Good morning All, 

 

Have a great Wednesday!

[cksurfdude]

gm friends!

A little grey and gloomy here in advance if our forecasted soaker storm, but that's ok .. just another day of retirement to do wtf I feel like..!

@Dead Solid Bogey not sure what's funnier - your example of one of the laws of nature, or that you have to drive FOUR hours in South Texas to find vegan food!!  

Happy Wednesday everyone!!

Happy hump day Spies,

One cup down and one to go. Then walking our old pupper. Not a lot on the agenda today. I will get a run in though. Just purchased our tickets for our son’s destination wedding in Joshua Tree. I also started navigating the rules of being a wedding officiant in San Bernardino County, California. I need permission to do so and it’s only for one day. They said they would call me back.

Wishing all a wonderful day!

Hump day already? This week is moving by! Body feels good today after recovering from my trek on Sunday. See here for the story on that! Will hit some balls into the net later on. Anyways, enjoy your cup of joe and have a great day!

Good Morning Everyone!  A brisk 42º but sunny day (still dark now) ahead.  Physical Therapy in 45 minutes then oil change for my truck at 4pm.  In-between I see a trip to the course for practice and maybe 9-holes.  My wife is playing in her Ladies 4-club tournament.  

Don't work too hard for those still working, and those that aren't... play hard!

[ZoonORama]

Goooooooood Morning Spies!

Happy Hump Day!

Not a lot on the schedule today except a couple of meetings and some deliverables to get finished up. Decently good weather today in the 60s. Hoping to get the lawn mowed for the last time and all the small engines prepped for winter. Haven’t even started the motorcycle in about three weeks, so have to get it to the gas pump and primed with sea foam for the long slumber. I usually put it on a stand to get the wheels off the ground - then cover it completely after capping the exhaust and on the trickle charger.

Hoping to get to the range later today. I have no excuse…. it is 5 minutes from the house. 

Hoping everyone has a GREAT day today and can get out and play this weekend. I’ll be hitting the links with @snoopy79 Saturday. I think we are going to see who can lose the most balls out to the right…. at least that is my favorite direction.

Cheers

Good Wednesday Morning Spies!

Well another COLD Central Florida morning 55 degrees, but clear skies.  No golf today, up late cramming to complete continuing education by 10/31! 3 hours short of required hours. Finishing 2nd cup of espresso, ready for a 3rd. Loving new computer, back in civilization again, LOL! 

Prayers with @Dead Solid Bogey 

Have a Great Day Everyone!  Hit'em straight! 

[GolfSpy_KFT]

Good morning all and happy Wednesday! At a health fair today until around 3pm then have to head back to the hospital afterwards to teach an education class. Long day today of work as I'll be finishing up around 6pm, but one day closer to Friday and my round of golf with my uncle!

[Byrnzee]

Good morning all!

Happy hump day to all who celebrate. Already on my third cup of coffee this morning. Booked a swing evaluation for tomorrow evening because last night at the driving range I felt like a baby deer learning to walk for the first time. 

On the plus side, weather has been great the past couple days. Doesn't get much better than mid-60s and sunny in the Fall. 

Let's make today great

Morning, ladies and gents  

  Woke up at 5am this morning to make sure I got a good warm-up in before starting the Stack workout at 5:30 - nothing like realizing that the only real "me" time is when everyone else is still asleep  Felt great to be outside in the "cold" (for Los Angeles) morning air with the stars still out, swinging the ever-loving-hell out of a stick with a bright yellow ... thing on the end of it. Really loving the app, and as much as I don't LOVE getting up while it's dark, I love how I feel when I'm done with the workout. 

  Here's to a great Wednesday - more coffee for everyone

Morning spies!

can’t beat a good sunrise 

[barney_bogey]

Morning! Hotel view this morning from just outside our nation's capital. Really gotta invest in some of these Hilton pillows. A bit of heaven, they are.



Going to visit some of the golf shops in the area after the conference concludes.

Next time I travel, I must remember to bring a putter for the room. Could have used a distraction last night when sleep was hard to come by.

2 tee times in the next five days. Both at courses I haven't played before. Stoked!

Cheers

Good morning! Beautiful fall day here in Southern Michigan. I'm planning for a range session after work today to get outside for a bit. 

I just took advantage of the MGS Maxfli Tour golf ball code and got a couple boxes of Tour S balls. I'm hoping the lower spin helps keep my ball flight down. Everyone I've played with asks me how I'm hitting the ball so high and I found out in my last simulator session that all of my spin rates were excessively high. 

