GM everyone!  Decent day today; cloudy but high of 63º; it's 44º now.  Got some yard work this morning after my lawn was plugged yesterday.  Then sit in on the community call followed by our annual meeting with our tax accountant... he's 6'6" and a 7hcp.  His "little" brother is 6'8"... one of the reasons we chose their firm as our tax guys!    #intimidation

I just got another shipment (6 doz) of the Pros. My wife plays the Lime Drip and I play the Green Neon. You're correct on the durability of the coating on the green. After playing 18 I will notice a small 'nick' in the green coating - but it doesn't affect the surface underneath. My wife doesn't have the issue with the Drip and I haven't noticed any issues with the white, which I've played extensively. 

It’s uh even worse if you smoke a cart path or a tree, not that I have ever done such a thing.

I might need to grab some damn limes again.  I refuse to play just plain white balls anymore.

Rick Moranis is one of my all time favorites. Such a compelling story. So non-Hollywood.

Headed out the door, got my new waffle fleece on. This will be my Ryder Cup viewing outfit for sure. Look like a golfer, play like a golfer? That's the theory, we'll see.

That's my game face. Very serious.

GM, after coffee and something for breakfast have to drop cart off at the garage.  Driver seat belt not working properly and have some noise coming from motor/drive that doesn’t sound healthy.  
They do give loaner carts while your cart is being worked on but they are older Club Cars that are unsafe at any speed, they are nasty.

Huh ho the noise issue doesn't sound good. Gas cart right??

No, Lithium.  Couldn’t find it, I think it’s motor.  Got a get together with the Big Honcho next week.  At least it’s nothing serious and everything is still under warranty.

GM! Happy Friday to all of you! I'm relaxing in my primo parking spot drinking my morning mug of motivation. I had a good time on the community call, which is becoming the official start to the weekend for me. I'll be working again tomorrow helping out with finish or setting up our line for 51 jobs per hour. 

The good news is, next weekend is blacked out for any work so I'm trying to arrange a round with some of the guys from work. Now I've just got to hope the weather is going to be nice.

GM, coffee & out the door with a Exec 9 with Bacon Boyz, always a end of week treat.  Exec this morning at least has 2 par 4’s and some par 3’s are longish with water carry so that a plus.

Morning all!

Cold morning but temps are climbing tomorrow (rain though) jnto next week with a lot of sun and 60-70 during the day. Booked a round for Thursday! Hopefully get some numbers to contest in the virtual league finally!

Workout done lots of stretching today much needed. Quiet day at work and ready for the weekend!

[EasyPutter]

Good morning from a not frosty WNY on this Friday and last day of March.   Hot coffee in the mug way too hot for anything but sips and a crazy forecast in these parts through the weekend with April showers not waiting to be fools.

Hope your day has golf a part of it  and not going to wish a good weekend because I expect like me you will be here straight through to Monday

Good morning and Happy Friday all!  Raining here in MN.  Was supposed to snow 6-8" today but I think its just a bit too warm so that is good for getting the courses open soon!  We will see.  

 

 

[GolfSpy_APH]

We have had rain, hail, sun, a bit of snow and just about everything else today except fog. Crazy weather day, but had a fun time talking with a local independent fitter which I will have a little article/recap on soon enough!

I am sure you have said, What part of MN are you from?  I thought you said the cities somewhere but I can’t recall what town. 

Hopefully it stays warm and the snow goes away, You guys have had a long winter and I think a record amount of snow.

Morning Folks

 

just getting moving this morning, haven’t had coffee or even started that process. Gotta scrub my teeth first. Not a lot on my docket just yet as far as work goes, but planning seems to be a lost art these days. 

 

Indoor golf for me this weekend as its supposed to be raining all weekend. 

 

Have a fantastic day all. It is a beautiful day to be +12

Yeah that’s moving into the Midwest here this afternoon.  Hoping to have my car back in my garage by then.

Good morning everyone, love a good Friday with some sunny weather and more snow melting today. Hope everyone has a great day!

Good morning and happy Friday! One month (28 days) left until retirement. (Not that I'm counting.) Catching up on email and the news. Just enjoying a cup of coffee. I do like this new thread. It's a way to ease into the day. I did enjoy that yesterday was Opening Day in the MLB even though my Giants lost. Aaron Judge picked up where he left off, a homerun on his first swing of the bat. I'm eagerly awaiting my home course to reopen for the season. A year ago, at this time it had opened up, but we were blessed with a bit of snow night before last. 

Wishing all a most pleasant weekend.

I was born In Cloquet, but my parents moved us to Northern Wi when I was 5 or 6. I worked in the cities when I was 19-20 for big underground fuel company. I was there the Halloween storm in 91. Locked in the house for 3 days.

TGIF!  No golf tomorrow, but I will be smacking the white nugget around on Sunday.

[Triple_Putt]

Good morning all!  Late start for me as ended up working till 2 this morning.  Going to ease into the day and see what happens.  Sun is shining and the coffee is hot, hope its a great day for everyone

GM Y'all!!!! It's FRIDAY/PAYDAY it's already 65* the wind is still blowing though( supposed to stop this afternoon), my NEW DRIVER came in yesterday and my "like new wedge" is supposed to come in today( I'm thinking that I definitely deserve to be in the CHA's category). I've got a tee time for tomorrow mornin' to check them both out!!!!! I'm still jealous of the ones out golfin'(F&Gs) but the rest of us got this..........

[skraeling]

This seems less than ideal.

As a fellow Cuse area native, let me give you an early congratulations on retirement Matt.  Hopefully lots of low rounds in your near future.

Morning Motlëy Crüe,

Got into the office early today to get some shots up.  Trust me, I know that I'm super spoiled to have a CEO that loves the game so much and built this

Starting to think my fitted clubs are a little too upright as I've pretty much gotten rid of the slice that used to kill me and now hitting pull hooks, but that wasn't really my concern today.  Just sipping a coffee and enjoying some peace before a busy Friday.  Cheers
