What you would do in Fairbanks in January is a mystery. -30F is kind of normal there then. Far up north, the colors are restricted. When it comes south. It's glorious with all kinds of different colors. I saw a major one in South Dakota back around 2001. That one they saw in Mexico. It was fantastic. Could even see where the sun was. All of it emitting from around one "hole". "Drapes" dancing all the way to the ground. I'll never forget it. I'll never be amused by the biggest fireworks display anymore either. If they put out the word we may have it in the lower 48. It's big time worth looking for. It's well worth driving away from city lights out to a dark area to view.

Popular Post RichL85 Posted Tuesday at 03:07 PM Popular Post Share Posted Tuesday at 03:07 PM Morning from the west coast to all. Got a lovely call from my boss yesterday telling me I needed to take some vacation time. Apparently I still have about 3 weeks worth of PTO I have to take by the end of the year. We don't have the option to roll it over, so I started looking through where I can use it. Im already only working two day next week before we take a trip down to LA for some theme park fun with the kids. So I have about 3 weeks to take off in the last 3 months of the year. I remember my last job it became a whole thing because I took a day off when our babysitter canceled last minute and I stayed home with my kids who were 1 and 4 at the time that day. It's amazing how much different the overall work environment can be when you actually treat people like humans instead of a number that punches the clock. Sometimes it good to get a reminder of how much you appreciate the things you have. tdroma98, sirchunksalot, Rickp and 16 others 17 2 Quote Driver: Titleist GT3 w/ GD Tour AD VF 6S (Testing in progress) 3 & 5 Woods: Titleist GT3 w/ GD Tour AD VF 7S (Testing in progress) Hybrids: 19 and 22 degree PXG 0317XF Gen 4 w/ Project X Evenflow Riptide 80g Irons: 5-PW PXG 0311P Gen 4 w/ KBS Tour 120 Wedges: Indi 50 FLX, 54 FLX, 58 ATK w/ KBS Wedge 610 (Official Review) Putter: PXG Battle Ready Blackjack, 36.5”, Double Bend neck Titleist GT Long Game Testing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Shrek74 Posted Tuesday at 03:22 PM Popular Post Share Posted Tuesday at 03:22 PM Good morning, Spies!! It's a rather yucky Tuesday morning here. Cloudy, rainy, and chilly. Not the best way to start the day. It's supposed to clear after lunch, but it's ugly now. Not much to report again this morning. I'm signed up for a free TPI assessment this Saturday. I've wanted to do one for a while, so we'll see how this goes and what the outcome will be. The local Wellness Center is also hiring a new trainer who will work late morning to close, so I may have an option of someone to work with on that front too. So hopefully this off season will be a good one. Well, everyone have a great day!

Popular Post Dan1993 Posted Tuesday at 03:39 PM Popular Post Share Posted Tuesday at 03:39 PM Good Morning Spies! Late morning into work with a Medical appt this morning. Word of advice for anyone active duty, when you make the decision to get out, start your medical appts ASAP. Especially if your were a designation/MOS that needed to keep some health issues under wraps. The medical process to get everything documented prior to submitting your VA Disability Claim is a long and arduous journey, and medical loves to take their sweet time with everything. Swiftly approaching my 180 days from separation and things are only speeding up! Lots of rain here this week, but may have a gap on Friday. All my local courses don't have tee times until 15-1700, which puts a damper on things, may try and find an indoor range to get some sim time and get my averages for my club distances now that I have all my clubs in. Lastly, congratulations to all those that get selected for the Ghost Golf bag testing! Looks like a beautiful bag with lots of features and premium details! That's all for now! Hit Em Straight Spies!

As I understand it, Bubba is probably going to remain on his team in spite of the "relegation," given that he is a fan draw and captain of one of the more successful LIV teams. Which is kind of a shame, getting to continue thanks to a loophole in their rules. Several other guys who aren't a big name are probably gonna get bounced, including Anthony Kim. Which brings up the question, who is going to replace Kim and others who get "relegated"? There isn't a LIV minor league. Raid the other tours for people who are willing to sell their golfing soul?

I made it there once from Denver. 770 miles in 11 hours. Back to golf. Try practicing real slow, methodical, concentrated. Hit each ball like everything counted on it. You can then speed up. Train your autonomic mind an nervous system to be consistent. .. On putting....gaining touch... Draw a circle the size of a cup on the floor of your garage. Stop the ball within the circle. Well all I can say is you were hammer down in the Monfort lane to turn that time. LOL if you get the Montfort pun you must be an old school trucker. Most of my trucking when I was an O/O was heavy haul. LOL I used to taunt the freight haulers as in I got more weight on my Tri axle than you do in your whole wagon.

