The Good Morning Thread

What a thread, I’m through the first 2 pages. It’s going to take me a week to get through all 14/15 pages. 
 

my alarm is set for 4:30am. That used to be sleeping in for me, job change helped that. 
I’ve been meaning to wake up earlier and get to the gym, but the last 10/15 years has been a struggle for that. I have been taking 15-20 min to do some hyperbolic stretching and a few yoga moves to help with the back. 
 

I'm a coffee guy and it just depends on what went on the previous day or upcoming if I have 2 cups or 8. Pic of my cup attached. 

 

Work day starts at 6am and done at 2:30. I manage 3 warehouses that are 40 minutes apart from each other. I get windshield time in between them plus any other deliveries I need to do. 
 

I try to stop at the local range for some swing work when my back lets me. 
 

My side gig is I officiate HS football, lacrosse and baseball. Lacrosse is taking a back seat as it’s is pretty tough on a body that was abused in its youth through the 40’s. 
love the stories and everybody’s different life styles. 

Good morning

This morning FOG was thick.  Starter told us we could play at our own discretion/peril.  This is a 1st time ever hearing that.

I can’t remember where, I played a course that had a large bell installed next to the green for just such a reason.

Sooner or later, there’ll be a location app for any given course that everyone carries.

Yup, I’ve seen the Bell system at a couple courses up north.  All they asked us to do this morning was keep cart lights on until Fig lifted, never did lift!

It's Monday the day of greatest opportunity...and the day that morning lasts until night!  Hope it is a good start to the week, fellas!

And so it begins at the antidawn, 2 inches/5 cm in the past 2 hours.  Next update at coffee time in 12 hours at dawn.  Corgi tracks in the foreground where there was only greenish grass at lunchtime.

Guess I can't complain about our tee times being pushed back because of fog.

Last summer I had some days like that on my dew sweeper rounds. LOL I keep 6 or 8 various yellow balls of different brands I have found in the car just for that reason

Early start to a long day. Dogs fed and thankfully no snow removal even tho there is snow of ground we have a covered garage.

It's veterans tournament which is fun, but it's a tight schedule and normally a miracle if they run on time. 

Thankfully a good amount of downtime when the games start which may allow for some catch up on the last of us.

Getting ready for a 7:00 Tuesday Exec.  Small group today 8 guys.  A few are going to Orioles Baseball game.

Good morning on a wet Tuesday at sunrise, few inches of snow last night slowly melting being helped by rain, the combination keeping Corgi feet from being muddy coming back into the house.  Sump pumping frequently near my basement work station with drains sounding like waterfalls until the level rises. 

Good kind of day for indoor putting practice once the day of work is finished, made better with hot coffee of rich flavor

Good morning, everyone. I woke up to the birds chirping and sunlight coming through the blinds. Up and going at 7am. Quick check of the weather and it's supposed to be 77 degrees and sunny. Of course, why, it's a workday and I have meetings on and off all the way to 3:00. No possible way of getting out on the course. I will have to accept the fact that today all the golf related activities will either be the forum or maybe some putting or simulator at lunch time.

Was gonna yell at ya for rubbing in your beautiful weather as I had to clear my car of snow this morning,  but not being able to golf in nice weather is punishment enough.

Early morning here had to get in for 530 for a project replacing a critical piece of equipment. Going to be a long day, snow blowing the house and the church once real work is done….2 cup of coffee type day.

@EasyPutter- I used to have Corgi tracks ALL over the back yard in the snow - I had to dig a path complete with little areas for her to go in her normal spots so her plumbing didn't get too cold- she was one of the best dogs I ever had

I grew up outside of Manhattan (NY). Just asking because I travel to the Kansas City area for work several times a year. But you're a good two hours away from there. You never know maybe we can hook up in Topeka somewhere to get a round in together sometime.

Forgot to mention an interesting fact worth forgetting...

"good morning", never capitalized and most often written simply as "gm", is a common greeting online between web3, and sometimes crypto, forum participants

See? Not as exciting as sunrises, strong coffee or golf talk!

My Gkids forgot to update me on that.

Today I'm going to go with good afternoon everyone! It's Tuesday and I sat in the car this morning drinking coffee, listening to podcasts, and tried not to pass back out. Tuesday's have that effect on me. I get home from work and its beautiful outside, 75 and sunny. I thought about going to the range, but I had a meeting at work that went a little longer than expected. 

I hope you all have had a wonderful day.

I REALLY like perfect Manhattans, the SoCo ones aren't too bad either.

Sounds like a good idea to me

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope everyone's day is off to a good start. I'm just chilling in the car drinking coffee and preparing for another day. It looks like the weather is going to be pleasant for one more day before the rain and cooler weather comes in until the weekend. 

[Rickp]

Woke up so great start.  Have a 7:45 Tee Time with the FM’s (can’t reveal what that stands for on this site) and this group is more serious than the Bacon Boyz.  BUT they do appreciate Fireball after each Birdie.

[EasyPutter]

Good morning on a crisp Wednesday from WNY, benign kind of winter morning missing 80% of the snow that fell and what remains is ice = clean paws with the low rider patrol.  Coffee is good and hot, already over an hour into the workday  so here we go! 

Now @Rickp you can't put FM's out where a Veteran can see it without getting a laugh  [Field Manual of course ]

[GolfSpy_APH]

Crummy morning... well crummy night which led to a worse night and too early of a morning. Thankfully had swimming lessons with Ivan to get my mind off things for a couple hours, but sorting out some bs that just really took me by surprise. Hoping it gets settled later today and can move on from it... depending on which way it slides I may or may not have a follow up post (all non golf related haha)

Coffee was supreme though!

[JohnSmalls]

Happy  day fellas!
