Good morning! Coffee in hand and today is a day of meetings. Hopefully the afternoon meeting lets out early and I can get to the course before dinner tonight.

Have a good day everyone!

[skraeling]

Hope everyone elses morning is less stressful. 

Im doing this:

[ZoonORama]

Happy Tuesday Spies!

Chilly start (31 deg.) then up to 59 today and sunny. Unfortunately I have back to back meetings from 11:30am through 5pm.   So, another day where lunch is whatever I can grab in 5 min or less.

Today is National Pickle Day.  Nuff said… use those pickles wisely….

One more day then hitting the links with @snoopy79

Have a wonderful week!

Cheers

Good morning all from a frost covered morning here in Wisconsin. Kicked off the day with at 5:00am alarm, in to work at 6 and will be here until 6pm. Have to cover an education class for a co worker, thus the later than usual day. I do not love 12 hour days. Tomorrow will also be another late night at work, but I will be leaving early Thursday to get one final round of golf in with some buddies before the course closes for the season. The only perk of working a 12 hour day today and a 10 hour day tomorrow is early out Thursday and Friday. 

Saturday is going to be a really fun day, not to get too far ahead of myself, but we have tickets to see Charlie Berens, creator of the Manitowoc Minute comedy skit, that night. He is actually in our hometown at the performing arts center at the high school. For those not familiar with his work, I'll link a video below. I find him hilarious, he lays on the Wisconsinite THICK

Ugh another week on the road. I’m in Charlotte since yesterday. Then a 2-3/4 hr drive to Raleigh tomorrow morning. Meetings there and Thursday back to Charlotte for more meetings. 

Hoping for a nice weekend to get some golf in and a little more white ball testing. Last weekend was a wash out.

Have a great day everyone.

[Byrnzee]

Good morning spies!

Recovering this morning after an embarrassing Bills loss last night. From "Super Bowl contenders" to missing the playoffs... this hasn't been a fun season as a fan. 

Weather has been surprisingly nice, which I can't complain about. Getting back into the 60s today. May try to hit the driving range after work (even though the sun sets at 4:30pm). 

Anyone going to be tuning into the Netflix Cup today with the Formula 1 drivers? I may try to watch during work. 

Glad you're feeling better @GolfSpy_APH!

Have a great day everyone

Good morning everyone, looks like we are going to be able play the next 3 days, sunny upper 50s to low 60s. Not bad for November in Western pa. Have a great day everyone.

Tuesday… Is just the leftovers from Monday. Hello my favorite golfers; The rain has abated and is taking the rest of the week off in preparing to ruin the coming weekend for outdoor activities. 
   The work location is significantly more somber and subdued than normal. Evidently a car load of the younger crew members were returning from a nearby town when they came upon the aftermath of the accident caused by a fleeing human smuggler; there were multiple motor vehicle victims including the human smuggler…. 8 dead total. May have been the first time any of the youths had seen  a dead person outside of possibly a funeral. So, the demeanor and conversation topics have been quite muted. The rain has also been an issue. Most of the crew has zero experience in working in the rain or dealing with working in muddy ground(s). Will be here another day then will head back to the realm of the “ Monster Monarch “. There is an outside possibility of golf Friday before the next Noah event happens. 
    Take Tuesday for yourselves and make with it, what you will. As @ZoonORama said; be careful where and how you use those pickles…

it's not morning,  but I have been at the RTj Highlandscub since 0530. I was assigned as a range volunteer for the Stage 2 Korn Ferry Tour qualifiers tournament.  so far it's been interesting.  lightly conversated with players and caddies from all over the world. a few were former pga pros who lost their  card last season, some are here for the first time, right out of high school or college. I'll be on this assignment again tomorrow,  where they begin their practice rounds. Tournament play is Wednesday thru Friday. I was allowed to snap a few pics from afar, but can't mention names (not that I remember most of them! ha)

The range balls are titleist ProV1's,  and are stamped "TOUR" on them. we were told we may be give a few after range days were over.

wow, that is fun for you, I really enjoy watching these great players on the driving range and putting green, in particular their rythym on the range and their "tools" on the putting green. I Try to steal some inside information lol

Good Morning Spies, 

It was a rainy, windy & wet morning for a 7am tee time. 70 degrees & did not get much warmer after 18 holes - 75 degrees. Walked 18 holes this morning in challenging weather, which was great opportunity to test another White Box Titleist TEST Ball. 

Back home & changed into dry clothes and back at work.  Finishing hot cup of espresso! 

Welcome back @Shankster!  Glad you are feeling better @GolfSpy_APH!! 

Have a Great Day Everyone! Stay Warm & Hit'em straight

The temperature continues to remind me that golf season has ended.

 

... Wrong memo.   One of my favorite Pards is visiting this week so we are playing the next 7 days in a row. 

[sirchunksalot]

I'm currently sitting in the parking lot of a golf course one of my friends is a member of getting ready to play. We had a major breakdown at work and got to go home, so what better way to spend the rest of the day? Let's do this!