Have a good day!

Good morning to Spies in Pacific time.  I walked 18 holes this morning and wondered how in the h3!! can my game just ghost me.  I shot 85 with multiple double bogeys.  Hopefully tomorrow my game and I will reconnect.

Partially true, my friend, partially trueHere in the buffer zone / no man’s land between the Texas Riviera and The Hill Country; the vast, vast majority of our vegetables are fed to our food. We try our best to improvise. Like by having “ Bloody Maria’s “ garnished with Beef Jerky infused with Garlic and Jalapeño’s for the vegetable thingee.

Good morning everyone!

It's Thursday and I can feel the weekend upon us. I'm enjoying my coffee while listening to podcasts. The latest episode of NPG started playing and I don't know if it was my connection or they released the show with only half the conversation, but I was about to go crazy. 

I'm looking forward to the community call this evening. It should be another good one. 

I hope you all have a wonderful day!

Played yesterday, but season is defnitely winding down. Played well for the most part, but its colder and in truth I am just ready for this season to not be over but looking forward to not playing as much and working on some other aspects of my game. 

It was a great season and I am so happy to have shared it with the community this season. 

On a non golf note neither kid wanted to sleep last night so I ended up sleeping through about 3 alarms and thankfully got to work ontime to get things done, but really feel dragged. Raining today and this weekend so good time to relax a little bit get some other stuff done!

[ejgaudette]

Good morning everyone!

Already Thursday, feels like this week is flying right along. Had a good interview for our teams open position which is great. Otherwise the usual work ahead and all the kids are off at school today so busier morning getting everyone out the door. Oh and its a Stack day, hoping to keep up the speeds I had last time as I get back to the baseline I achieved at the end of Super Speed, so hoping the Stack keeps the needle moving there.

Have a great day everyone!

[Josh Parker]

Good morning!  Coffee in hand and ready to take on the day.

Good morning Spies on this Community Call Thursday. Have a lot to do at work, and numerous customer meetings, but the end of my regular scheduled work hours allows me to join the call before heading out.

Went to the course close to home and practiced on the range and putting green yesterday evening and hoping to get a couple rounds in this weekend.

Make your day the best it can be, no matter what may be in your plans, and I hope that some golf or fun activity is included too.

[RockerFCC]

Good Morning Spies,

Still, gonna be close to 60 for a couple weeks, might get some days in. Hit em if you can. Cheers

Good morning spies! Breakfast is done and the dogs have been out so now I can get ready for my work day. Been pretty busy at work lately which really takes it out of me. Spending more time sitting around at home than I should be.

I did get the lawn mowed yesterday, hopefully that’s the last time this year but might need one more. With all the rain that we received last week my lawn looks nicer than it has all year.

Hope everyone has an awesome day!

Good morning MGSpies on a should be a nice day for golf Thursday in WNY as the computers are going online for another exciting adventure in virtual workland  finished up the Lean Lock Putter Review and posted it well after midnight for a 1am bedtime, up at 5am so it is going to be a great day as I think I got more sleep than Jamie @GolfSpy_APH and thank you to Robert @rkj427 for the reminder it is Community Call day so expect to see you two gentlemen later today  from the course with tee time before call time and I will stream the play for Jason @sirchunksalot to get another round in this autumn!  Hope golf is a part of your day too 

 

[BallsLeon]

Good morning spies! 

Today is my Friday. Looking forward to the three day weekend with friends, and a couple rounds of golf. Weather looks perfect, mid 50s to low 70s.

And bonus, my weekly Thursday meeting has moved so I should be able to join the community call again!

Hope you all have an awesome day!

[CSiders12]

Good morning spies! It's supposed to be a beautiful day today, which unfortunately will be spent inside for most of the day. The week is moving quickly, so luckily the weekend will be here before we know it. I'm looking forward to a nice day and then a beautiful weekend. Let's make it a great day!

I hope you all have a thoughtful Thursday!

Good morning everyone. Day two of parent teacher conferences and it’s shaping up to be a loooooong day ahead. This was my first of several cooks for my staff. Got three pork butts finishing up on the smoker they I started at 10:00 last night. Got up at 3:30 to wrap them up in foil pans with my “secret sauce” and they should be ready to shred pretty soon. Did this for the first time last fall and I quickly became the requested cook for a few staff meals each year.  Last spring I cooked up 150 chicken drums on the smoker which were also a hit. Hope everyone got more sleep than I did. Gonna be a three to four cup of coffee kind of day. Cheers!
