Hey All,

 

Today’s my 25th birthday. Old timer, eh?I’m not one to be overly emotional but I wanted to express some appreciation for this thread and the people within it. I don’t want to overshare, but admittedly the last few months haven’t been my best; I was engaged and late last year things didn’t work out. But making my way back to this forum and all of you has helped more than I care to admit. This truly is a fantastic community of genuine people who love a beautiful game, and I’m grateful for it. Thank you. I hope everyone has had a great weekend and enjoys their Sunday.

Hey thank you for finding this forum and participating in it!

Belated Happy Birthday ... and looking forward to hearing about more fun golfing days .. aka what you 20-somethings call work with your in-office simulator and amenities and flexible schedules (yes I'm jealous I was def born in the wrong era)

Good Morning All and as my former boss always liked to say TGIM!

Although it really feels like my Tuesday as I worked most of the day yesterday to get ahead of forecast items for work.  I'm leaving Thursday for vacation with Mrs. BOS which is a few days before the forecast will be locked down.  

Anyway, its a cool and wet Marathon Monday today.  Good luck to all the runners out there, Go Sox (they need all the help they can get) and GO BRUINS BABY!

Big day for Boston! 

Completely forgot today is the Marathon!  Such a cool experience!

Good morning! I must say, I’m a bit jealous of all these tee times today! 

Get at it folks - can’t wait to hear how your rounds go!

Aren’t we all???

Was honestly going to come on here to humble brag about my tee time next saturday just to see all the folks playing today!

My countdown continues

Morning everyone.  Bit of a depressing Monday here in Wisconsin.  We had multiple days last week above 75°.  Today the high temp is in the 30's and it's snowing.  Ugh.

I feel your pain as a fellow Wisconsinite, @Bucky CC. I can say with certainty, I'd rather be looking at the amount of snow you are than what we got over here Northwest of Madison 

[GolfSpy_KFT]

Good (and I use that word lightly, today) morning all from a completely snow covered southwest wisconsin. As @Bucky CC already mentioned, we got the white stuff last night and into today. Currently the flurries are still flying in my part of the state, and we've safely got 4" on the ground. REALLY hoping it stops, and we get back to the 70 degree temps we enjoyed all last week soon. No golf for me throughout this next week, but going to try and stay positive that at some point towards the end of next week the weather will improve and we will be back at it 

Looking forward to the week ahead as the hype for the Cobra 50th Anniversary Member Special continues to build!

Opinion poll: 

Job is offering 4 10s this summer M-Th instead of the standard M-F work schedule. 

Do I go for the 4 10s and play early Friday morning rounds after I drop the kids at the bus stop?

Morning everyone!

Just got back from the course - our regular Monday men's group was canceled due to the rain - we had about 3" last night. It was drizzling when I got to the course (CP only) but as I turned around to head home there was another downpour.  

In the past I'd be upset that I couldn't play but since we normally have great weather it's just a minor inconvenience and especially since we desperately need the rain. 

I'll probably go out later to our practice facility for chipping and putting drills.

Morning All,

Busy day today with the marathon. My work is right at the beginning so tons of space is used/donated for folks to park and volunteers get bussed in. Events over the past weekend for groups as well so its always busy this time of year for the marathon. Nice cool misty morning for the runners.

I have even ran it by my wife and promised little coffee date before or after and she's all for it. I think the decision is made.

Yeah are seriously asking a bunch of golf-obsessed golfaholics which way to go here..???

haha but seriously if the 10 hr days don't interfere with any other important things, and you have the stamina for it, I say go for it!

You are a wise man, we can all learn something from you.

Woke up excited today! The NHL Playoffs officially start this evening, going to be a fun couple of months. 
 

Go Bolts! 

[MattWillGolf]

Good morning Spies, the weather @EasyPutter warned me of has arrived. We've gone from 88 to 48 overnight and there is a threat of snow later in the week.  I've enjoyed my coffee in my favorite mug, see previous post of said mug. If we don't get an extended weather break I will head over to the golf dome at Turning Stone for some range time. Hope all have a great Monday.

If this doesn't go 100% for the 4 10s then who are we as a people? And whoever chooses M-F needs to be suspended from the forum for a period of no less than 6 months!

IMO the playoffs end May 8th once I see what pick the Blackhawks get in the draft.   But since my daughter is a Canes fan I guess I will be pulling for them.

Oh, that's right Patriots day. I was in Littleton, MA on business when the bomb exploded. I remember that security at Logan was very tight and anyone wearing Boston Marathon apparel was being questioned as to whether or not they had witnessed anything.

There are people I'm sure who hate home life enough they don't want it continuous for 3 days.

This was almost just for moral reinforcement that I was in fact making the right decision haha

I had worked an overnight the day before. I was asleep and woke up to the news, was a wild day, around these parts its like Christmas or Thanksgiving, big holiday to watch the marathon.

GM Y'all!!!!! Here we are again- another day in Paradise!!!!! How 'bout Matt Fitz!!!!Apparently my crystal ball was off by a week- I LOVED his approach shot!!!!!! I went out on Saturday and played HORRENDOUSLY- I wish I could blame it on the the WINDY/RAINY/NASTY/COLD(44*) weather- But it was all operator error. On the plus side- the greens were really receptive(if/when I found them) and there were only about 5 other people out on the course. Hope y'all that are getting out have nothin but F&Gs cuz the rest of us got this........

[Merlin1313]

Here's a few pics of my "Home" course- not necessarily the best golf weather- but the course wasn't crowded (except for some of the "transients" that you can see)
