Good morning all! Got about 6 hours left in the ride back from NC this morning. 
 

having some breakfast and then we will be hitting the road. I’ve got to say I had a such a good time down there with some good spies and look forward to future events. I’ve got a lot to update with more photos, round recaps, and Edel updates, but that will have to wait until I’m home!

until then here’s on of my favorite photos from the weekend. It’s @Getoffmylawn with some nice form hitting his approach shot.  if you look closely up ahead you’ll notice my drive up ahead on the right of his about 15-20 yards past. 😉

I have to tease Hayes because most of the time he was well past my drives, so I took advantage when I could do that so I could win an internet argument. 

what a great post.. nice move for sure and nice drive by you...

Good morning "spy's" 

I need to talk about how important this win by Nick Taylor is for Canadian Golf and our sport. 

I don't know if you have heard but we are a hockey country, but we love golf. We play golf, yes  90% of the country doesn't golf until May long weekend but once the courses open, we golf, we talk golf, we drink golf and we dust winter off and play golf.

It is such a family game in Canada, we talk about our parents playing golf, our grandparents playing golf and our great grandparents playing golf. We talk about our siblings playing golf, I guess you get the point.

In my mind there is one person that ignited this batch of great Canadian golfers and thank you Mike Weir for winning the 2003 Masters. This batch watched that and somewhere deep in their consciousness it triggered they could play this game at a hight level.

And Golf Canada. Now I wasn't in the room when a group of "golfers" said,  and I am supposing this not quoting this "we develop elite hockey players in this country why don't we put a plan in place to develop elite golfers in this country" And that is exactly what they did. I believe the man they tasked for this is Doug Roxburgh, Canadian golf hall of fame recipient and my friend.

Anyway I will never forget "where I was" when that 72 foot putt dropped..

Have a great day everyone...

With all the great young Canadian players I'm thinking they will all be shooting for the 2024 Presidents Cup in Montreal.  Canada should be well represented.

Good Morning everyone!  It's a rest day for my thumb, so no golf.  Instead I'll be taking apart the gutter downspout on the front of our house... that should hurt be fun!  The last heavy rainfall showed that the downspout is blocked, probably from roofing debris left over from the new roof that was put on last fall. An YES that means I'll be on a ladder!!  😬

Top of the pot spies ☕. Another week with four rounds on the schedule.  My exercise routine and post round heating bean bag seems to be keeping the bearing greased.  Finishing up our second cups of coffee and watching this guy who visits this spot in the morning sun pretty regularly.  We think he lives inside or under our hose reel box.

Time for a couple of huevos and toast.  One of my fishing buddies showed me a way to cook/poach eggs that require no butter/oil in a non-stick pan, never get burned, and brain dead easy to get that perfect solid white and flowing yolk 👍.  Add some Tapatio, salt and pepper... voila. 

eggs.jpg.588a47206e00bbfb5c837f8b9fb7db3f.jpg

1107 tee time today at Desert Springs.  The good thing about our Monday later tee times is that its a bit more conducive for having a beer or two afterwards.  Have a great day everybody.

Thought that sauce looked familiar- I've got it by the gallons at the house🤪 and the eggs look really good too-

Good morning fellow spies. Getting in my daily dose of caffeine while preparing for the necessary ingredients to brew some beer later today. Took about 6 months away from brewing when life got busy so excited to get the system fired up again. Any other home brewers among us? Play league on Wednesday and then Fathers Day events all weekend starting on Friday night. Not as much golf in the forecast but it's gonna be a fun one none the less.

I haven't home brewed in quite some time. I used to constantly in our old house, where I had a great spot to let everything ferment properly. 

My last batch maybe 4-5 years ago was a nice firecracker ale, where I included a pound of red hot candies during the final boil. It was a huge hit at our summer cookout.

I was a home brewer many years ago when I lived in San Francisco. Our Home Brew Club was the San Andreas Malts. Anchor Brewing back in the day would host the Home Brewers competition for the west coast. I used to volunteer to help organize it. It was a lot of fun we had free access to the brewery. Anchor was gracious enough to open their taproom to everyone at lunch time. It’s sad to see what’s become of Anchor Brewing since Sapporo bought them. They will stop shipping out of California and will no longer produce their Christmas Ale.

Love Hockey! Stanley Cup just wrapped up.  Your hockey players are into the golf world as well.  This is one of my favorite pictures of the Stanley Cup!  You might recognize your fellow Canadian Alex Pietrangelo.  He had brought the Cup home to play around with it in 2019! He even tried to Bank a putt off it on one of the greens! 😍

The forum is 🔥 this morning!

I hope everyone had a great weekend, and it was great to follow many of the Spies on their trip to Pinehurst.

No golf for me this past weekend, but really looking forward to playing with my Pops this upcoming weekend in the Father-Son Tournament at his course.  Makes me smile every chance we get to play together.

Have a great start to your week everyone.

... regular/non-hazy IPA on Wednesday. Not really a west coast style but more like Bell's Two-Hearted

Nice! ...you're talking my happy hour lingo there 👍🍻

There's a fun store not too far from me - old time hardware store (tall shelves, narrow aisles, stocked with a little bit of *everything*) .. then a home brewing shop in the middle (with all kinds of parts and gadgets) .. and then a gun shop in the back.

Haven't gotten into home brewing myself, though - I'm happy on the consumption side 🤪 and golf is my expensive hobby!
