Hope that they find the cause and get you on a path to getting the feeling back sooner rather than later.

Congratulations Bill, @William P, always enjoy your comments and posts here and on the Community Calls.

Thanks, gotta get this issue resolved or at least not as severe.

A fine good morning to all.  Have a PXG fitting this morning to try the new gen 7 irons. Looking forward to that.  Yesterday’s round was a weather adventure, featuring rain, then hail and finally sleet.  

 Felt like the UPS guys motto, neither snow, nor rain, nor gloom of night will stop me from the completion of my round. Have a great day. 
 

90% of Canada is in the same boat as you, weather wise...

Belated good morning, Spies! Left Raleigh and drove an hour-ish south to play that Davis Love III course I mentioned yesterday. It was breezy and in the 50s and I had the course to myself, except for a couple who I let play through because I was in no hurry. I walked and used my push cart, but the hills wore me out and I stopped at the turn. But what a front nine it was!

I had suspected it was one of those tree-lined housing development courses, and I was correct. Fairways none too broad. But I kept putting a little baby draw in play off the tee! Hit 5 of the 7 fairways and 4 GIRs including both the par 3s, with a 7 wood that I somehow got to check up on #7. Made three pars, would have made four except for a 3 jack on 7. Even with two 3-jacks and a double on 9 from fatigue, I shot 43 and actually lowered my handicap by a smidge.

Next time I'm getting a cart when I go there. And I'm going to keep playing the Maxfli Tour; ain't no way that 7-wood stops on the green with my old Srixon balls. I'll have to go by Dick's tomorrow and get another box.

Good afternoon all on a busy start to my Wednesday! First hard frost of the year last night with temps dipping to 25  but highs will start climbing to the 60s/70s tomorrow through Monday. Have a noon tee time booked for Friday as some longer days to start the week are going to afford me a half day of work. Also hoping to play on Sunday as time is now fleeting to get on the course.

Next weekend is our trip to Jacksonville for the Packers game and a round of golf, so want to make sure I get a good amount of play and practice in before heading down there!

Try and get some photos of the "changing colors" there when you play on Friday and Sunday for the southern Spies, especially @Josh Parker.

It should be prime time for viewing the changing colors there at this time.

We are almost to the peak "colors" week. With the hard frost this morning, it could happen this weekend. Colors in the hills and bluffs are already looking great.

Just realized I have reached 2K posts in the Forum this morning. Still a few weeks to go for my 1 year anniversary of joining MGS. Never would have thought I would get this active or involved in the Forum when I joined but I am enjoying every day and have met some wonderful people here!

Congratulations on the milestone! It's been a pleasure having you here and getting to know and interact with you.

Thank you and looking forward to hearing how the Newtons perform for you!

My Arccos account deleted itself when I re-paired some clubs… quite annoying and solidifies my deletion of the app.

Hey ya'll!

I hope everyone's day is going well! A bit chilly here, but an awesome opportunity to try out the Galway Bay products that just arrived! Super pumped to use them. Headed up to Linville GC this weekend for some on-course videoing and review opportunities as lows will be down in the lower 30s. Check out my unboxing and first impressions below! 

Have a great rest of the evening! Looking forward to the CC tomorrow!

I was just thinking about Arccos last night. I'd like a good data source for my rounds, but if it's a PITA... Another consideration is that I ease the load on my back by attaching a ball retriever to my putter grip so I don't have to bend over and pluck the ball out of the cup when I finally get there. Don't think the Arccos putter sensor would work with that.
