The Good Morning Thread

GOOOOD MORNING FOLKS on the other side of the planet. 

 

Just after 1pm here. Got my day started with daughter calling me asking if it was ok for her to go to URGENT Care.  WTF yes of course just go was my response. next question, what's wrong? She been sick and thought it was strep. She was right.  All that and looking at the clock going OH $%!+ I'm supposed to be at work. Slept right through the alarm, I wasn't even drinking so now all I have to blame is freaking age. But at least I woke up and I'll take that over the alternative. 

 

I was allergy free all but the last 3-4 years. Now if I don't take a zertec I get all itchy. I tried to blame the laundry deferent since the wife changed it to something other than Tide. Oh well, Here's to an ice free day.

As mentioned this morning, I did a thing today at the home of the WNY PGA Section Headquarters at Glen Oak GC.  It was a photoshoot to highlight our section PGA HOPE program and our newest Ambassador Justin Weglinski.  The post in Random Thread is linked below.

Mine was the exact opposite. For the majority of my life I had never had problems with allergies. Then all of a sudden one fall, we were at my in-laws cabin and my eyes were just unbearably itchy. I think it was probably 5 or so years ago? It was right around when our first son was born. Anyways, I thought that I just had something stuck in my eye, never thought about allergies since I had never had problems in the past. I'm afraid I'll be stuck with them for forever, but who knows. All I know is it's a major PITA because my two favorite hobbies (golf and archery) are outdoor sports and whitetail archery season starts in September. Fall golf is also one of my favorite times of the year. I just pop my pills, snort my nasal inhaler and use my eye drops to survive! 

I  am also a late in life allergy sufferer also.   Probably started 10 or so years ago and has progressively gotten worse.

It is such a rip off, isn’t it?

Good morning everyone! It's Thursday, I almost said hump day but I can't trust my groggy brain to be right this early and realized my mistake. I'm looking forward to the community call this evening and am going to have to check out the new website for the main site so I'll be able to contribute. I looked yesterday, but it was saying "coming soon".

 I hope y'all have a good day and that everyone suffering from allergies feels better today.

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.

I got called into work at 3am this morning, it's going to be a long day.

Gooood morning all! Actually a dusting of snow on the ground…. Wasn’t what I was expecting after 60 degrees and beautiful sun yesterday. Coffee and eggs and let’s gets this day on the way! Have a great day all

GM fellow MGS'ers! Very cool and crisp Wisconsin morning here today, temperature read 18 degrees in the truck on the way to work. We are supposed to climb to the low 40s today, though, so another comfortable afternoon. Some rain is projected in the forecast this evening into friday, wtih possible, GULP, snow on Saturday. It won't stick long as the highs next week are climbing into the 50s. Driving range opening may get pushed back if we get too much rain/snow, but hoping to get out there on Sunday with my oldest! Forecast for Master's Saturday, when the course is scheduled to open, is currently  a high of 53 and sunny  right up this ol' Wisconsin boy's alley! There is also a member's only event Master's Saturday, so I am looking forward to that!

Me looking at the amount of work I have today.

Good morning from a frosty windshield scraping WNY on this Thursday, hot coffee  making it better with the backup ready in the thermos.  Honestly doing my best to focus on  work this morning but events surrounding PGA HOPE swirl obscuring clear minded thinking.  Tuesday this was announced, notice who is in Team Jacobs...

With yesterday's photoshoot to profile the newest PGA HOPE Ambassador for the PGA HOPE WNY Section which had me involved with a lot of speaking parts, and seeing the itinerary for the above event weekend, I might have trouble focusing away from it for long at any moment.  Now I really do need to get my clubs going and the body back into golf tone.

Hope your day has golf a part of it

Morning everyone! The dew point/humidity index is beginning to fall (finally) here in FL. The past several days have been very hot and humid. Combine that with a high pollen count to exacerbate my allergies so it hasn't been  a pleasant week.  I'm running errands today as well as stopping by the range today. Speaking of which - how come I'm a 10 hcp on the range and a 20 hcp on the course?

Good morning everyone, looking forward to a nice Thursday. Started boiling off our sap last night though I ran out of propane, so will need to get it filled today to finish it off, we only tap one tree so we don't get too much but close to 8 gallons so far so it will turn into an alright bit.

[David Leighton Reid]

Happy Thursday morning fellow spies!  Our temperature should be in the low 60's today and it could be a fine day for golf, if work didn't get in the way.

Woke up to the announcement of the latest Edel irons Testing opportunity.  This one looks very interesting for the lucky Testers.  
Also the 2023 Masters Pool with Titleist as sponsor.  Looks like an interesting Spring and I never mentioned the Cally Paradym irons.

I can bring you some propane in exchange for a small sample

Good morning, MGS. I'm up early and getting ready for a 12:20pm tee time at Concordia GC. Giving Vice Pro balls a go. 4 dozen mix came yesterday, only complaint is only 1 Vice Drive in the mix. I lost it the first hole I played with it. 

The sub70 24° was solid on the range, but I hit it on the toe a bunch out on the course. 1 clean shot about 160y into the fairway I kinda baby'd the swing so didn't get the distance I'm looking for. A few par 3s I'll get to use it on today.
