Thanks appreciate it.

Yup those pesky threats but they never follow thru.  We gave threats @ 4:00 we’ll see.

Good morning from a wet, rainy Tennessee. I woke up to a little bit of lightning and knew it was going to be a nasty day.

At least we have an announcement for the Titleist T series this morning and I was excited to see the group of members that were chosen. Congratulations again fellas, that should be a fun test.

I hope y'all have a wonderful day!

Good Morning,

My senior dog needed a trip outdoors at 4 am EST and while he was doing his thing I read the testers announced post. 

Humbling. I’m blessed to be part of this community. 

Hoping everyone has a great day,

Good morning Spies from a wet and dreary Michigan. 

Make your day the best it can be, and hope that golf may be in your plans.

Good morning everyone. Had a great day yesterday, got our middle child on a pedal bike for the first time and she is so close doing it. She has the balance just needs to get those pedals going forward. I think she is gonna practice some more today and I am sure she is going to get it going. Always a fun time to see them work hard and accomplish something that takes that much practice. Otherwise just working through another week. Hope everyone has a fabulous day.

GM & Happy Tuesday!!  Coffee & fruit and out the door for a 7am tee time.  Will be hot and humid again with no rain in the forecast.  Not sure what rest of day has in store.   
Everyone have a great day!!

Good Morning All,

So… seems like a lot of buzz around the forum this morning…was there a big announcement or something…

Have a great Tuesday!

[ParFore74x]

Good morning Spies!! Beautiful mid-50s to start the day with a high of 81° predicted. Clubs are in the truck just in case I can get in a round this afternoon.

Have a wonderful day!

Good morning spies!

Sounds like I’ve lucked out today cause seems like everyone else is getting rain. Halfway decent outside for once, we’!l see how long it lasts.

No golf planned today but should be an eventful week: first GOLFTEC lesson tomorrow after work, Sub70 demo hybrid and utility/iron set should be arriving tomorrow, playing a par 3 after work Thursday, scheduled a 75% off PXG full bag fitting Saturday morning, 2nd GOLFTEC lesson Sunday morning, and then finally playing 18 that afternoon. Going to be a whirlwind of golf and I couldn’t be more excited!

[DoubleBogeyDad]

Morning Spies. Back to the office after a 5 day weekend. Should be terrible.

[GolfSpy_SHARK]

Morning all! Rainy day here, axtually lost power at 6:15 but just came back on. Assuming an accident because it’s not windy or anything.

Short week this week have Friday off for a wedding….I might as well golf in the morning amiright?!

[GolfSpy_KFT]

Good morning all from another early wake up for employee HRA screenings! Should be another smooth day at work followed by a 3:10pm tee time with one of my former basketball players (now a junior in college). Looking forward to getting out on the course with him today and then playing another round next week with him and another former player of mine on Tuesday. 

Also have a new pair of FootJoy Hyperflexes set to arrive today! I have had my OG Hyperflexes for just shy of two years and noticed my feet getting very wet during my dewsweeper rounds. FJ has a two year warranty on the waterproofing of their shoes, so I contacted them and got the warranty claim submitted and taken care of with zero questioning from them, and a replacement pair free of charge on the way. Top notch customer service and I'll now be a FootJoy customer for life. Going to do an unofficial review on them as they will be getting a lot of play this week!

Also, only two more days till my golf trip weekend! 

[Preeway]

Good morning everyone. Last weekday in August without students. They start tomorrow. One more day to get ready and one last peaceful cup of coffee. Looking forward to getting team “Questionable Judgement” filled up and the match play underway. September is shaping up to be a great month. Have a great day!

[CSiders12]

Good morning all! It's another beautiful day today! My wife and I went to the range last night and had a great time. She hit the ball really well and is actively looking to get better. I'm a lucky man! 

Work today and maybe sneak out to practice a bit today. It's going to be a lovely day! 

I hope you all have a Tidy Tuesday!