BIG STU Posted Tuesday at 07:31 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:31 PM 7 hours ago, ILMgolfnut said: Good morning Spies from damp Charlotte. Not raining at the moment, but it will; the storm that clobbered the Casa yesterday is supposed to drift up here by this afternoon. Just saw some NC flooding footage on TV in the hotel breakfast room. Wilmington is on kind of a peninsula between the ocean and the Cape Fear River, and most of it is fairly safe from flooding, the downtown area along the river being an exception. Carolina Beach, though, is on a barrier island and got socked yesterday. But 18 inches of rain will sock just about anywhere. Have two patients to see this morning, then drive to Raleigh for two days. Got in my first Fit For Golf workout in a while last night. On top of hitting 95 balls at First Tee, it was probably too much and I felt it last night, particularly in the right shoulder and the glutes. I thought it was a productive range session, though. I made a point of holding my finish on good shots to aid with muscle memory. There was some women's (college?) golf team also practicing at First Tee while I was there. They were hitting it a little better than I was, put it that way. (Looked it up. It was the Queens University golf team; recognized one of the names embroidered on her carry bag.) @Northern Monkey have a great trip! @IndyBonzo those are some slick greens! @rkj427 neat pics of the aurora! All kinds of atmospheric weirdness this year. Often wondered if I could have seen the aurora on my trips to Sweden and Alaska to run marathons. Both were in July so not much nighttime available at those latitudes, though. HMM if you were at The First Tee in Charlotte you must have been over at Charles Sifford golf course. The guy I grew up with his company runs that course along with all the County courses. Charles Sifford was from Charlotte and I knew him well as he was friends with my old man. When I was a kid of course it was Mr. Sifford. Later on I called him Cigar as he told me to do. All the locals that knew him called him Cigar because he almost always had a cigar in his mouth.

Popular Post BIG STU Posted Tuesday at 07:41 PM Popular Post Share Posted Tuesday at 07:41 PM 4 hours ago, ILMgolfnut said: Lamis are tricky. You're trying to decompress the nerves without destabilizing, and eventually if you take out enough stuff, you cross that line and need to do a fusion. They trim bulging discs, remove bone spurs and open up the foramens where nerves leave the spine to go down the legs. My spine is fused, has been since I was 15. I never played golf without a bone graft and a stainless steel rod in my back, so I have no idea what it's like to go from one to the other as a golfer. But having been fused for that long, golf and everything else I've done for nearly 50 years put extra strain on the unfused levels below, and those are worn out now. So I'm dealing with that, including a boat load of bone spurs like I referred to above. Another thing that happens as you get older is the discs dry out and shrink; a disc is similar to a jelly doughnut, and that jelly breaks down over time. So the normal disc space collapses, which also closes off the foramens. That collapse is also a big reason why people shrink as they get older. Lose a quarter inch of disc space from 5-6 discs, and voila, you're an inch and a half shorter. I used to treat people who used their back problems as an excuse to get opioid pain medication they didn't really need. Occasionally I'd tell one of them, "I've seen your X-rays, and I've seen my X-rays, and mine are much worse than yours. And I don't take anything." In other words, suck it up, buttercup. There were people who had real pain, and we'd prescribe for those, but all too many just wanted that hydrocodone buzz. You will know exactly where I am coming from here. When I had my accident I cracked both sides of my L-2 and collapsed the disc. Now they did fuse one side. It took a while but the disc inflated itself back up so to speak At the time they had cracked down on DR. s prescribing Opioids. Now I had some at first but told them I did not want any more. I told my Neurosurgeon I did not want to become an addict. Instead I went the CBD and cannabis route. Never went on alcohol either. I wanted to enjoy the rest of my life and being an addict was not in the plan. since I have started exercising regularly and using a cane I have not used any CBD or cannabis for darn near a year. The Neurosurgeon told me tongue in cheek I was one of the few that did not want more Oxy. I figured I was going to rehab to play golf again without addictive drugs Rickp, EasyPutter, Byrnzee and 7 others 8 2 Quote Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- - 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R---- Irons 5 thru PW 1980 Macgregor VIP Hogan Apex steel shafts--- SW -- Cleveland 588 56* S-400 Sensicore --- LW Vokey 58* SM5 L grind--- Putter 1997 Scotty Cameron Santa Fe Fluted Bulls Eye shaft--- Bag TM Flex Lite Stand---- Yeah I know only 11 clubs G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BIG STU Posted Tuesday at 07:58 PM Popular Post Share Posted Tuesday at 07:58 PM Well I ended up playing the league this am CPO and all. It was wet and I got around just fine with my Hurry Cane. Now it was wet this morning and the ball was not going anywhere. Ended up with an 82 off an 10 index. Out of 45 players I am stuck in the middle at 20th. One of the 20 handicappers shot 86 today and is in the lead. Funny thing is last week I had him all 3 days in the small money league game and the best he shot all week was a 94. Not having sour grapes here but we will see. Did get 2 birdies on the birdie pool today for $66 total not a bad day money wise. main thing was I did play and had no trouble getting around with the cane. In fact the group behind me commented on how well I got around. I am stoked and I have no pain swelling or stiffness. I told the director I would try 9 and go from there since it was individual and not team.

Have to wonder why the Saudis (or Greg Norman) thought they were worth their investment. BIG STU, sirchunksalot, ejgaudette and 5 others 8 Quote Obsessed with chasing the dimpled orb.

Old New Golfer Posted Tuesday at 10:47 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:47 PM Thought I’d mention with all the rain. If you’re caught in a lightning storm. It’s best to keep only one foot on the ground. That’s because the lightning creates differences in potential all around the strike. You don’t want that difference in potential between your feet. That’s why four legged animals don’t do good with lightning. Running is ok. Golf cart should provide insulation with the tires. Car is better.

I cannot agree with that. I worked for years above the Arctic Circle in the Alaskan oilfields. I have seen the swirling vortexes of the lights in reds, greens, gold, white, and blue. The sun sets in late November and comes up late January up there. So you get to see the lights a lot. cksurfdude, William P, KC Golf and 10 others 13 Quote Driver Sim Max2 Hybrids G430 2, 3, 4 Irons ZX4 6-PW Wedges Hi-Toe 50, 54, 58 Putter 2Ball Ten ArmLock Golf cart MGI Zip Navigator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
