Good Morning, not too much happening golf wise here in snowy Chicagoland, so I guess it's a day of FoootBall. This whole winter thing sucks. The good news is a sim may be in my future. Better late than never LOL

Good morning Spies,

Happy Sunday. Two cuppas down and errands run. It will be a relaxing Sunday. May get a bike ride in or may not. My wife and I went up to Lake Ontario yesterday. Explored an art sale where a friend of ours had her pottery on sale. Nothing struck us but we did commission a bowl with built in chopsticks holder. Can’t wait to enjoy some udon out if it.

The view from Ft. Ontario. 
 

Wishing all a wonderful day!

Good morning!  Snow on the ground, but it’s a great day to take the pup for a walk.

2005 club championship!! Was looking for a cord to charge a speaker and got sucked down the old picture rabbit hole!! 

[Fongle]

Had a phenomenal time following my guy Min Woo around the Aus PGA Championships yesterday, was incredible seeing him win. The guy strikes the ball unbelievably, and he feeds off the crowd hyping him up so much. Got some cool slow-mo clips of his swing, and it's just poetry in motion. Currently -very- sunburnt despite nearly bathing in sunscreen, but still wildly happy with the experience overall. Still surreal seeing myself pop-up in highlight clips of his weekend in posts from the PGA Tour Aus and DP World Tour pages.

Nope, we have a virtual golf lounge here. They have 3 simulator bays, one of which is a fitting bay where a few local CPGA pros do lessons and fittings out of

Good morning everyone on a way too early to work Monday! I had a four day weekend, but have to start an hour early today. I can say that I don't like when we have to do this, but am thankful for the time off 

It's a cool, beautiful morning here and the coffee is delicious. I'm enjoying a few moments of relaxation before walking in 

I hope y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and that you're week gets off too a good start!

[ParFore74x]

Good morning spies! Starting the day off at 17° with a projected high of 29° today. Four days off of work was definitely nice, need those more often. No real plans other than the work day today.

Hope everyone has a great Monday! 

[rkj427]

Good morning Spies on a brisk and snow flurry falling back to work Monday.

Flurries and some light snow yesterday made the commute a little longer than normal, but I don't need to go back out on the roads until later today.

It was great to have some time off during the long Thanksgiving weekend and spending time with family and friends.

Hope that your day is the best it can be, and it leads to the start of a great week ahead.

If golf is ibn your plans, may the enjoyment factor be high, and the scores low. 

[Josh Parker]

Good morning! 

Coffee in hand and busy day ahead.  

No golf on the agenda today as the course is closed but between showings, the wife's showings and kiddos there is plenty to do. 

Have a great day. 

[Rob Person]

Good morning MGS members...

2 of the guys for our foursome tomorrow had to back out. (At least it wasn't tomorrow morning!) So hopefully we get paired with like minded and patient players  (and similar handicaps too)

Other than that, today is filled with the excitement of getting tires mounted on the wife's daily driver, then home to rummage through storage to pull out all the Xmas decorations.  Then I have to yard sweep the pine needles so I can start setting up said yard decorations. 

[EasyPutter]

Good morning MGSpies from a bitter cold but not snowy (yet) WNY for this Monday after Thanksgiving  coffee is not yet ready and work computer still going online for a no-commute workday  this week should settle back into the normal routine with nothing except in-office day for work tomorrow and Community Call on Thursday, golf will be limited to Forum today, hope golf is a part of your day too! 

[Preeway]

Good morning everyone. The only downside to a whole week off from work is the moment you realize you aren’t actually retired and you do have to go back to work. Oh well, haven’t felt this rested in a while so I’m ready to get back at it. Only four weeks until  Christmas break. Coffee is in hand so all should be well. Hope everyone has a great day ahead. 

[CSiders12]

Good morning and happy Monday! Back to work on this cold Monday morning. Tough to get out of bed after sleeping in the post few days. Hoping the work day is a good one and the week starts off strong.

Have a mindful Monday!

[Coachbutt]

Good morning. Yesterday's rain brought good time to go through the bag for winter cleaning. Scrubbed grips tossed out balls that are scarred hot hands and mitts back in the bag. Set up Xmas tree with the brides direction. My sympathies to Ohio State fans. Great game. Off to the course in an hour,hope for a better Start than Sat. Might ride alone today and bring speaker on low of course for some BB,Clapton or any blues will do. Be well.

