The Good Morning Thread

[cnosil]

Beautiful sunny morning.   Doing my morning Work duties and catching up on the overnight forum topics.    The good thing about Thursday is the golf coverage is on so I can also watch some golf.   Charging up the shotscope and wireless earbuds for league match and forum call this evening.   Feeling good on how my game has been prigressing over the past couple of weeks so I am ready to play and hopefully the team can get our first win of the season.

GM, got a late start just having coffee & bagel.  We had a few errands to run and The Boss wanted to get to them early.  
Everyone have a great day!  I’m going to try and get to the Forum call this afternoon, all depends when we get home.

Thanks for the reminder. After the Masters, I sort of forgot about the RBC at Hilton Head.

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

I'm still waiting for the Avs to win it again- I miss Forsberg

GM Y'all- I think someone forgot about Spring- kinda went from nasty weather straight to Summer- oh well stuff happens. The fairways are tryin to get green. Hopefully you players will have nothing but F&Gs - hoping to be able to get out and try some more of my Rahm "driver education" today- Things are kinda hectic at work- as I'm sure it is elsewhere but (as always- yep you guessed it) we got this

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. 

What course are you playing?  Have a great time with family!

[BKervin]

Good morning all!

Just getting ready for another 18 with a 10 AM tee time.  Hope you all are able to get out today as well!

Only 3 more rounds in Pawleys Island before we head back to NW Pennsylvania.  Good news is our course is open at home.  Might need to bust out long pants again though!

Keep 'em straight and when you can't - at least keep 'em out of trouble!

Good Morning all! Sun is shining bright, it's already almost 60 degrees and another beautiful day is on tap. I am once again at work all day, so chances of golf are slim unless I can sneak up to the range this evening. Looking forward to the community call this afternoon and keeping my fingers crossed I don't get de-railed by a work meeting. At this point, the only thing that would keep me from the call is if I could leave work early to take my son up to the golf course. Speaking of him, he developed a rash last night which we think is related to his amoxicillin prescription for Strep throat. We are on the last day of the prescription, so surprised it didn't develop sooner, but he seems to be feeling fine so we sent him to school. Talked to a co-worked and the exact same thing happened to their son, along the same timeline, so we aren't too worried about it as long as no other symptoms pop up. Have the day off tomorrow as my mom is getting a bone marrow biopsy and cannot watch our youngest in the morning. She's had a bit of a cancer scare, but so far, all tests have come back negative. This is the last one the doc has planned (for now), so hoping that it will come back negative as well. 

Golf is on the schedule for tomorrow morning and hopefully the afternoon after I pick my son up from school, and then I'm hoping to get 18 in on Saturday morning as weather is going to take a turn back to cool, wet, Wisconsin spring weather next week, so not much chance for golf.

Hope everyone has a great day!

Thank you @BKervin!  We are playing TPC Tampa Bay today.  Just watched a couple overview videos.  Tee shot accuracy will dictate an awful lot of outcomes!  The course looks like a ton of fun.  Will report in later.  
 

Also, here’s my current situation.  Think I’m excited?  Doing some ball testing.  Planning to avoid the negative mental energy today.

Early morning range time today, before the afternoon rains to iron out some swing issues.  A little chipping & putting time as well.  It was a good practice morning! Very much needed! 

Have a Great Day Everyone!!

Hoping the rash on lil-Jnoble clears up with out getting itch on him!  Also hope everything goes smoothly with your Mom.  Those scares are never easy and are a constant reminder that our time is precious.  Hope she has a quick recovery.  My understanding is that anything bone marrow related can be quite painful.

Yeah!  That Bruins cover has to take at least a hat trick off your handicap.  

Also... I LOVE that they get to play the Canadiens now after breaking their point total record last game.  Hopefully they take 2 more and clear their total by 3.

 

GO BRUINS! playoff hockey starts soon... one of the few sports I could watch not knowing either of the teams.  Playoff Hockey is just next level intensity.  Can't be beat.

Thanks, Bryan. Yeah, I don't think the appointment tomorrow will be any too enjoyable. Thankfully, my dad was able to take the day off of work so that he can be at home with her afterwards. We've been very fortunate in my family with the big C word. My dad was diagnosed and beat prostate cancer, only to be diagnosed with a form of Leukemia almost a year to the date after his prostate cancer diagnosis. He's been in remission for 4 years and has almost zero signs of the CML in his bloodstream, but is on a medication for the rest of his life to make sure it stays that way. Just hoping that this final test comes back negative for my mom and then we can breathe a sigh of relief.

Yes playoff hockey is just another level I mean its is crazy how fast the game ramps up and getting down to a 2.5 would be a great goal for this year. Aspirationally order 00 on the Pro V1s this year and put a red decimal place in there for the ultimate goal someday

Well you got it last year so back to back is tough but they got rolling the second half of the year. Might have to get the NHL thread fired back up. Finally I do have the thank the Avs for getting Bourque his cup that he deserved after everything that went on in Boston.

[richk9holes]

Happy hot summer-ish morning, Morning Thread people. Brewing a giant pot of coffee. Clubs are clean and organized. Getting out at 2:20pm at Shark River GC. This place always breaks me. +22 and +23 the last 2 full rounds I got in here.

Going to try better course management today. Sitting down with the scorecard and seeing where the lost strokes were for those rounds. Going to go into the round with a handful of notes.

Thanks, @ejgaudette. Always try to tell myself, at least with my parents, there's no point in worrying too much until there's something known to worry about. Much easier said than done, though.

Way easier said than done, with out first I think we went to the doctors like 5 times in the first 6 months. With parents it feels like it comes out of no where, they are older so you feel they can take care of themselves and will always be ok, but as always time wins out and then the worry comes.

Good Morning

Beautiful day in CT, expected upper 80's(!) and I am going to be getting out to the local course to play this afternoon. 

Have a day!

Yup went thru it with my parents and now our kids are checking in on us.  One of our daughters lost her father-in-law in December and the focus is on SWMBO and myself.  It’s just natural progression. We kinda tell them what’s going on.

Morning all!

Not much on the agenda today other than practice and a stop by the gym for my normal workout. Yesterday I played like cr*p. It was cool, cloudy - that was a nice change BUT the gusts to 31 on my least favorite 9 ugh. Not much golf in store til Saturday 18 couples. We have a men's match play event going on til Friday afternoon so limited (at best) tee times. 

Hope everyone has a great day

Oh man sorry to hear that... Hope *today* is the day that you overcome your nemesis!!

Last Summer my wife and I spent a few days in Spring Lake (I think it was? ..nice place by the beach) and played the front 9 at Shark River one day - now seriously NOT bragging here, I'm just an ok golfer, but ended up having a pretty good golfing day with one of my lower 9 hole scores (41 I'm thinking it was .. mostly due to a lot of spot on putting!) - so what I'm saying here is: if *I* can do it........

 

Oh, PS: we refreshed ourselves after at a really nice Irish pub along one of the main roads on the way back .. very friendly bartender who's into golf and bought us our second round!
