The Good Morning Thread

[CSiders12]

Good morning spies! I hope you are all having a wonderful start to your Monday. It's supposed to be a beautiful day today, however, the smog has blanketed eastern Iowa once again. Hoping that passes soon and we can be outside with no restrictions. 

I'm headed into work today to sub for summer school. I'm excited to get back into teaching as I haven't seen any students since May. It feels good to be excited about work. Hopefully, all goes well. 

Yesterdays tournament didn't go as well as I would've liked. My partner and I shot -1 with some silly mistakes and a bit of bad luck. I hard lipped out 3 birdie putts which was really unfortunate. My partner also had a bad day off the tee and struggled with their short game. The good news is, my game felt pretty good and I think I'm tending in the right direction again! Hoping to get out and play today to get back into full form.

I hope you all have a magnificent Monday!

Good morning Spies on a no commute work from home Monday here. Coffee already down, waiting on some computer systems to download some data required for todays work for me.

Played yesterday, and no plans to get out again until later in the week for me.

Weather here is sunny and high of low 80's with humidity hovering about 85 percent.

Still have rain in the forecast a couple of the week days, and smoke from Canadian wildfires impacting the air quality here as well in a negative way.

Hope everyone has the best day they possibly can have, and if golfing, hit them straight, not too often, but most of all have fun.

Stormy as s*** overnight, but should move out.  Though league looks like it may be sketchy tomorrow with more storms predicted (havnt checked timing yet).

Good thing I got the round in sunday.

Good Monday Morning Spies!

Nice Central Florida morning, before late afternoon rains.  No golf today, family in town.  Enjoying second cup of coffee.  

Have a Great Day Everyone!

Good morning all and happy Monday! Feels good to wake up and not have to go to work nothing really planned for today other than getting some landscaping done and then probably going to take the boys to a beach on a lake nearby where we live. Oldest has swimming lessons tonight at 6 and they are doing life jackets today and jumping off the diving board. He is super excited! Hoping to maybe sneak up to the driving range if I am lucky to keep putting the AJ Max driver against my TSi3. Played a few holes last night and it performed admirably again. Not as long as the TSi3 but I had more playable tee shots with it, and also didn’t have as good of strikes with it. Thinking if I can get my AOA dialed in and spin down, I can hit some big drives with the AJ Max

Good morning Spies 

Just got caught up here with my cup o Joe.  Waiting hubby to wake and we are headed to play 18.  Hopefully the pesky Canadian smoke won't be bad enough to shorten our game.  But it's like @EasyPutter and @Bsimpson24 said - overcast of smoke and being in the downwind of a camp fire.  What's the saying - Smoke follows beauty? Well lets hope that's my game today!!

Have a terrific day in whatever you do today!

Good morning everyone,

Finished up my first testing opportunity final review for the Callaway Paradym drivers last night and I must say I'm feeling pretty grateful.  What an amazing forum we have here with such great people.

Have a good start to your week everyone.

[StrokerAce]

Good monday morning spies!

A couple indoor projects today which i hope leaves time for a trip to the dump.  I have accumulated a large pile from the last few weeks that needs to go.

Almost done getting things settled here so i can head out.  I am optimistically scanning the forum to see if the evnroll putter testers have been chosen!

Morning Spies! Back to the office for a day then a 3 day work trip to Chicago. Back home Thursday night just in time for my wife to head out for a bachelorette party. July is a bit of a mess at our house

Good Morning everyone!!  Well, the the wind yesterday didn't start until late so it's still blowing now.  Good news is that the temps will only be in the 90's for the next couple of days before climbing back into the 100's.

Coffee finished, exercises start now, wife goes grocery shopping, then we mow the lawn.  Errands to run today, but that might put me near the course for some short game work.  I need to get my new 60º adjusted 2º flat like my old one was.  Amazing how much the wrong lie affected my shots this weekend.

Hope the flooding back east isn't seriously affecting anyone and golf courses are open... play well.

