two mornings. Plenty warm by afternoon but frosty starts

I texted that to GF. I suspect she would say every day with me is Gray Haired Grumpy Old Man Day.

I thought of this tee when I saw the grumpy pic. The spousal unit is always buying me awesome tees. Then I realized this tee didn’t have grumpy in it.

Good Wednesday morning! Workout logged and in the books, coffee made, and a full day of paperwork and bids slated. I hope everyone has a productive day - go get some and make it great!

Goodmorning all, I ask that you send a little prayer up for one of our dogs. It seems while we were away, he grew something on his ear, a bump that looks more like a tumor then a hematoma. He is a boxer so they are prone to these, I just dont have a good feeling about this. He happens to be my little girls favorite also... So really hoping it's nothing, and that the vet calls soon. Thank yall.

I hope yall have a great day! Hit 'em Straight! Be the Blessing!

Good Wednesday  Morning Spies! 

No golf today, Last night 1am airport run to pick up niece up duty,  couldn't get to sleep until 3am, too old to wake up for the 7am tee time . 

@CSiders12 very sorry for your family's loss!   Thoughts & Prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time! 

Working from home today, pouring 2nd cup of much-needed espresso.  Was looking to play a lot of golf while wife was away, but it's not happening, that's ok though, waiting for new irons & wedges to arrive. 

@ejgaudette great job on the drawing!  Your drawing is inspiring!

Have a Great Day Everyone! Hit'em straight

Thank you for the kind word. I feel I could clean things up a bit but that is always the way

I hate opening  the pool

Well my day went to crap. $6,200,00 for a new transmission. Then a 26 day lead time to get one delivered.

I drive by an old par 3 hole, almost every day and think about how the hole could be redone (improved).  But I haven't thought about putting the thought on paper. I like what you did.

Took the BMW to the repair shop, found out the idler pulley was making the whining sound the wife was hearing, They replaced it and out the door I went spending under 200.00

Happy Dance here, have a great day, going to roll out the new putting green and decide where I'm going to place the 3 holes on it.

Good Wednesday morning Spies!

Going to be a fair day with the wind laying down a bit. Day is filled with honey do tasks but can't complain to much as I will be taking a week off from them next week in Myrtle Beach...

@CSiders12 So sorry to hear of your loss. Thoughts and prayers with you and your family.

@Northern Monkey water leaks are the worst, hope you are able to make repairs quickly.

@sirchunksalot and @Tom the Golf Nut hope your vehicle issues come to a close soon.

Everyone have a great day!

Weather for this Saturday's golf round looking like warm with a chance of rain. I would like to hear other opinions on this, but would you rather golf in warm temperatures (high 70s) with a chance of rain, or cold temperatures (40s-50s) with no chance of rain? I think I'm choosing warm every time unless it's a downpour. Hoping I get lucky this weekend and we get warm with no rain (the best combo)!

Obviously, it depends on how high the chances of rain are . . .

But, if 0% and no/light wind, I’m perfectly happy walking my round in the 40s-50s.  I like the 70s as well but I don’t like weather hanging over my head like the sword of Damocles.

Good ( very late) morning one and all!  It's been a busy week and it's only Wednesday

Solved my projector issue (self-inflicted issue, to be fair) and now have the simulator fully ready. Hit some balls to calibrate the system and data is flowing just fine!  Yay!

So while I fully realize it is no longer even close to the morning, I'm still posting here today! 

Been a busy start to the day and about two hours ago my day got a WHOLE LOT BETTER! As I posted yesterday, I won a giveaway during Masters week for some amazing headcovers from CMC. I won those by making the correct selection of Scottie at -11, and then a random draw from those who had the same. I also won a giveaway from a small Lefties golf page for a hat and a glove, and just found out today that I won a COBRA Darkspeed Season Opener Edition Driver! I was one of three individuals to again pick Scottie at -11. Three golf balls were put into a bag with our names written on them and mine was pulled. To say I am ecstatic is an understatement! It's going to be such a good looking club that I think I'll have a hard time playing it, but that line of drivers has been so dang good that I'm going to have no choice but to give it a whirl. 

What a day!

Well that is a streak right there! Time for a lottery ticket too!

@CSiders12 My condolences for your loss

To everyone that sent good thoughts about my water leak thank you very much. Your kind thoughts must have worked as had a good look at it when I got home and found that one of the rubber washers at the joint in the pipe had split. Replaced it and it seems to have cured the problem

... Over under on Packers wins is 10.5 so bet $100 nets $130. No brainer for someone on a hot streak. (I took the Bears over at 8.5 and $100 only gets me $76 ) 

[David Leighton Reid]

Good afternoon, golfers.  I was a 3rd grade teacher today and thankful to have my day completed.  I am not sure where it disappears to and why, but I found my swing again yesterday in league play.  Maybe I should stay away from 4 person scrambles???

@Tom the Golf Nut... Ouch, that hurts and the fact you have to wait 26 days to get one is insane! 

@GolfSpy_KFT awesome win on the Darkspeed driver! I can't wait to see the pics and I love it has the same matte carbon top as the King Tec hybrid. 

I'm trying to narrow down the lawn mower issues and I pulled the fuse and it was fine. I also checked the blade engage switch and tried looking for the ground and couldn't find it. It's cool, I have a self propelled mower I can use and I'm going to call someone to give it a look over. I might build vehicles, but I'm ignorant when it comes to repairs so I need someone smarter than me. I'm still waiting to hear about my car, I know they've driven it because I'm stalking it on car-net.

Morning all, It's ANZAC day here in Australia. A day we celebrate all that Australian and New Zealand forces have done in keeping us safe. The date comes from the 25 April 1915 when Allied forces landed at Gallipoli and is a public holiday here. It's a solemn day and had me up early for a dawn service where they celebrate at the sunrise and sunset to give thanks to all those who have served and serve. It's always nice to celebrate for me as my Grandfather fought in WWII and my brother is in the RAF currently. Even got the chance to buy a former Navy officer a coffee before the service which in my days before kids would have been buying them a beer in the pub later in the day! 

Hope everyone has a wonderful day and take the chance to reach out and thank someone in the forces if you can!
