The Good Morning Thread


GolfSpy_APH

Recommended Posts

We had nice weather over the weekend for February in MO.  I walked 18 holes to chip and putt yesterday morning and it was 38° when we started and low 50's when we finished.  It is very tempting to attempt a full swing, but I am not taking any chances with the shoulder surgery recovery.  Maybe next weekend, weather permitting, I will try some 3/4 swing pitch shots.

Good Monday morning everyone ☕ and holiday Monday in the US so late to rise and pot of tea to start the day and not in the harbor @JohnSmalls!  Parents emigrated from England before yours truly emerged into the world so especially today when I remember my mum on the anniversary of her bringing me into the world, and then putting up with me for decades, it's only right to spend some quiet time with a cuppa.

Lotta early risers in this group!

Back when .. waaaay back, it seems .. I used to (emphasized!) be in a suit and tie on the 5:22 train into the city. Heck there were even some days I was on the freakin 4:22...

But that was then and now I'm a retired old fart with no schedule ... weekdays my wife's alarm goes off at 5am and I can cheerfully roll over and ignore it 🤣

I'm an early riser, but not by choice. Well, I guess you could say by choice since I chose first shift with a startup time of 6 a.m.. I've never liked waking up at 3 in the morning for anything and I used to do a lot of hunting and fishing. 

It's amazing how your body both adjusts to and loathes waking up that early. I guess that's why we have coffee.

Wind and rain wouldn’t let up the past week until it’s time to fly. Backyard project on hold until I get back. Consolation is, clubs are checked in—golfing with my bro in 60-degree weather. 😎

Meanwhile, in Wisconsin....we are forecasted for rain/sleet/snow the next three days. This is the SECOND TIME we have had almost full snow melt and I can see the golf course out my bedroom window. By Thursday, it'll be covered in that white stuff. 🙃