Buenas Dias mis amigos.  If we keep getting these 100+ days here I’m thinking it’s further south than Texas. Enjoy your week all.

GM & Happy Monday!!  We have a 7:00M Tee Time short cart ride away.  Had a few Thunderstorms rolled thru here yesterday so may be a bit sloppy.  Big group of guys this morning, good to see a couple of them back after medical issues.  Old Guy stuff.

We got the 9 holes in BUT ran into thunderstorms on way home.  Hit the ball fairly well even though greens in poor shape.

Buenas Dias… South Texas is more than willing to share the “ heat “ with any and all that would like to share.

Good morning spies! And happy Open week!

Settling down at work, and should be a slow day. Heading out a little early today for my first appointment with GOLFTEC. Today will be my Swing Evaluation, I hope it's not too brutal haha . Hopeful it will be a step in the right direction for some consistency in my game.

Have a good day everyone!

Like in the Santana/Rob Thomas song…its a hot one like 7 inches from the midday sun…

Good morning, Spies!

(It's barely still morning, but still counts!)

Had a great weekend, but no golf involved.  First match in a couple weeks is on tap for tomorrow, and hoping to get a bit of practice in today if I can.

The forum was really busy over the weekend, and trying to catch up in snippets around work!  So much good conversation going on.

Hope everyone has a great Monday!

[StrokerAce]

Great day to be in Michigan or Wisconsin or N Dakota... anywhere else looks like it could be not the best - except for that little tiny piece of NoCal that is 67... Weird...

[sirchunksalot]

Good morning everyone! It's going to be the last nice weather day this week as we've got rain coming in the rest of the week. I'm going to be getting out today to play the 4 club challenge after work.

I hope everyone has a great day!

[EasyPutter]

Good morning MGSpies on a smoky AQI Tuesday from downtown Buffalo sitting in the vehicle enjoy CloZee Evasion on Pandora sipping hot coffee before heading into the office. Golf Tournament yesterday was a fundraiser for Genesis Community College Cougars athletics and my foursome won the best dressed award.

Hey if you can't win you might as well look good no tee time for today and hope your day has golf in it

[rkj427]

Good morning Spies on this Tuesday morning. Looks to be a picture-perfect weather day here today, although I will be in my work facility getting some part inspection and analysis completed. That is what is on my agendfa workwise for the remainder of the week, along with daily data analysis.

Hope that your day is the best it possibly can be, and that some sort of golf activity is in your plans.

[Rickp]

GM & Happy Tuesday!  Coffee & fruit and out the door for a 7am Tee Time for a “beat the rain” 9 holes.  This course usually has great greens so looking for a decent putting morning.  
Everyone have a great day no matter what you do!!

[DoubleBogeyDad]

Morning Spies. On the road to Chicago shortly. Have a great one!

[IndyBonzo]

Good morning, Spies!

Sadly my game today was cancelled due to a minor injury to my playing partner. Overall the cancellation (not the injury)  is probably a good thing because I can focus on work, but still a bummer. 
 

Headed into the office early.  Will be a long, but hopefully productive day, followed by our monthly two-hour HOA meeting from 7-9.  (I’m on there to be a voice of restraint, almost solely.)  Writing this out, it sounds pretty awful.  Lol.  It shouldn’t be.  
 

Wishing you all fabulous Tuesdays.  Everyone golfing break 80 for me today please!

[ParFore74x]

Good morning spies and happy Tuesday!! Got the lawn mowed yesterday afternoon and then and worked on a little putting. Putting has been a slight struggle lately but it felt better yesterday so planning on 18 after work to check things out. Should be high 70s and sun today so I better get out and enjoy it.

Have an amazing day everyone!! ️

[Caddie1966]

Hot times, summer in the city, back of my neck getin dirty and gritty….

high of 106 forecasted today.  I’m gonna have to ride instead of walk this morning.  Hit ‘em straight all.
