Absolutely love my Motocaddy. Getting close to 1000 miles on mine with zero issues.

1000 miles is impressive!  Same battery?

I wanted to share this video of my 14 year old son figuring out his drives. He’s been so defeated because he’s been battling a case of the hooks so this lesson was just the confidence boost he needed. His favorite club is his cobra 5 wood and if his coach would let him, it would be the only club he’d carry Edited May 8 by Mrsbell89
Well nvm. It’s not working 🫠

[rkj427]

@Mrsbell89 nice video, and the most important part is that he continues to enjoy the game, even though we all get frustrated at times.

Just got in from a membership meeting our car club has monthly at Leader Dogs for the Blind, and we were shown a video that I will post in the "Random Thread."

Storms here at this time, and massive amounts of rain, but hoping to get out tomorrow for a round myself. Will need it to stop and course to somewhat dry out beforehand.

The video is all about overcoming adversity with determination and a positive "CAN DO" outlook.

That sounds helpful! I feel the mental part of golf is the hardest part of the game.  I hope the weather permits a round tomorrow! Send that rain this way! Our grass is a bit crunchy.

Hard day at work, got kicked pretty good in the head subduing a methed out person, broke my glasses, tased somebody, had a mountain of justification paperwork to do.

 

But I am unscathed, and my intro for Stix is up!

Glad you’re ok. The paperwork is a nightmare isn’t it, exactly the same here

I don't mind the paperwork,  it's the brass clash after that erks me. Everyone sideline refereeing the incident from a static position vs real world action/reaction standpoint. But I've got a solid chain of command that is stand up!

Tell me about it! They go through the Body Worn and in car video frame by frame and totally dissect it when in reality you’ve had a split second to act. I have no issue with accountability and justifying your actions but it annoys me when they spend hours going through a few minutes of footage to pull everything apart

Same battery. The battery lasts about 45 holes. But I recharge it after every round.

That's awesome. Our course is full of hills and I would prob charge after every round as well.

The Motocaddy is a mountain goat. It will climb anything and even pull you along the way. Pretty impressive.  If you do get one make sure you use the wheelie bar.

Good evening MGS troops! The weather just isn’t cooperating. Wasn’t able to get out today. It’s 50* but windy with a damp chill. That makes it feel like 36*. 

The wind is a constant 22 but really it gusts every few seconds to 40. 

I may be able to make it out tomorrow… we shall see. Oh, found a funny for you all!!!

Enjoy!

Good evening MGS…. The heat was on, but fortunately the humidity dropped during the day. Still engaged the heat index protocols as it early in the “ Hot as  Hell “ season, known as spring in other parts of the country. Had a couple of the youths get a tad woozy. Neither had ever worn FRC gear before. I have had to deal with Nomex / FRC clothing for nearly 1/2 century. You freeze wearing them in the winter ( although you can mitigate the cold by dressing in layers under the FRC’s ) and broil in them in the heat… Live and learn… The triple digit heat is suppose to stay with us for at least one more day. Hands and wrists had a good day while the rest of the body tried detoxing by sweating profusely. Enjoy the rest of your golf therapy ( community call ) eve.

Good evening Spies. Picture-perfect weather day here, especially for golf, but alas FedEx was delivering my Motocaddy for testing, so I ended up staying home and waiting patiently for them.

It arrived late afternoon, and I was able to unbox and get it set-up and ready to go.

Unfortunately, weather here turns for the worse for the next 3 to 4 days, so it may be Sunday at the earliest that I can get it out on its maiden test run.

Will be spending as much time as need tonight making a post on the Motocaddy test with my pictures and comments.

Good evening all!

Just got back from Grapevine, TX. where I was running 1000mph at a conference for work. You know the kind, spend all day on your feet walking miles to meetings and meeting customers then spending all evening entertaining them along with Al K. Hall. Makes for long days and nights. I am home, in my PJs and relaxing at the moment.

I did get to take my clubs and play Cowboy’s Golf Club near the Gaylord Texan Resort (where we held the conference). It was a really nice course but the night before delivered about 3-4” of rain so it was wet. Cart path only and a scramble format to boot.

Had a great time and the best feature was the frozen Jack and Coke icee machine at the turn. You could get Cherry or Vanilla flavor added too. Yes please. I want one of those machines. The last several holes were a blur but we did shoot par. I would love to go back when it is not as wet and really give the course a go.

Have a wonderful evening all. Sleep well and dream of low scores.

Cheers!

Be epic tomorrow @Erin B!!!

 

Good evening spies!  Long day on GC duties,  followed by going in for the final tux fitting for my sons upcoming wedding 

Putter around the practice green before work this morning too

Nasty storms will be rolling in overnight,  presenting the opportunity for 70mph straight line winds and tornadoes.

True!

So I have an old Craftsman LT1500 riding lawnmower. The upper drive belt finally gave out and rendered it immobile. That’s fine, kind of figured it was gonna happen. Anyhow, got a new belt and went to install it and found that in order to get it on the biggest pulley you have to take the whole transmission off the frame and push it away from the frame in order to get the new belt on. I spent the better part of 4 hours trying to figure this out before I googled it. Did all that just to find out that the belt I have is too small but it’s the right part…I did go to the range prior, so my day wasn’t fully shot.

Hey spies! Played ok. Here’s my link to the post I just put in for the Motocaddy review.

Good evening Spies.

Saw your video @Erin B and it looks very nice.

I spent some time on the range this afternoon, rain moving in tonight, so golf not in the plans for tomorrow.
