The Good Morning Thread

[Hobert]

Good morning! Its going to be beautiful here today (high of 76) and tomorrow (high of 83). Unfortunately, I won't make it out to play/practice. returned yesterday from meetings in NYC, have too much to do today, and tomorrow is my wife's birthday. On the literal bright side, Sunday is supposed to be sunny with a high of 77 so....

GM Y'all- This weather we've been having recently is very reminiscent of Scotland. Just waiting for the critters to form up in 2s and start wandering toward some ark that I'm sure is being built SOMEWHERE. On the plus side-it'll make the greens more receptive this weekend and help the courses grow up to be strong and healthy (unfortunately- that also includes the rough). For those playing today- I'm envious- but hope you find nothing but fairways and greens (and a few extra balls if yours happen to go errant). We got this

Morning all! Well wasn't that email about the upcoming test this morning special! Looks like Testing is back - for real! I'm super excited to see what other tests will be coming down the line. Good luck to everyone that applies. 

I've got a 1:40 tee time - golfing with my wife. Weather = 80's, blue skies, low winds, but the allergy count is high . Played like cr*p yesterday in a league team net scramble. Couldn't drive, chip or putt - just felt off. Hope the game is back today, especially since I've got men's group 18 tomorrow and couples 18 on Saturday.

I'm pretty sure that one of them is thinking about it

Morning all. I gave my clubs a good brushing they look happy. Getting out at 1:50. Hopefully this allows for the rain to slow down or potentially stop. I'm playing either way. Only .13" in total precipitation over 4-5 hours, I'm thinking the course will be to my liking. I seem to hit my irons better when there's some water on the ground, morning dew on the grass or a light rain before I go out and it seems I interact with the turf better.

Sure....keep rubbing it in guys! I've only got at least another 32 years of work left (GULP) before retirement  haha!

When I started working here in 1970, one of the guys had a countdown to his retirement day in his office.  I don't remember the exact number of days left, but it was more than 3000.

My BIG boss came in yesterday to give me my 10 year pin and congratulated me for my service...... not really sure where those years went, to be honest. I'm looking at anywhere from 2-5 years (my choice-so far) before I have that NICE golfers schedule.  

My wife never gave ME a pin or congratulated me on our 10th anniversary!  I'm impressed!

Time will tell but atleast with that you get the productivity of people coming in and collaborating as well as being home and being productive there. We all know everyone is doing stuff around the house when they are home..... 

I also know that people play golf when they are working from home.  The number of people playing golf at my course during weekdays has more than doubled in the last 3 years... and they are not old people like me!!

Well, looking at it that way, I’ve only got about 8,200 days, give or take a few, until I can hang it up!

I used to be able to call same day at a course and get out anytime I wanted from 6-3…..I barely get one in if I call a day or two before unless it’s really early which is fine by me but frustrating lol. I want to go on a whim!

I played Tuesday with someone in our group who was obviously on the clock working "from home" he took 2 or 3 phone calls and cut out after 9 holes because he had to go set up his laptop in the car. 

He was considerate to walk away far enough his conversation didn't bother anyone, and he was a tall guy with long strides so he kept pace with the rest of us walking.

Good for him for finding a cheat code.