Welcome fellow spies to drama Tuesday in South Texas   She, who would be omnipotent, wanted to discuss the subject of my golf “ hobby “. She informed me there was a difference between a hobby and a fanatical obsession. I told her, that I was good with my level of interest in golf. She finished the conversation by stating that while she could live with my fanaticism, she didn’t have a lot of hope for me to survive much longer.

   While you are still on this side of the grass… May you find nothing but fairways and greens.

Good morning everyone!  Apparently this is post number 1000 for me.

To celebrate I'm going to finish my cup of coffee, get in a quick workout, and then head to the office for the day.  Wooooooo!!!!!!

Today is kind of boring, but I'm going in for a 2nd driver fitting tomorrow that I'm much more excited for.  The first one was Sunday and ended up giving me an unexpected result that I want to double check before throwing down $600.

Have a great day everyone.

[skraeling]

Greetings Spies!  My wife and I took a trip down to Florida and I have been absent from the forum.  Florida was very hot, but we managed to spend some time at the beach and I played 2 rounds of golf.  

Do tell us more - about golf in Fl that is. 

[MattWillGolf]

Good morning Spies,

Woke up to rain. I have a 9:30am tee time so I’m hoping for a break in the rain. One cup down and one to go. I tried something new for breakfast. Overnight oats. They were pretty good with a dollop of peanut butter and honey. Certainly easy enough to make. 1/2 a cup of quick oats, 1/2 a cup of almond milk and a a couple of teaspoons of chia seeds then place in the fridge overnight. 

Wishing all a great day.

Getting selected for a big test creates a buzz better than a strong cup of coffee. Congrats

I had to do the same thing at 4:30.  So when we came back in I checked the forum to make sure Sirchunksalot didnt oversleep. 

I saw the testers announcement and slowly made my way to the page so I had time to come up with a humble acceptance speech.  Then reality set in and I was reliving high school when Jeanine Muscowicz chose somebody else for her prom date!  Congrats to Bens197 & the other testers!

Luckily I wasn't last person chosen for the MGS match play event or it would have been Jr High dodge ball all over! A proud member of Team Questionable Judgement.... So I got that going for me!!

League night tonight!!  Have a great day everyone!!

[IndyBonzo]

Good morning, Spies!

Just a quiet workday for me.  Daydreaming about golf.

On that note, I posted over in the equipment forum looking for input on selecting a hybrid/iron set for my beginner golfer daughter.  Please chime in there if you have a take.   I want to stoke her love of golf and help pick the correct clubs for her.  And yes, I already promised I would regrip her clubs in pink, at her request.

Congratulations to all the Titleist iron testers!  (BTW I am also very humbly taking 10% credit for @Ben Joest's tester selection by suggesting publicly he go buy the T150s to try. )

I wish you all super Tuesdays!

Gooood morning all, 

Rainy day here and I had to head into the office but otherwise no complaints.  I'm actually going with my wife, brother-in-law, and his girlfriend to see the Goo-Goo Dolls and OAR this evening in Boston.  I asked this morning if I need to binge listen to their greatest hits playlist because I could only think of one song, but once Ash started reading off names of songs I remembered a bunch.  Should be a good time!

Then I'm looking forward to Friday AM.  @Lacassem and I will be playing a round with our dads @Placasse61 and @GolfSpy BOS-Dad in an annual duel.  Pete, you're not getting strokes, so don't ask!   

[Byrnzee]

Morning spies.

I have a special opportunity to play 36 holes on Wednesday this week at a local course I'm a big fan of. Best way to split up the week and make a Tuesday feel like a Friday. Can't ask for anything better!

Went and hit a bucket just after sunrise.  Nothing but wedge shots. I'm without my irons currently. Traded in my sticks and have some Srixon on order. Went with zx5 mkII 4-6 and the zx7 mkII 7-PW.  It may be a long 2 weeks but at least it will give me some time to work on the short game.

Haha. Not yet. Just got a new LAB putter and driver. Wife is on the verge of killing me. But I did get her some new to her clubs since she wants to play. 

[Johnny_Clocks]

Good Tuesday to everyone. Hurt my arm at the simulator yesterday, so taking a couple days rest in hopes of being able to make it out to the course this weekend.
