The Good Evening Thread

[rkj427]

Congratulations @Michael.Sandoval33 on that accomplishment. 

Pretty quiet day here, cooler and random sprinkles so more inside work than outdoors.

We did our dinner where the restaurant donated 10% of any bill to Leader Dogs and SWMBO and myself actually took my friend William and his dog Maize with us. We had a large turnout and also shard the information about Texas Roadhouse making that donation with a few other people also eating there.

Have a great night Spies, hoping tomorrow brings us all more opportunities for doing things we enjoy.

That's awesome! Me and the Fiancé watched the video you posted on Leader Dogs they are doing great work! Glad to hear the dinner was a success.

Congrats @Michael.Sandoval33 on getting the course completed. Enjoy the little break before the next one.

Congrats on the upcoming retirement @Luisddavila and glad to hear of the transition program offered these days. Prayers on the health front and good to hear you have a handle on it and know where to go for assistance if and when needed. Thank you for your service!

Had a good day with @RoverRick at his home club getting acquainted with his course in preparation for the tournament this weekend. Really looking forward to the competition. Great but tough to read greens...

You gotta let us know how the tournament goes. Thinking you guys are going to crush it!

[RoverRick]

@William P I also had a great day with you followed by about 2 1/2” of prime rib and 5 glasses of wine. Unfortunately, while getting ready to call it a night, I remembered it was no longer birthday, but was also payroll day so 2 1/2 hours of work. That’s now done. 

I had a great time today and promise to be better prepared for the competition this weekend. It was great spending most of the day with you.

Good Wednesday morning spies!!! Gonna try to play this afternoon weather permitting.

Not much more to say other than my new shaft should be in today, still waiting on the tip. Gonna swap the shaft on the mini driver to an inch longer shaft. The mini currently is at 43” and I want to take it to 44”. That would match my fitted paradym td. I built new shafts for my hybrids, it was interesting because I had to adapt them to a .335 shaft, had to shim the tips. It actually was very easy. My next step is to determine the length I want the hybrids at. If I get out today I’ll be looking at that. Hope you all have a great day! Happy HUMP day!

Good evening folks!

Well, I am done with Sociology class! Finished my final exam with a 56/60 and I can wipe my hands with this class. A celebratory round of golf is in the very near future!

Hope you all had a great day.

Something else to go on your permanent record… Congratulations!!

Good evening Spies on what was finally a dry day here.

I did manage to go to Carl's Golfland to compare some off the new drivers to mine currently in the bag, and after spending more than a couple hours there, I can honestly state that I came home with what I brought with me.

Not saying that the new drivers are not good, just that there was nothing there that would have been a massive improvement of either distance or dispersion for me to change too, especially considering the prices.

In my opinion, the Ping G430 10K Max is a true fairway finder, goes dead straight, just not as long as my current gamer and the turbulators on the head are distracting to me. Head is elongated, and have a shallow face.

The Callaway AI Smoke Max spun too much, and the AI Smoke Triple Diamond was not as forgiving as mine, though the distance was similar to 5 yards longer. 

The TaylorMade Q10 standard head model was the best for me of these three tested today, but knowing that @GolfSpy_BEN had issues with two of them, made me reconsider that one.

Round scheduled for 12:00PM tomorrow, first round with Motocaddy, so really looking forward to that.

Have a great night.

I agree! Not a fan of the new drivers. The only one I haven’t tried is the cobra.

[Erin B]

Played today and Molly the motocaddy was great!

Decent score too! Other than the two penalties… Have a great evening!

Headed back to the “ Dark Kingdom “  If I survive the royal edicts of her high highness, then hopefully golf is a reality at some point in the next 3 days… Enjoy your evening.

@Dead Solid Bogey safe travels back to the House of the Dark Queen. Hopefully she may have actually missed you while you were working and will welcome you back home with open arms. Best of luck with the weather and free time to get some golf in over the next few days. 
 

I am with SWMBO at this moment at her son’s house celebrating a birthday for one of her 5 granddaughters and know your pain of too much or too many female people getting in the way of our hopes or plans.

i did get a round in today, actually 20 holes and had my Motocaddy trolley out for the first time and it went perfectly well. The trolley garnered a lot of attention and kind of distracted my concentration on golf for the first few holes. Once the commotion settled down so did my scores.

Have a great evening Spies!

[Michael.Sandoval33]

Any day on the course is a great day. Shot the usual +25 but I know where my mishaps were and could have shot better no doubt. Getting stuck between my back swing and downswing didn't help and my wedges took a vacation to Rome but still, glad to have gotten out.

Home now with the Fiancé watching whatever she was already watching... for now...

Have a good evening spies! 

Edit: she is watching Madame Web

I have faith in your ability to discover a nefarious and covert approach to manage a kitchen pass this weekend... 

[Erin B]

Good evening spies! Man am I exhausted. Sat at red rocks for a few hours watching a graduate walk across the stage. It was actually a great ceremony! I left there impressed with Chatfield HS. 

Both Zoey and I are glad to be home though. That drive is a pain in the arse.

Glad @Michael.Sandoval33 got out and played! A meh round is still better than a great day at work. At least you got out!!! Hope all you have a great evening! 

[Rob Person]

Good Evening spies!  Long day at work, and there was no end in sight for the peacemakers into the night shift either.  My only saving grace was knowing I have the weekend off!

The dealership also called and apparently they ordered the wrong bumper. It was the correct bumper, but not the right trim colors (mine had chrome, the replacement didn't)  so it may be another week.  I told them just install it and it will be fine.  They told me that if they do that then any sensor or connection failures will not be covered under warranty.   So now I wait another week possibly.

Maybe they should provide a loaner vehicle for the remainder of time in shop since it is due to their error?

I am lucky enough to have my sons to use in the interim.

@Dead Solid Bogey Hope you have a safe return to the “Dark Kingdom” and the princess of purchasing doesn’t have too many surprises awaiting you

@Rob Person hope the car gets sorted soon

Good Friday evening spies! Bit windy today but got out just the same. Scored ok, 33 putts isn’t ok, ended with a 78. Missed an eagle putt and only had one birdie. Had a penalty…it’s ok, better next time. Here are some funnies for ya!

have a great evening!

[TSauer]

Good evening, folks! It was a full day of golf for me, and at a course I've never played... so, double cool. This was my first "real" outing of the season I guess you could say, now the itch is in full effect. I ended up playing pretty well. My driver was more than decent, irons were good, putter was great, and my short game was the only thing that was lacking. Anything 100 yards and in I struggle. All in all it was a good time, but, when you take a Friday off work to golf can it really ever be a bad time?

Thank you sir!!! Could have been soooo much better. But glad I’m striking the ball well! 

This was for eagle, best hole of the day even though I missed the eagle putt.

Thanks Rob! I think the worst was the penalty on 18. Blasted my drive, but just a hair right, right out of bounds to an interior driving range. I hate interior OB. Just a bit outside.
