We got back from SWMBO Doc.  Not as bad as she feared but will have surgery that should be outpatient or 1 overnight.  

Glad to hear that Rick!

Wait a minute!!  How can you guys in the upper midwest be warmer than the PNW!??  I woke up to 34º and it will only get to 54º around 4pm.  

Anyway... Good morning everyone!  The good news is that the wind is down today so I will get out to walk 9 holes... maybe 18.  Spent yesterday in my hitting bay working on extending in the backswing; I'll see how that works on the course.

No kidding right, Some of the cars on the road today had ice on the hoods and roof. Not more than 5 min ago it was hailing on me and another rain out baseball game.  guess that means I can get some MGS work done.

@RickpI got you on the good evening thread.  Fireplace crackling, and the sweet smell of mahogany, leather bound books, and Topo Chico with a hint of lime.

I first read Topo Gigio.   You wouldn't remember that, but @Rickp would!!

Like a Bob Ross/Mr. Roger's Neighborhood type vibe but with golf and booze.

Good morning Spies!

Work and family and my wife’s birthday have made for a fun and dynamic week thus far.  Golfing this afternoon with my dad and brother at a very nice and difficult course, which should be a great time.   Will send pics later!

I wish you all a great day.

Good morning all! I hope each of you have a good start to your day. It's a nice, cool morning here in Tennessee and I'm enjoying sipping my coffee after arriving safely at work. I'm looking forward to seeing what the day has to offer and to those of you playing or practicing today, I wish you the best. 

[Triple_Putt]

Gooood morning all! Sipping on some joe before heading into work. A nice 53* out, they said it might get up to 90 today before starting to get back to normal temps for the weekend. The grass is sure to really start popping. Have a great day everyone!

[GolfSpy_APH]

2 over through 5. Bas bogey on the last, however (jinx) have yet to miss a fairway. Also only have 6 putts haha

Oh Golf

But what a great way to spend the morning!

Update missed the next two fairways and made bogey on both. Sand saves on both holes. Also decided to hail during those two holes. Cleared and made back to back pars. 

Golf is dumb. Need coffee.

Golf is indeed dumb, but boy is it addicting. 
 

Good morning everyone! Up early with the baby - not a good night of sleep so today could be tough

First cup of coffee - engage!

Good morning on a too early to be summer but it feels like it WNY Thursday with hot coffee in the mug  and computers going online  for work and, um, something else  anyway the good news includes golf yesterday at my old course that was perfectly fine for the first real beginning of season 9 holes not losing @Yellow Ball's whiter cousin and a couple pars that usually evade me, some brilliant shots that went where they were intended to go, and confidence that this is a good year for golf  hope golf is a part of your day!

Was gonna say this but ya beat me to it wishing your family all the best 

Morning all, going to be a beautiful day seems blasphemous to not golf. Slept in and pouring the first cup here in a few.

 

 

[Swood1994]

Not much to say other than ITS A GREAT MORNING! I piped my first drive of the year dead middle 300yds so basically my day can only get worse from here. 

[GolfSpy BOS]

Good morning all!

coffee is hot, sun is rising, and temps are supposed to get into the mid 80s today!! I might have to make up an excuse to take the convertible out on lunch. 
 

also, I already feel 1000 times better than yesterday and the kids appear to be better too. 
 

Cobra test is finally public, Edel orders will be going in this evening, Paradym Irons are starting to get delivered… exciting times on the forum!

Holy Gotham Batman! I just got in from playing 18 and opened up my laptop to find I'm 6 pages behind just on this thread!! All of the regulars know what a great site this is, but never have I seen the kind of activity we've had in the past month. To all the newbies; stick around you'll find this site exceeds your expectations. 

Kudos to the Mods! 

 

 

I think this thread has become the proverbial “water cooler” for the forum. Everyone stops by with their morning cup and a quick chat to start their day.

All of this is great news.  I think the new Cobra test should be called the CCC50

Since Arccos is really no longer involved we felt a good name change was in order, and we really want to highlight the 50th anniversary!

I didn't catch that! (I need MOARRR coffee).  I am looking forward to the shenanigans as much as I am the competition or reviews 

[MattWillGolf]

Enjoying my morning coffee, listening to the Rick Shiels Golf Show podcast (he is sharing his experience of playing Augusta on Monday) and browsing this thread. We’ve been blessed with beautiful spring weather in Central NY. I will be playing 9 holes later this morning. 

[JFish350]

Good Morning Folks,  Happy to be +12. 

Not much on plate as far as golf goes.  Baseball season is trying to get started but the rain keeps it from really taking off. That said a double header tonight, tomorrow and a single on Sat. Hoping I can get some swings in after and on Sunday.  I don’t want to speed up time as it goes by way to fast, but come on May. I made my schedule full of golf and work. 

Have great day folks.

Good morning everyone and its here first round of the year today at 1!!! So excited and ready to get the season started. Gotta find some form before the Edels show up. Enjoying this really warm weather the next couple of days. Love seeing all the action on the forum lately even if I can't seem to keep up. Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

Had to do the Bs headcover with the season they are having, maybe I can catch some of those good vibes

[Invader Zim 315]

This weather is such a tease; I rode my bike to the office today and enjoyed looking at the river as the sun was coming up.

AMPED to see so many of you getting out there and playing today.  Hoping to get a birthday round in this weekend
