Congrats to cnosil daughter passing her licensing exam. My daughter is a nurse and I know what it took to get there. As fast as MGS, I spy with my little eye little bits of what spies are doing all day long!  I lt starts with coffee before breakfast and continues as I can catch and read things as time at work allows.  And I get alerts all day as you all respond to different comments.  Keep it up!  It breaks up the work day!

Good morning spied! What a beautiful morning this morning. Coffee was flowing, birds chirping, already gone to the range... great start! Going to get a haircut and then headed down to take care of my grandma for a couple of nights. Hopefully, I can sneak out and play golf tomorrow before she wakes up. It's also supposed to cool off so the weather should be pristine. Looking forward to a relaxing break! Have a great Sunday!

Happy Sunday! Yesterday my wife completed the last session of a 5 part New to Golf clinic at our club. During yesrday’s session she played her first two holes on a course. This afternoon we are headed out to play nine holes of captain’s choice! Very excited to play with her for the first time. Weather is supposed to be near perfect (mid-to-low 70’s and partly cloudy).

Makes me want to go there again.   Going to climb Diamond Head?

 

Did last time I was here and my heel is okish (hurt it running been sore for a few weeks) so I don’t want to push it that much.  Also you have to make reservations now and damn near everywhere else too it seems.

Good Early Afternoon!  Was awake at 4:30; had my 2 cups of coffee in bed, then scrambled 2 eggs with toast before heading out for an early tee time.  Nobody to play with today so my wife and I got paired with a couple of nice guys.  After 12 holes he was calling us mama bear and papa bear! 🤣  One guy was OK, the other not so much but they didn't hold us... which was nice!

Now home to do laundry the rest of the day and watch The Memorial..

Matt,

We tested the LAB putters together last year. I remember seeing an email saying how we could order these bags but I can’t find it. Can you help me out here?

Thanks, and enjoy the bag!

-John

Hey John! 

  Yeah, it was an opportunity to "Group Buy" (basically, discounted price if enough people ordered), comes with the MGS patch and embroidery of your choice - I clearly went the "silly" route 😉

  I'm tagging Bryan on this, as he's the one who put it together.  I believe there's an option to extend orders - @GolfSpy BOS - wanna take this one? 🙂 I was going to share the link, but it looks like because the original deadline passed, it's no longer shareable.

Nice, need a bag, I would order one of those.

Jack, see above - Bryan, can you tag Jack as well with whatever the answer is?

If he needs multiple people to order, you can also let him know I would be interested in one as well.

Bryan - same here as well.  

Thanks!

Oh my god - unclear as to where else to post this, but this has definetely made my day a whole lot brighter. LOOK how gorgeous this thing is!!!

I may have to fight the little guy for it, but it's beyond what I was expecting. 

And that COOLER pocket is... Good lord almighty. It's a party-pocket. 

I’d love to hear your review of the bag.  It does look gorgeous, but I’m more curious about the functionality. I would probably never put more than one drink, maybe 2, so wonder if it has the storage for typical golf gear and consumables (ie, balls)?  Can they be Ordered thru this site?

So far, I really love it.  The stitching is top-notch, and it feels like everything's been designed with extreme thought.  I'll give a deeper-dive kind of review, maybe even a video, to show all the pockets, but so far it's pretty fantastic.  I transferred everything from my old bag into this bag, and didn't seem to have any issues at all - I did have to pare down some of the extraneous stuff I was randomly holding on to, but the nice thing is that the pocket that's to the side of the cooler pocket (zippered vertical pocket above the white diamond) actually goes deeper than the cooler pocket, as well as in front of it - so if you're not using the cooler, you still have access to a pretty large pocket cavity.  And even if you are, you can still fit stuff in there (I've currently got it set up for shag/used balls I use for chipping, etc.), which is a pretty clever design.  

Anyway, while I've never played with a "Hoofer" (which always seems to be top of the list of MGS bags), I can see this thing being way more than what I might need, and the personalization aspect of it (along with the clay green color I got) is just *chef's kiss* delicious 🙂

If you're interested in a bag similar to this, @GolfSpy BOS can be sent a message - he's the one who organized the group buy (to get the bags at a considerable discount ($175 + Shipping - mine came out to $208 with taxes and shipping), and he's mentioned that the deal can still be accessed for forum members, but you'll need to reach out to him.

 

Thank you - now I am very intrigued.  The price is great but moreso, my concern with the cooler pocket that holds 4 large drinks is dispelled by your comment regarding the side vertical pocket that can encroach on the cooler area, if I understand correct.  I do love the look.  Hope it can stay clean! I probably would not carry very often because of our terrain, but would for 9 holes occasionally.

Morning all! Going to be a crazy week, my schedule is all over the place. Today will be my only opportunity to hit the course so I’m going to make sure it happens! Just pulled in the lot, going to finish my coffee, eat my bagel, and browse here till my start time. Have a fantastic day everyone!!!

That sounds like the ideal start to the day. I hope you hit them well and have fun out there.
