The Good Morning Thread

[StrokerAce]

decided to step on the scale today for fun. I don't really get caught up in numbers and really could care less what it says. I'll know if I feel good or not and my body will tell me.

nevertheless, noticed I'm down 11 lbs from my "winter weight" and was a little surprised. Been playing hoops twice a week for a couple hours each time and exercising daily for the last 3 months and happy to see it's helped. 

now if that can only translate to my golf game I'll be good....

Good morning, I feel your pain @MattWillGolf being just over the Pennsylvania line from you.  In the picture above you should see the Alleghany Mountains but the Canadian wildfires have them blocked out.  Stepping outside is like walking into the full windblown smoke - tough breathing outside.  Might reconsider golf league as I tend to react to smoke with my lungs shutting down, losing my voice and struggling to do anything physically until I can get get lungs opened back up.

G'Day all!

Wanted to go practice today and prep for NC trip but even just a short time outside in the yard earlier convinced me *not* to -- definitely feeling it in the back of the throat and down into the lungs now... 

The smoke started wafting into our area almost two days ago, but today is the worst so far .. and getting even worse as the day goes on...

..looks like a scene from a sci fi flick out there!!

So some indoor putting, I guess, and catch up on forum stuff and reviews.

Hope everyone's day goes well!

We are further south and are getting a whiff of smoke outside today.  So far its not so bad as ro cause breathing issues.

Good luck at the Dr visit

Thanks, I’m done don’t have to go back.  He usually wants to take one more look in another 6 months but he said it was up to me, everything looked great.  Any problems just call him.  He gets a birthday present!

Yay!  Congratulations on the release @Rickp!  I'm sure there was a lot of therapy work on your part to get it.

Thanks again and yes physical therapy was tough but necessary.  Those men & women are very good.  I had a few of the therapists from my shoulder surgery 5 years ago so I had a high confidence level.

Yeah getting worse outside this afternoon .. thicker, darker and now unmistakeable smell of burnt wood .. Wednesday Night League at my course cancelled too.

Tomorrow may be even worse AQI wise...

It's always nice when the Doc says ok - when I got released after my hip replacements, I was immediately back on the range and doing tons of walking to get back

Good morning everyone! I'm getting ready to head in to work and drinking my coffee to get motivated this Thursday morning. I've got a tee time scheduled this evening at Brainerd. I'm really looking forward to getting out and playing.

@Rickp, it's good to hear about the positive results from the Doctor's visit yesterday. 

I hope those of you affected by the wildfire and smoke stay safe.

Good morning, Spies!

Congrats on the good news @Rickp!

Off to the gym and a crazy workday.  It’s good to be busy. 
 

Did the scheduled speed training last night.  Other than that, no golf for me until maybe the weekend.  Sad but true.  

Have a great day all!

Good Thursday morning everyone! Unfortunately any golf plans yesterday were rained out so still hopping to squeeze in an irons only round for the Edel testing. Though the rain is helping with any smoke we had in this area which is nice, but yes hope everyone stays safe. Saw some pictures from NYC and it was crazy to see. I hope everyone has a great Thursday!

[rkj427]

Good morning Spies, hoping that this is my last full day of work this week, so I can get a round in tomorrow afternoon before we see rain on the weekend.

Full plate schedule at work to make that happen today, and hoping to possibly join the weekly call later this afternoon if possible.

Have a great day, make it the best it possibly can be.

Morning all! Cloudy weather still here, been well over a week of garbage weather. Little on the warmer side today so hopefully get something in this afternoon, play it by ear.

Serious FOMO going on with everyone headed to the golf weekend today and tomorrow

[CSiders12]

Good morning spies! A brisk 52 degrees here this morning in Iowa with highs around 80. Had a really busy day yesterday, so today I have more of a relaxing day. Getting ready to take the dog for a walk and then will head out to the course to play a quick 9 holes. I hope everyone in the Northeast region is staying safe with the smoke from the fires. Hopefully it clears soon and everyone can resume normal daily activities. Have a great Thursday!

[Ben Joest]

Good morning All, 

all that stands between me and 18 holes is this continuing obligation for a paycheck, should go by quick. Have a great Thursday!

Good morning, Spies

Good morning all, cool 46 degree morning here in Wisconsin. Early start to the workday for another trial run of our new HRA/biometric screening process. Trial #1 went well on Tuesday but had a few wrinkles, so we are aiming to work those out today. No golf on the agenda most likely for today after playing 9 with my boys yesterday, but might try to play a dew sweeper round with a buddy on Saturday morning. We will be staying home this weekend to get our garage organized (moved into the house in December and still have not done much with it, lol). Chances of spotty rain all weekend, but should be able to get on the course one way or another. Keeping my fingers crossed for a shipping notification from Cobra soon so we can get that challenge rolling. @chisag, @sirchunksalot & @CFreddie have all been working with the new clubs and to say I am excited to get mine is an understatement.

Good Morning,

Another cloudy day but a bit warmer. Hope that is a good sign!!! This weather for the past 5 days is killing me, "I NEED SUN". Looking forward to getting my MGS Jones bag today from Bryan and trying it out for 9 at Shining Rock this afternoon. Hope you all have a great day!
