The Good Evening Thread

[rkj427]

Good evening Spies on what was almost a perfect Tuesday for me here.

1. Was able to get 18 in very early this morning with my Motocaddy, actually had to wait on the course staff to open so I could pay and go.

2. Finally have some resolution about getting my windshield replaced. Heard nothing from either AAA or Safelite, so I called the shop, they wanted me to come and get my car since it has been there since Thursday with no approval yet, but the lady at the shop I have been dealing with also said we could call the Safelite approval department to see what the delay may be with both of us there to answer any questions they had. Before I drove to the shop, I called my insurance agent, they verified coverage and $100.00 deductible and sent that to Safelite shop. Seems the Safelite HQ had a typo when they entered my policy number, actually missing a digit, and the delay was on their part. Shop then told me to leave car, they will install tomorrow, and waive the deductible due to the delays caused by their HQ and system.

@Michael.Sandoval33 best of luck in the vehicle search and hope that you don't have many issues with the dealers out there. Here they still are not 100% above-board, and I have walked away more than one-time due to them not being fair or equitable. Car values are easily found these days, due to internet and various resources, but dealers still try to gouge on their prices, and low ball you on any trade, yet alone the "add-ons" they try to pass on to the consumer.

Hope @Preeway had another safe and uneventful day headed back home from his trip out west.

Good day indeed!  Hate you had to wait awhile for this though!

Had a good drive today. So good, I decided to skip the hotel and drive the whole 15 hours home. It does mean no golf tomorrow at Wild Horse but it does mean a night in my own bed a day earlier than expected. I’ll take that. Hope everyone had a good evening. I’m off to bed.

The last 5 hours were tough, which is why I booked the hotel in the first place. Plus, I love playing Wild Horse, lol.

Going through the same thing right now for a family vehicle. Car shopping seems to be getting worse and worse especially given the market. Good luck with your search!

Oh yeah you guys, it's funny I was just talking to my sister the other day about how it has been nearly 12 years since I was in the market for a car (my old reliable Honda has held up very well)

All I got in response was a "good luck."

I think I understand now what she meant

Well spies, I finally did it! Hit it passed the pin on hole 10 and back spun several feet towards the pin..all that's left for me now is to join the PGA Tour! Wasn't my best round though, 91 overall.. Turned it on late with a few pars but had a horrible front 9

First day at the work site went well.. I didn’t stress my hands or wrists.. Limited myself to just a couple of fist shakings at the sky while verbally “ suggesting “ a different course of action. Heat wasn’t horrible in itself.. But it seems @Erin B is bogarting the wind again… We could have used some breeze. Should only be out here until the beginning of next week for my phase of the job. 
   @Michael.Sandoval33 if it is any consolation.. My better half will be ruining the day for a few vehicle salespeople in the next few days.. The woman is a savant when it comes to asking questions that have no relevance to the subject at hand.  
 Good night spies.. Time for the elderly to crawl off to bed…

Glad you got some satisfaction on the windshield issue. Rare in this day of age for a company to own their mistakes. Still at least somewhat of an inconvenience being without your vehicle for that long.

Good evening Spies, on what was a busy doing anything but golf related for me today. Enjoyable day, but chasing after a 7 year old when I am almost 10 times his age is definitely a challenge.

Thanks @Dead Solid Bogey for the remarks on getting my car back, didn't matter to me how long it took, just that thye whole delay could have been avoided if not for a typographical error on their part.

Had my grandson today, picked him up, took him to breakfast, then home for the day. He spent a little while outdoors, but complained it was too hot, mid 80's and very sunny, so inside we went.

He had fun, building some puzzles, reading some books, then playing along with a game show on TV with SWMBO for a while.

Ironic that when I drove him back home, after my son got to his house from work, the kid fell asleep in his seat in the back.

I am hoping to get a round in tomorrow, weather here expected to be hot and humid, so hoping to get out earlier rather than later.

Have a good evening, and hoping that everyone's tomorrow is the best day it possibly can be.

How’d you know??? We had 40mph gusts all the way to Denver today. 

[Erin B]

Buenos Nochas spies! Denver is effing hot. 99 outside. Being from Cheyenne we don’t get that hot too often. That’s sweaty ️ hot!!! No thank you sir!

hotel cooler here we come! 

[Preeway]

Good evening, gents. Sultry 93° for league tonight and a nice hot wind to go with it. Was a drastic change from Oregon for sure. Shot a crappy 42 but managed to tie with my opponent who played equally as miserable. Time to get my unboxing post prepped for the Fujikura shaft test thread and then off to bed. @Erin BI hope Denver brings you two some good news.

[Rob Person]

Evening all!  Other than catching glimpses of the US Open practice rounds and the press  conferences , there was no golf today, or for tomorrow either. 

Hope the news was positive @Erin B for the boss lady! How has she been coping?

 

[Michael.Sandoval33]

Good evening everybody,

Spent a solid 4 hours at Starbucks completing my classwork for the week due to the high heats killing WiFi in the house. I did not know that was a thing but I guess it's legit. Tomorrow is another range day for me, trying to work my irons back to any semblance of "ok." Glad everybody made it through another Wednesday and I hope to hear great news coming out of Denver @Erin B.

Have a good one spies

She’s coping well. The dr said no reconstruction. They’re draining her and cleaning out the infection. We’ve discussed no reconstruction at all. Still considering options, but really thinking doing nothing after this. Thanks again for thoughts and prayers. We did go shopping. I’m trying out psycho bunny golf attire. 

Am I spoiled?

Yes, yes you are Spoiled… But as your better half will attest.. “You are our spoiled _____ “

 Hope your lady is doing well and that her course of action is her choice and not dictated by Medico’s  preference. 
 Good job on taking care of each other.. Y’all got this.

Glad to hear that you both are in good spirits. I have heard of the psycho bunny attire before, definitely let us know what you think about it.

I shot a respectable 42 today.. That sounds way better than ur crappy 42

Evening spies! Denver is HOT! Not used to it. Anyway, Dr said the infection was pretty bad and the CIC made the right choice to have the surgery instead of a drainage attempt. So that’s good. She’ll be on antibiotics for a while. These things happen and I’m glad we caught it when we did. I went to the PGA Superstore while she was under the knife. Was exchanging two wedges for two others. The bounce was wrong on the TaylorMades I bought last month. So I went to Vokeys. And I got a SeeMore MiniGiant. Price was $249 and I’d been eyeing it. Saved $150, so justified. 

And that’s about it. Thanks again for the thoughts and prayers. Very much appreciated!

Hope she is doing and feeling better after the procedure.

What lofts and bounce did you go with in the Vokeys?

Had my wedge fitting this afternoon and it went very well. Jason Terry with Titleist was my fitter and did a nice job. Was fitted into a 46-10F for my much needed gap wedge and 50-12F, 54-12D, and 58-12D to finish out the set. Hopefully, these new tools and some good practice can bring back my short game from a few years ago... I'm hopeful but not taking any bets...

Well with your new set of wedges… you will surely “ bounce “ back to having that “lofty“ short game that you want.   
   While some of the rest of us are still “ grinding “ if not totally “grounded” with our old wedges and old short game.

We all know that your lady has amazing and awesome strength… She would have to, to put up with you. Hope the surgery was a complete success and that she is resting /sleeping comfortably while her psycho clothes wearing husband is hopping around the hospital. 

[Dead Solid Bogey]

The day is done.. Tired and feeling the body wide soreness setting in. 
  May have to go into a supply chain location in the morning… If so; may stop off at a hole in the wall dive bar that serves a killer breakfast.