Cyber Monday, is front and center my friends… This is the second day of the Holy Trinity of Shopping; well at least according to my  “Shop, See, and Spend”  spouse. I don’t want to really know too much about this costly theology. I am of the “ignorance is bliss” school on this one. 
   Golf, yesterday was a Jekyll and Hyde round. On the front nine, I looked like I knew how to play and was at least of minimal credit to this community. However, moving from the ninth green to the tenth tee,  I must of somehow embraced a severe case of amnesia. I not only “boat raced” my handicap in three holes on the back,but had shipwrecked almost my entire game by the 16th hole. Whatever surviving elements of my game still existed, sank along with my drive on the 16th. I am sure that I have had a worse nine holes in my playing life, than this nine… But I am also sure I had the oxymoron decency to have been “ In my cups “ while playing that nine. 
   Well,  my respected fellow spies; while the bride person is busy on the computer/phone stimulating the “ worlds economy “ , I shall venture forth, undeterred and start over from square one on another exciting episode in the soap opera that is golf.

May our wallets, piggybanks, and other financial accounts survive the coming onslaught. 

[RockerFCC]

Good Morning, Happy Monday! It's 19 degrees, snow on the ground and there is no golf to be had here in sunny Chicagoland. But the good news is, it's Monday! 

I Know, I Know, just trying to find a bright spot in the darkness here 

Cheers all!

[ejgaudette]

Good morning all!

Back after the holiday stretch. Had some great time with family over the last few days, also lots of cleaning and had so shovel some snow. Kids have enjoyed that the past few days with some sledding and attempts at snow men. Finally, got some tree clearing done on the wood line around my house. Have some young beech trees that already have beech bark disease so taking them down when they are small. Have some slightly larger ones still to come but it looks a lot better. Now to keep up with it.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving if you celebrate! Have a great Monday everyone!

[MattWillGolf]

Happy Monday Spies,

Morning coffee going down nicely. I have a run workout on tap. My coach has a “speed” workout scheduled. Speed is used rather loosely where I am concerned.

Today is a blood donation day. To all who are able, I’d encourage that you donate. It’s so easy to do and it helps others in need. Oh and you get snacks when you’re done.  

Wishing all a wonderful day!

[GolfSpy_BEN]

Good morning All, 

 

Have a great Monday!

[Shrek74]

Good morning my fellow sleepy Spies!!

Man, that alarm this morning was just ugly and mean. After 4 days of getting up whenever the ef I wanted, that early morning alarm was painful. it's going to be a long 4 weeks.

[ZoonORama]

Good Morning All!

It is Monday…. after a bit of a rest (if you call traveling to see family and eating yourself into a coma rest), it is back to work. I have presentations to do today for the sales teams and engineers. Yay! (not). 

Hard to believe November is gone. Went to the range this past Saturday at the club and it was closed.    So, I traveled into town and found a heated tee range which was surprisingly empty but that was due to the OSU Michigan game being on. Best time to go apparently.

Today is National Craft Jerky Day - I will have to get the dehydrator out and start on a batch.

Have a WONDERFUL week everybody!

Cheers 

[cksurfdude]

Morning all!!

I'm a few days behind on reading thru posts but I'll catch up later. Off to a weird chiropractor for second visit .. he seems very nice and competent but the first visit was no adjustment and more like a Chiro 101 seminar .. all of which I already know all too well. Then later over to acupuncture .. where they do get to work on the old back right away.

Ha well anyway hope it's not too much of a "Manic Monday" for those in the work force....

Enjoy the day!!

[jbern]

Good Monday morning! We had a super busy Thanksgiving week going back and forth between my wife's and my families. Keeps us busy, but I wouldn't have minded a day to veg out a little bit. 

Today was very tough to get the kids around because they were expecting/hoping to keep playing with all of their cousins instead of going back to school and daycare. Not to mention we got a nice inch or so of snow throughout the day yesterday, so the back roads were a bit slick around my area. I was glad I put my winter tires on when it was 60* a couple of weeks ago.

I am excited for this time between Thanksgiving and Christmas at work. There's enough people in the office to keep the workload manageable, but there aren't many meetings!

Have a good day everyone!
