Good Morning everyone!!  Off to the course for an early round at our sister course across the river.  We have a wind advisory... 25-35 with gusts to 50mph.  Should be a LOT of fun!?!  Hope you have better conditions and play well.  

Hey!  It's still morning... at least here on the west coast!!  Finished our round at our sister course in 3 hours and 10 minutes... after the 5-some in front of us on #1 let us tee off on #2 (they hadn't finished teeing off when we got to the tee).  Nice of them!  Never saw them again, or anyone else for that matter.  Didn't play too bad; 8 pars and 10 bogeys for an 82.  On this very windy day I consider it a win!  

On the drive home...

Have a great Veterans Day to all the veterans and service members everywhere.  Thank you for your service!!

Good morning all from a perfect morning to be sitting in the whitetail woods. My chase continues in pursuit of filling a tag and hopefully today is the day. 

Man you could've just stood next to me on my driveway this morning!!

I've seen deer - does and their fawns - around here but very rarely a buck .. and this guy just casually trotting down my street was the biggest one I've seen in this area! Don't know how to count the "points" but he was carrying a pretty large, spread out rack, too!

Happy Veteran’s day and thank you for your service.  Lost a former colleague last week, RADM James Robb USN (ret). Jim had an amazing career as one of the first F-14A pilots, former Top Gun student, Instructor and Commanding Officer who developed some of our ACM tactics.  Almost 5000 flying hours, 1000+ carrier landings and 9 deployments.  Fair winds and following seas….

Good morning!  Up earlier than I wanted to be, but the coffee is brewing and enjoying the quiet. 

Hope everyone enjoys their Sunday and if golf is in the forecast, hit em straight.

Good morning and happy Sunday everyone!!! Starting the day out at 40° and clear, should get up to around 63° today. I’m heading out the door in 15 minutes to get 18 in this morning. While at work yesterday, I had a coworker who I played a few rounds with this year, ask me if I was playing today. I told him that I planned on going out at sunrise and to my surprise he asked if he could join. He’s not a fan of the chilly temps so I was a bit surprised. He seemed pretty excited about it all but the end of the day yesterday so, I may actually have a playing partner this morning which I am looking forward to.

Hope you spies have a great day!! ⛳️

Good morning Spies on this Sunday from a frosty Motor City area. Great news on my end as I went to FedEx and did get my irons yesterday.

Quick picture of them below. I did swing them and hit a few balls in the yard, not full swings, and I am looking forward to getting on the course at noon today with some friends.

Had a birthday party to attend later in the afternoon and evening yesterday, so today will be the first real test/playing with them.

Hope that your day is the best it possibly can be, and if golfing make it an enjoyable round, no matter the conditions or score.

Glad to see that you finally got those irons in hand!

Robert, I'm glad to see you finally got your irons. I hope you hit them well today and I can't wait to hear your on course impressions of them!

Good morning my fellow spies from an instant reply Sunday of Saturday down here in wet and dreary South Texas. 
   Black clouds can be seen way, way to the north headed our way. The clouds are either announcing the coming of you-know-who’s oppressive totalitarian arrival or we are getting another storm. Either way, to be safe from either; might be a good idea if @Josh Parker went ahead and firmly closed the door. 
     Concerning the weather; there will again be NO golf today. There will be a a semi- emergency meeting at the club following brunch. Seems 2 or 3 of the holes are in an ancient river bed. There is some rarely seen standing water on those holes. The meeting is about possibly adding the term “ yacht “ to the official club name. Texans are known to occasionally get ahead of themselves.

Have a magnificent Sunday my friends. May today be the day you wish it to be.

Good morning! My neighbor agreed to let me borrow his garmin r10 for testing the Titleist white box balls. Hopefully we get around to doing that today. Otherwise, cheers to a relaxing and joyful Sunday!

 Have a good day!

Happy Fall Weekend everyone!

Brisk breeze and chilly temps here but glad I'm not in Anchorage - did you see they got 2+ ft of .. SNOW 🥶 .. overnight!

May drive down to a beach park on the south shore that has a fun 18 hole Par 3 .. today is the last day of their season and it's good wedge practice - especially with a breeze.

Lower back is still a little sore from a few days ago and it's a bit of a drive down there and back, but hey when are we guys ever "smart" when it comes to stuff like that + golf..? 😉

Well enjoy the day all, whatever it includes for you!!

Good morning everyone. Gonna be a slow Sunday. Got the brewery fired up to brew up a big stout that I plan to put into a barrel that had bourbon and then maple syrup. A friend is brewing the other half of what’s needed to fill it. Then I plan to put some pork ribs on the smoker for a family dinner  for the mother in law’s birthday. Hope everyone has a great end to their weekend. 

You need to at least consider adopting a cranky old man from the south-southwest. Every family needs one😉