[GolfSpy_SHARK]

It's a @Shankster siting! Glad to see you doin well

Late morning check in! Tuesday-Thursday at work are chaotic, the days where personnel come back to the office mostly so just coming down from that big morning rush. Days are getting really short with the sun going down around 4:30/5, the worst time of year . Looking forward to the end of this week with some warmer temps coming in.

Have fun Jason, and make sure to not over stress your feet. Way to make the best of that opportunity too!

Sadly here for me it is dark when I leave to drive into work, and dark again when I am able to leave to go back home.

Hurry up December 21, when the daylight hours start to increase again. 

[snoopy79]

Happy Tuesday!

I know this is not a morning post but I just wanted to drop a line and say hello to my fellow golfing spies! Hope your day is/was great

Till tomorrow!

Good morning everyone!

I'm a bit tired this morning as I had to rush yesterday evening after playing to get everything together for work today. It was so worth it, I had a chance to play a beautiful course with friends. Although the course beat me up and took my lunch money, I hit some good shots and learned some things I need to work on with my limited ability to swing.

My body is achy right now but I have my coffee to provide motivation to push through the day. Plus, it's hump day and we're at the halfway point of the week.

I hope you all have a great one!

Good morning Spies!

Getting motivated for exercise and the workday.  Coffee stat!

Hope you all have fabulous days!

[rkj427]

Good morning Spies on this middle of the work week Wednesday.

Supposed to approach 60 degrees here today and tomorrow, before we get rain on Friday with cooler temperatures for the weekend.

Hoping to get some putting practice in this evening with the Titleist test balls, then final rounds over the weekend, to be able to post an accurate assessment of how they performed for me next week.

Make your day the best it can possibly be, and hope that something enjoyable is in your plans.

[ejgaudette]

Good morning all!

Another day of work ahead, nothing too exciting just the same old same old there. Looking forward to getting the deWiz testing going as the device arrived. Should have some unboxing thoughts up soon on that front.

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

[Josh Parker]

Good morning!  

Up and at it this morning.  Coffee is in the cup and looking over a couple properties for a client.  Have a couple showings this morning on some condos and then heading back to the house to handle a few things.  It's a busy end to the week and if I want to get out and play some golf before going to the in-laws this weekend, need to get some work accomplished.

Plan to try and get out to the range and hit these new driver shafts later this afternoon.  

Hope everyone has a great day!

[ParFore74x]

Good morning and a happy Wednesday to all of you spies. Yet another amazing November day on tap with temps starting at 48° and will be working towards 65° today. I'm not a coffee guy so I’m starting my day out with chocolate milk and a side of sausage and eggs. It tends to put me on the right track to a great day.

I have a small maintenance project that I need to get done on the house this week and I think that today will be the day so no quick 9 after work. I did wash all of my clubs last night which was quite satisfying but I’m sure that I’ll dirty them up again in the next few days. Looks like the weather will be ok for me to play in the afternoons for another 5-6 days so I think I’ve got time for a little more golf this season.

Hope everyone has a splendid hump day! ️ 

[EasyPutter]

Good morning MGSpies from an almost 40F on the outside thermometer but the vehicles are frosting over Wednesday in WNY  due to 0% cloud cover  computer not sure it wants to connect to the network either  and coffee has to wait until I can go upstairs to get it  oh yay! only 2 restarts and 11 attempts to connect 

Golf this evening will be another speaking engagement for the WNY PGA REACH Foundation meeting and looking forward to that  HOPE golf is a part of my day and hope golf is a part of your day too!  (see what I did there?)

[CSiders12]

Good morning everyone! A slow and tired morning to start off my day. Today is the one day this week where I don't have something after work today, so I'm looking forward to getting to come home and relax. Early out for the students today, which means I get to spend part of the afternoon getting stuff done. I always look forward to Wednesday, and I'm hoping this Wednesday goes as well as the past few.

I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday too!

[Preeway]

Good morning everyone. Wednesday hitting me like a ton of bricks. Have a massage therapy scheduled for after work and that might be the only thing keeping me motivated to get through the day. Teaching partner has already called in sick so it’s gonna be a long day for sure. Gotta think like Dori if I’m gonna make it to Friday. 

Hope everyone has a great day ahead!

[BallsLeon]

Good morning spies 

Hard to believe it's only Wednesday, but gotta keep on trucking. Stayed up late last night watching the KU vs Kentucky game, and thankfully the Jayhawks rallied from behind to get the win!  Lots of basketball left in the season, but off to a good start.

Missed the "Netflix Cup", but might throw that on while I'm working today. Have seen at least one clip that could qualify for ESPN's "Not Top 10". 

Hope you all are having a good week, and @Preeway a proper professional massage sounds excellent right about now, enjoy!

[David Leighton Reid]

Good morning, Spies!  It is 42° and climbing with a high in the upper 60's today.  Absolutely great weather for November.  I  will be heading to the golf course soon!
