The Good Morning Thread

[J7Hawkins]

Good morning all! Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there and all the dads who had to help their littles find a gift. Hoping the sun pops out soon enough and I can find myself on the fairways in celebration!

We still have 20 or so more testing opportunities left this season, but what do you want to see most?

For very selfish reasons of course, I’d like to see an opportunity to test wedges. I really like my Clevelands but I’d like to test Vokeys, or another big brand, against my 52, 54, & 60.

Skytrak+ would be cool

But on a real note, I love the tests that involve more DTC brands. Personally, more equipment from DTC brands would be cool. I was just looking into a new iron company, Caley Golf, that reminds me very much of Takomo. Seeing some opportunities with more DTC brands would be awesome. Also, seeing other equipment, such as drivers, wedges, putters, etc from these brands would be cool to see how they stack up against the big brands. 

I'm excited to see future opportunities!

Good morning Folks

 

My view for the morning. Not really a beach ocean guy but the weather is fantastic again today. No golf as we head home at some point when the wife decides it’s time. 

 

Happy Mothers day to all the moms. Hope your day is filled with pampering and golf.

I’m very curious about the fitting process. Any club testing opportunities would be the perfect chance to do that.

Thank you Chuck!!  It certainly will be… well, as much fun as a 76 year old can have anyway!    It was always fun when I shared my birthday with Mother’s Day.  She passed away in 2019.

Up at 4:20am today final packing for our trip.  Gee, I wonder what I will forget this time!  My philosophy is if I forget something, I can probably do without it, or I can buy it when I get where I’m going.  Well, that didn’t work on our last trip to Phoenix!  I forgot the power cord to my Garmin S62 GPS watch!!!  I was OK for the first 4 rounds, but it was an 11 round trip!!  You can’t buy a power cord!

Not making coffee this morning; will stop at a barista on the way out of town.  Headed to central Oregon about 250 miles away (Bend. Redmond, Sisters area). Love that area but it sure has grown over the years with Californians.  Staying in a condo at Eagle Crest Resort and playing this afternoon after brunch.

happy birthday, Have a safe and fun trip.

Rapsodo MLM2 Pro

Anything Sub70

Rain Gear, just because it's never going to stop here. Plus, I enjoyed following the test a couple of years ago. 

Something golf strategy related like DECADE of the Four Foundations master class.

Wedges

The 2 week plan that guarantees to make you a scratch golfer.     

Seriously,  I know that isn't possible so the 4 week play that guarantees to make you a scratch golfer.   

Since I am a putter junky, something putter related.   Get a putter with a graphite and steel shaft for comparisons; leverage the Evnroll V series,  2 shafts and one head for a direct comparison.  See if we can help provide some answers to the does an upgraded putter shaft make any difference.

Wow, that's hard to say, maybe electronics, newer balls, not really sure in the way of clubs...

We have a good variety coming up which is exciting, but still working on filling out August and September into October so chances for us to reach out to various companies and more to see what we can do and getting the input of membership is always great!

You know, you might be on to something. The is really should exist.

Good morning, Spies!

I am up way too late/early because of final drafting of the Red Rooster Sussex glove review, which is now live and available for your reading pleasure.  With that done, I just wanted to pop in here and post on 5/15 before @sirchunksalot, and now I am going to bed.

Good night, Spies!

[sirchunksalot]

Good morning everyone! @IndyBonzo, I hope you got to sleep after staying up so late. 

It's a nice morning here in SE Tennessee, the drive in was a tad foggy until I crossed White Oak where it cleared up. It is supposed to rain later and I need to remember to grab the umbrella for the walk out.

I've got to head in early, work loves doing "line confirmation" on Monday mornings, or what I call early morning buffer fill. Can you tell I love it?

I hope all of you have a great start to your work week!

[DonnieGolfs]

Been offline past few days, spent Saturday moving my brother into new apartment in the city and then celebrating the Mothers in my life afterwards. Had to move up the celebration because of work. Got a week ish left of this schedule, start summer classes tonight, they finish up late June just before I leave for vacation for a week so I am looking forward to that.

Hope every had a good weekend, I'll be running back through to catch up on things. Have a good week everyone.

Good morning Spies, well another "back to work" Monday for some here, and that is where I am at currently. After a damp Saturday, and a cool Sunday, now going to be sunny and warmer here.

Hope you all have a great day, and make the best of it no matter what you may be doing.

Good morning! Popping in to wish everyone a good week! Baseball season officially ended for us on Saturday which is sad, it's my favorite of the sports I coach and my little team was starting to roll. We get a few weeks to take a break and then football season kicks off. Hopefully it's time for lots of golf this summer!

[Rickp]

GM & Happy Monday!!  Coffee with a Organic wheat English muffin, wasn’t too bad.  
Out the door early with a 7am Tee Time.  Switched out to the PXG 2011 driver, time to see how that works.

Would love to see a test for one length clubs. Being playing Cobra for years but must be other brands!

[EasyPutter]

Good morning MGSpy Forum friends on a Monday in Rochester NY.  This was a photo one of the PGA HOPE Ambassadors sent to me he said was already posted on the PGA HOPE site while I was eating dinner. My son is my selected guest who is experiencing the Secretary's Cup adventure with me and his lower self is in the background behind me. 

The competitive 9 holes and other challenges happen today with closing ceremony this afternoon. Can't think of a better way to spend a Monday. Hope golf is a part of your day

[Daniel Carrier]

Good morning all!

This may be the day I change my username:

1- EasyDC

2- Chip_it_in

Gooooood morning all. Late start for me today, don’t have to go in until noon so I’m taking it easy having coffee and some eggs. A little chilly right now but going to be beautiful and 75, couldn’t ask for much better. Have a fantastic day everyone!

[GolfSpy_KFT]

Good morning fellow spies! Cool and crisp morning here in Wisconsin. This week marks the start of my Tuesday 12 week two man scramble league, which is super fun. My playing partner is one of my former fellow assistant basketball coaches, and a good handful of friends also play in the league. It is competitive but pretty laid back and just a good time. The only thing I don’t like about it is they don’t cap the number of golfers who can play, and there’s 104 total this year with a 5:30pm shotgun start format. So some tee boxes will have A and B groups. Hopefully pace of play will be ok. It always was last year, but I wish they’d cap it at 72 golfers. 
 

EDIT: After posting, I realized that this was my 1,000th post, which is a great one to achieve that mark! Been loving the forum and now headed towards 2k!

We have had a few in past cobra select the one length, but with a few fewer options out there (even in Cobra's Lineup) not sure if we can. Are there others brands using one length?

We can of course still try!

I know the offering is fading away. That is why I upgrade my Cobra fast. Will get my Aerojet set soon to replace my Speedzone.

Edel stop making single length. There still Sterling and Wishon golf. In Sweden, there is Zynk golf. Could there be some in Japan?

Good morning everyone! I have a big day ahead of me today. Grad school starts today, a new week of school, and I have a big interview at 11:00. I'm interviewing for a Dean of Students position at an elementary school, which would be my first ever school admin job! I feel pretty good about the interview, I'm just hoping the rest of the day goes well. I hope all of you have a great day as well! 

[Big moose]

Good morning all, have an exciting day ahead starting with a dentist appointment at 9:00. It just doesn't get any better than that. Than league play in the afternoon, this is my first league play of the season, first 3 were rain outs, last week had plans. Remember long and straight people. 

[David Leighton Reid]

Good Monday morning.  I hope everyone had a great weekend.
