Morning Spies and Happy Friday! That is all 

[CSiders12]

Good morning all and happy Friday! In laws coming into town today. Excited to see them and spend some time with them this weekend. Once again, it's supposed to be really hot today - 100°+ which makes it unbearable. Planning to spend the day inside and get some work done. 

Golf tomorrow and a handful of times next week. Looking forward to some nicer weather and good golf. But first, let's make it through this Friday. 

Have a fantastic Friday!

Good morning Spies on a zero-commute day for me here in Michigan. Hot, humid, and a good day to stay indoors in air conditioning or in the basement, as it will be in the mid to upper 90's. Was hoping to only work 1/2 day or summer hours, but an ugly issue reared it's head again from a manufacturing plant, and now I am hoping NOT to work all weekend. 

Hope that wherever you are you can beat the heat and make your day the best it can be.

If golf is in your plans, hit them straight, not too often, and have fun!

Good morning all and happy Friday! No work for me today so teeing it up at 8:30 and taking the boys out with me. Going to be wet as we got a thunderstorm last night, so that paired with the humidity should have greens playing pretty receptive. Going to be another steamer here today, upper 80s by 10am so we should just beat the extreme heat, then temps should get back closer to normal tomorrow.

Good Friday morning, Spies!

Good Friday Morning Spies! 

Cloudy but warm Central Florida morning. It may get into the 90's today, which is odd to say for a July Florida day.  Slight chance of rain expected late this afternoon.  May get in 9 this afternoon, after Ranger gig.  Have a to break in new T200 Irons!! Yee haa! 

Have a Great Day Everyone! Hit'em straight!

18 this morning….. Then big, so big, so hugely big afternoon. I am taking the two little bonus grandsons out for a late lunch on my own.  This is big because I am the neighborhood ancient ager anti-role model. Parents point to me when wanting their offspring to know what can befall those little people if they take after me. The parents are busy with getting the older two ready for fall sports, so I am the closes thing to a “real” adult that is available. The wife person is off socializing and solving the world’s problems. Was given a list of what the littles can and cannot have. In keeping with my image and reputation, will NOT be adhering to that list. If this turns out to be my last post, then I fell victim to maternal rage and revenge by the bonus grandma/ wife person.

MAY get into the 90's?? It's been in the 90's everyday  in the Tampa since late May with heat index around 100+ . And August isn't even here yet. Yikes! 

[Preeway]

Morning everyone. I survived the scorching heat yesterday playing 18 in high 90s and low 100s. Luckily there was a gentle breeze which helped prevent my son and I from completely melting on the course. Another round coming Monday morning and then league Wednesday night before heading out of town Thursday for our guys weekend. Hope everyone is enjoying their coffee as much as I am. Bring on the weekend.

Good Morning everyone,

It's been a long few weeks over here.  Just a lot of life hitting me recently, but tough times don't last tough people do.

Now that the Callaway Paradym test is over, I might take the rest of the summer to do an unofficial test of the TM Spider GTX I got earlier this year.  Is that something anyone would be interested in? It's been pretty dang good for me so far but haven't seen too too much info on the forum about it

[cksurfdude]

So my good morning post today is that today was not a great morning .. starting at 1 am...

Poor old poochie had another anxiety(?) attack and starts barking/whining to go out .. get up, go downstairs, let him out, let him have some yard time, he seems ok, call him in, give him two more CBD treats (he gets two at bedtime), go back upstairs...

..get settled into bed and .. yep .. more barking starts... Wife volunteers to take over and ends up staying on the couch to keep him company...

The things we do for our pets, right

Anyway hope the rest of you are well rested and are taking on your day today!!

If you review it, they will come…

There isn’t too much that is golf-related, that I’m not interested in.

so fire away!

Oh ohh.. hope everything works out for the best

And after things settle down and the temps moderate a little and my stoopit shoulder gets a little better .. we'll work on setting up our Clash Of The Paradyms (but c'mon really we already know the huge odds on favorite here ).

[russtopherb]

Good morning all! I'm 2 coffees in, and work is absolutely bonkers right now, in a good way thankfully. I have a big decision to make here so the next few days are going to be spent putting together some plans and pondering what to do. Hopefully I'll be able to get out for a round on Sunday when the "feels like" finally drops below 100. Have a great Friday all!

All good Chuck, I appreciate it!  Definitely a must! And I think it will be much closer than you might think

Beautiful hot and very humid morning, but it is summer and I wish I could capture some of this warmth for the winter 

Uneventful planned day today. Wrap up work and get home for a nice swim and grill. Ready for the weekend!

Moved the camper yesterday afternoon to its home for the long term. Works out perfect in the yard and very happy with how the stone driveway came out. Where it was before I stuck out halfway into the road when hooking up to tow. Plenty of room now I can load up the day before we leave and have it all ready to go hooked up. Very happy with the final result.

Love the T200’s. When I bought me Sub70’s the T200’s were my other choice.

Happy Friday,

Hot day on tap today! Cleaning up the yard after last night's T-Storm. Heading to long lake tonight and getting ready for the family camping week starting next weekend!!!

Have a great weekend

Good morning Spy's,

Well, the BC Men's senior and super senior championship is in the books, 3 days of fun, very competitive golf, I finished stronger with rounds of 73 on Tuesday, and 72 yesterday, I guess I won't be quitting and starting a horse farm quite yet lol..

I started out day one tied for 58th after a bad 79. After finishing with 73 on day two and 72 on final day I moved up tied 20th. 

Always learning and trying to figure this crazy game out lol...

Have a great day everyone...

[tdroma98]

Congrats @Jim Shaw way to come back!!

I can see why you like them @JFish350.  Love the look of the clubs! Was considering the T100S, but wanted a bit more forgiveness & more of distance.

It's weird when weather had 89 as high in Orlando, this morning. It's 91 right now & quite humid.

Weather forecasters get paid the same even if they're wrong.

... I used to play with the #1 rated TV meteorologist in Chicago. I asked him with all the technology available to him how accurate are his predictions? 

... He said with the Canadian jet stream always changing in both speed and direction, and hitting any southern flow of warm air AND being on the shores of an ocean sized Lake Michigan and depending on what time of year?

He could predict a very accurate forecast for the next hour
A reasonably accurate forecast for later in the evening 
About a 50% chance of getting the next day correct
No clue about a 5 day forecast because everything always changed by then

... So he did away with the 5 day forecast and the station got so many immediate inquires as to why as well as angry complaints, he had to bring it back the next day. So he often just made up the 4th and 5th days forecast depending on whether he was playing golf that day!

Well, things are finally starting to get back to normal after starting my new job at Edison Golf. I should start being able to come back to this thread daily again! Hope you all had a great morning and an even better weekend! I'm playing 18 in Tennessee this weekend, @sirchunksalot have you ever played Wild Laurel in Townsend?

I haven't ever played there. The only course I've played up near there is the Gatlinburg Municipal that has the par 3 where you tee off something like 150 feet above the hole. 

I hope you have a good time there and let us know how you do.
