Happy August Everyone... wait... August?  Really?  

Yep... definitely August.

Looking forward to getting out the sweater for the cool down next Monday.

Have a GREAT day everyone!!

When are you getting out of the heat and coming up to PNW where it's only 97-102º??

Top of the pot spies .  Morning's the past few weeks have been a bit different for us.  Because its been near 90F lows, and we have a 5 year old yellow lab (River), who's human mother is crazy caring about him, we've been platooning 0500 giddie-up's to take him out for walks before the sun rises .  It's not really that bad since our tee times are (except my Monday group) between 0630-0730... but I'm already looking forward to cooler morning's.

@Kenny B, take a break and don't make things worse for your wrist.  I'm still thinking our core group can pull off the 5th Annual PNW Spy Meetup so as not to break the run.  Heck, I'll drive or fly somewhere if that's what it takes.

Can't seem to get any traction with the PDX guys.  We are passing through on Sunday Aug 20 after attending a wedding and said we would stop and play. but so far no takers.  

Maybe when @GolfSpy TCB gets here, we can arrange an outing with @Thin2win

I am hopefully planning a fall trip to visit family... It wouldn't take much to convince me to carve out an extra day or 3 for some Spy Golf  .  Rest up that wrist Kenny, I want you to be 100% when I come!

Morning everyone. Well, had a day where firing my best round of the year was in sight but my putter got stage fright. Had a handful of looks at birdie from 10-12 feet but only managed to make one. Not going to complain about a 77 but that’s twice this year I’ve had chances to break par but couldn’t do it. It’s encouraging to know I’m close so the grind continues and more range time is coming to iron out a few wrinkles. Until then, just going to sip on my coffee and catch up on the interwebs.

Morn all!

Well, not morning here, but you know. Off and on rain. Mostly on. Trying to dry some things before folding them up and storing them away, but alas the rain keeps coming.

my right wrist; been bothering me

Theraband wrist roller ... works wonders! Good for grip, forearms and tennis/golfer's elbow, too!

[Rick Bouchard]

GM all!

Serious debate in my head if I could possibly play leagues tonight. Hurting somewhat less than a couple days ago, knowing I'm going to swing for the fences (beer influenced!) What to do???

Anyways, I hope everyone has a great day!

Mornings are good when one actually gets a restful sleep.

 

forum… you ok?  Why’d you flip my image?

Good Late Morning Spies! 

Walked 18 holes this morning at 7am. Nice WARM Central Florida morning too! I've never had to play with two gloves in the summer. But this year, I'm finding having to wear gloves on both hands because of sweating so much.  Interesting.  Played well today, really liking the Titleist T200 Irons.  Now it's back to work, having a cup of Espresso (maybe two). 

Have a Great Day Everyone! Hit'em Straight!

Good thing I’m on my phone right now, flipping the laptop to look at that picture might be cumbersome.

You need to add some humidity to that temp and make the heat index 110* like in Fl.

Well, we did.  How's 43% this morning and 15% at 6pm tonight?  Is that good enough for you?

43% that's wimpy humidity - I'm thinking more like 70%

... Haha 43% this morning here too but dropping to 21% by the time I tee off at 3pm. At 108* even 21% humidity is a little uncomfortable.

Good morning all! It's a beautiful Wednesday morning here and I'm enjoying my coffee before heading into the plant.

I hope everyone enjoys their day!

Good morning Spiers on this "hump day" from the Motor City area. Earlier start to the day than normal for me dealing with an issue in the personal life, not work related.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going, or we never get more than we can handle.

Headed into work, knowing what needs to be done there will actually make it easier to deal with and get through the day.

Made tee times for Friday and Sunday, and hoping the good weather holds out to be able to play.

Make your day the best it can be, and if golf is in your plans, make it the most enjoyable round you could possibly have, no matter what you may end up with for score.

Good morning spies!

Up way too early to catch a flight, waiting at the terminal now. First time being in the newly redone KC airport, big improvement! Heading out to Lake Tahoe for the week. Never been, but it looks beautiful and lots of outdoor activities. Playing golf next Monday at Lake Tahoe Golf Course, should be a lot of fun.

[ParFore74x]

Good morning spies and a happy Wednesday to you all. Temperature is already at 72° and should get up to the upper 80s today with very little chance if any rain. Taking the clubs to work with me in hopes of getting a round in this afternoon.

Hope everybody has a wonderful day!
