 Almost had that elusive first hole-in-one

There's a support group...I mean forum thread for this. I took too long too find it.

Morning all.  Hope everyone’s weekend was great. We had a bit of a storm last night.  Hail about the size of tennis balls.  Waiting for the roof contractor to tell us if ours needs to be replaced.

This thread has become my go to thread first thing in the morning and I'll come back to it all throughout the day. I love hearing how everyone's day gets started off and there's so much positivity here. 

Agreed @sirchunksalot about the thread is the first thing in the morning! It's a great motivator as well!  I enjoy posting exercising in the morning & feel guilty if I don't exercise in the morning.  Great group of Spies!   Take care!

GM Y'all !!!!! Hope y'all had a great weekend and played well or got what you needed to get done- done.  I played relatively well for about 70% of the course- but made up for it with the remaining 30%.

Was that an INCREDIBLE putt or what? I thought Jim Nantz was gonna slip and say something else than what eventually came out of his mouth. I was so impressed that Tommy Fleetwood showed complete and 100% CLASS in his defeat( but then again, I'd expect nothing less from him). I'm really impressed that Nick Taylor made that putt. I'm still a firm believer in that "luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity". 

Hope y'all have a great day/week!!!!!

Spot on @Merlin1313, Fleetwood showed real class!! Felt bad for him vying for his first PGA Tour win! What an ending!

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 made a batch of wheat beer and used jalapeno infused honey in it, and apparently it turned out pretty good- I can say that cuz it definitely didn't last too long and the people that "helped" me drink it thought I needed to make a LOT more of it- to work on  my .......... um...... consistency and make sure it wasn't a one-off

Wti crude at $68/barrel Aug contracts.

Very good friend of mine used to trade energy futures and was on the floor of the Comex for a while before everything moved upstairs (electronic, off-floor, trading for the rest of you). Crazy market dude!!

Good morning! Took some recovery time from Mississippi to hang with family and it was lovely! Today is possible crappy weather! So no golf but man did I have fun in the swamp!

All I’ll say is that this middle aged guy was able to keep up with these young “bombers” while wearing slick soled no traction running shoes

All of this is true… although at the time I do believe you called yourself an “old guy” to make it burn a little more. 
 

Let it be know, Chris’s driving prowess is second only to his calfs!

Good morning everyone.  Back on land.  Seems I missed a lot… LIV / PGA Merger?!  Did not see that coming.

Hey Alan! Welcome back to the madness. Glad to see you again...

I’m a Tommy fan as well. Here he is on the practice green at the PGA Championship.

That's one of the many reasons he's one of my favorite golfers

Great pic- I'd really like to follow him for a round (or 6 or 7)

There was a video with Fleetwood & Shane Lowery playing a par 3 and they were trying to get a hole in one in 20 swings each.  It was entertaining & fantastic!! Instantly became a fan of both Gentleman!

Welcome back Alan! It's always good to hear from you and I'm glad you're back on land.

Definitely a distraction!!  He doesn’t play that bad for an 82 year old.  He just never shuts up.

Maybe he's got a lot to say and not a lot more time to do it.

I’ve been a Tommy fan for 5-6 years.  The guy acts like he would play with us and still be interested.  I bet he’s one of the best ProAm partners around.

He’s a really good guy and a lot of fun.  We play off each other pretty well and our Exec groups are about having a good time, he’s a real piece of work

Tommy is definitely one of my favorites to watch too. Hopefully he can get a win soon.

Good morning spies! It's a beautiful, cool morning here in TN and I'm just relaxing and catching up on all the forum activity that happened while I was asleep. 

I'm feeling good about the range session from yesterday and hoping the weather forecast holds true this week so we can get our weekly round in. I'm feeling good about my game right now.

I hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning, Spies!

I have my annual family golf trip next week, starting Wednesday, and the push at work to get things accomplished before then has already begun. So I have a busy day on tap today likely with no golf (except for speed training this morning). As always, the daydreams will sustain me.

FABWIFE and the dogs are out of town until later today. So our tomcat is taking advantage of this opportunity to sit on my chest and purr loudly in my ear as I write to you.  I am definitely not in charge.

I wish you all fantastic days.

The animals always rule the roost. I hope things go smoothly for you and the golf trip gets here quickly for you. It sounds like a good time.

Good morning MGSpies back in the same place the last good morning was made from the same downtown parking spot last week. Hot coffee in the mug  perfect for the start of the first workday after the epic long MGS Pinehurst Open adventure. 4pm tee time with rain in the forecast so might be one played alone. Hope golf is a part of your day

[Rickp]

GM & Happy Tuesday.  Up early and get things ready as daughter & 2 of the Gkids roll into town for rest of the week.  Gkids are 19 & 17 and high energy so will be keeping us busy.  I think daughter is checking on us and making sure we’re still OK to live on our own.  Yup we are!!
