Seems like nothing that a few tweaks can't fix @Erin B but you had a great time and that's what matters the most (unless you're winning, then winning is all that ever will matter!)

Nicely done!  I love the ball!

Winning is the most fun, but still had a great time! I do love the “LetsFcancer” OnCore did for me. I love the small companies but there have been too many inconsistencies with OnCore lately. I can’t afford to shell out 40$ per dozen if every ball doesn’t perform the same. The Callaway CT/X and ProV1/X and - are all very consistent. I am gonna start testing the remaining OnCore I have when I get some epsom salt and time. I’ve separated them out and am going to weigh them too.

[Erin B]

Ok, OnCore had three balls that weighed 46g and three that weighed 45g, Titleist left dash had three that weighed 45g and three that weighed 46g, and Callaway CTX had five that weighed 45g and one 46g. This is interesting. 

[Preeway]

I’ve never seen much of a discrepancy when I’ve weighed golf balls. That includes Kirklands. Granted, I’m using a $30 scale and my grams only go out to the nearest 1/10th place but you’d think I’d see something like the ball lab tests do. Maybe I need to buy one of the fancy scales?

What was surprising to me was the left dash. Callaway was most consistent. I’ve got all these balls I need to go through before I get to the callaway as my only go-to ball. But I still have the salt water test.

Good evening Spies on a cool Sunday evening here.

@Erin B great showing, and glad that you had a great time, even if the results were not exactly what you were hoping for. 

Best of luck with your ball testing too, although I try to utilize the MGS test results before attempting to make a ball change for myself.

No golf today, back still sore, and I watched the Rocket Mortgage tournament. Was hoping that Aaron Rai would put together another fine round, but he seemed to miss more fairways and putts today than he did all week.

Steadiest player near the top of the leaderboard was Cam Davis, and even though he had some putts roll over edges, he did enough good things to pull out the win.

Was actually frustrating to watch Cameron Young today. He seemed to get frustrated and down on himself and his putting horrible for a tour level player.

Thank you sir!!! I also like MGS ball tests, and I was fortunate to test the Callaway CT/X balls. I never thought about it that much until today. I was striking the ball so well today that it made me start thinking about it, especially right after switching from the first OnCore to the other one. Same sleeve and number ball too. Then to switch back and get the results prior to the switch made me start really thinking about it. I was having consistency problems earlier in the year and last season with OnCore but I wanted to play the cancer awareness ball this weekend for my spousal unit. Anyway, I still had a great time!!!

rough couple of days in the homestead.... Mrs. Stroker is starting to lose her hair and the phsyical effects of chemotherapy are starting to show.

she found a wig that looks fantastic and she's going to pick that up on Tuesday but for her, losing her hair, is the absolute worst. She's a Jersey girl and loves her hair.... hopefully the wig helps pick up her spirits.

Another chemo session in about 12 hours and reality is starting to set in.

Hope everyone is doing well ... been offline for a few days working that the senior open in Newport. Going to write up and share some pics. an awesome experience that I am so grateful for.

be well, spies!

[Tom the Golf Nut]

@StrokerAce we are praying for your wife. Keep things light around the house and remind her things will get better. I’m sure the wig will look great and sooner than you think this will be behind you and her hair will grow back fuller than ever. 

[Preeway]

Sorry to hear about the spousal unit. Hope her chemo works smoothly for her and ends soon.

My spousal unit and I were just talking about you and yours. You’re in our thoughts and prayers! Here’s the CIC with her due! 

Keep up the fight!

Thoughts and prayers with your wife and family. Best wishes for speedy treatment protocol and recovery... 

[Rob Person]

As always, prayers on speed dial. It's hard to watch the ones we love go through something so life altering.

I'm still keeping your wife in my thoughts and prayers, Jason. I know it's tough losing her hair, but once she's healed it'll grow back strong and healthy. I hope the wigs help her until then. 

My sister went through the same thing, I think women are taught they're only valued because of their looks and in truth it's for so many reasons other than that. Keep letting her know she's loved and valued for the person she is. 

[StrokerAce]

thanks all for the support and kind thoughts. I will pass them along and we'll keep up the fight.

[Erin B]

Good evening spies! Came across some funnies today:

and I want to join these marshals!!!

My golf course needs the few, the proud, the marshals!

Took the Dane and a ween to the vet for shots. WOW the cost!!! Thanks Joe! Great economy we’re living in. Anyway they got a clean bill of health. No golf today for me. That’s about all I have to report!

[Preeway]

Good evening everyone. Casual day at the lake with a lot of nothing going on. Just what my body needed. Updated my Ventus testing with some sim data breakdown. Still working on the best way to share playing data with a driver shaft that isn't boring. More pics? Need to re-read the Autoflex thread for more ideas. Hope everyone has a great evening!

[Swood1994]

Good evening spies,

Winding down the day at Chicago O’Hare Airport with a solid goose island ipa. Reminiscing on a great weekend but excited to get back home to the wife and kids.

thoughts and prayers are appreciated as work tomorrow is going to suck .

have a good night everyone!

Good call. Forgot about that one.

Good evening Spies on a still working on SWMBO sisters vehicle. Bigger project than originally planned but still will get it done today even if it is late. 
 

I am planning on range time tomorrow and a round scheduled for Wednesday.

@Preeway enjoy your time in the Ozarks, I have some friends who live in various areas of that region.

Evening spies!  100+ notifications, and sorry if I don't get to most of them. Been a hard day here. Had some bad storms roll in overnight and a tree took out my water pressure tank. Not sure when it happened but the well pump ran continuously for at least 5 hours before the motor seized. Also had a lake behind the storage area 

Needless to say it was a costly day, (approximately $1400) and 112⁰ index didn't help. I've consumed minimum 3 gallons of water. Noone I called was able to assist me either. I'm probably 3/4 done with getting it back together.... by myself.

The tank and pump were 20+ years old.

Here's some sympathy pictures.

Mapping out before I head to the home depot.

new tank installed 

this is what 122 feet of pipe and a seized pump look like.

 

All that is left for tomorrow is to wire the new pump, water tight seal the connections, drop the pump down, prime the unit,  reconnect it to the system, pressurize the lines, and fingers crossed I have water!

Also had to buy 250' of garden hose to tie into another system, thanks to the generosity of my elderly back neighbor, so lady boss and I can shower and have water.

Sorry to hear about your misfortune but glad to hear you incurred no personal injury as a result of the storm.

If you lived here or I there I’d happily give you a hand.

We also had a terrible storm last night. Was surprised we didn’t have a touchdown.

Dam, seems like when it rains it pours, nice plumbing work.my freezer is in limbo.. I messed with the timer and seems that it started to cool, giving it a day or so to see.

[buckpillar]

Morning and night, just catching my second wind at work, not much going on across the country tonight which is a blessing for a change. Practiced some putting before I left for work made 31 / 35 from 8 ft not to bad, need more practice at the course and on the backyard green. I hope you all have a great day and play your best.

As @Northern Monkey mentioned, hoping that this all goes as easily as possible for you Rob, @Rob Person .

[Rob Person]

While I know it is not evening time, I thought I would just give everyone an update.

Started the wiring and re-assembly this morning and by 10am was done. Several tests were done as a check and balance prior to tying up the connection to the tank. The pump is back in its 120' + resting place and pumping like it should! 

Called the lady boss and gave her the good news, she was very happy from what I could tell over the phone.  Then she proceeded to give me a reminder of the other honey-do list items... 

I nodded in agreement silently, then went and played 9 holes!
