Really digging this! Even beyond the golf setup, I like what you've done with the walls. Looks great!

Got the desk built for my office and set up the golf zone as well. Ordered the club holders from Amazon and displaying the set I built. 

Very nicely done Josh!

Thanks!  I had done most of it a while back and had been doing my real estate videos with the black wall but needed a place to display the clubs and can still do videos and may even add some golf related ones in the mix

@Erin B. Great news!  How's she feeling?

@Josh Parker. Looks great!!!

Evening spies. Afraid work has once again taken over in the "sucks" division. Really rough one today. A Promotion opportunity has came up, and I'm probably turning it down. While the 3% pay bump would be something, the admin side is not my speed, and there is a squad transfer involved that I'm not interested in, at all!!! I've worked too long and hard to aquire a solid day shift assignment and have a great team of officers under me.  Plus as a LT. the paperwork side is insane!

Evening, Spies! After an afternoon of honey-dos and taxi service, I did a Rypstick workout tonight, My shoulder is still sore from recent FFG workouts, so I expected that the speed would be a little down, and it was. Average of 88, never got over 89. I think I'll space things out and not do another Rypstick until probably Saturday morning, and see if some of the MPHs come back. But it's nice that an average of 88 is a bit disappointing, given my starting point of 80 four months ago. Rypstick says 10% of people who do their program for two months see 10+ mph gains. I'm well past two months, but I'm also past 10 mph.

Still thinking about the new driver shaft (GT Brava) the fitter suggested, but have to pay off some more of the Scotland trip before I pull the trigger, I think. Which may put it into the late fall or winter. That may be my self-Santa gift.

Good evening Spies on what was another tropical day here in the Motor City area.

@Josh Parker all I will say is that is an awesome space, very well done! 

Did get a round in earlier today, was low to mid 80's when we started, and 91 with humidity over 80% when we finished.

Played well and will post that tomorrow. Wore shorts and a tee shirt and actually came home drenched afterwards.

Supposede to have a couple more days of high heat, humidity, and on and off storms popping up before we get back to more normal temperatures early next week.

Love how u have the tripod, cart, and staff bags in the same display.. Very well thought out! The lighting just magnifies the space too! Hope to have something like this one day

Good Thursday evening spies!!! Just got off the course and played very well. My golf shot app wasn’t tracking everything it should have, don’t know why but it did track the score:

I didn’t hit 100% fairways, but 75% is closer to reality. I demoed the new Titleist GT3 and if it would have been the 4 it probably would have made it in the bag. The 3 is a great club though. It was a Tensi blue stiff shaft and usually I’m not to good with the blue. I was today though. Not as long as my Paradym but it was straight. Not a bad evening all in all, how was yours?

[Josh Parker]

Nice round @Erin B!

I just finished up a round with a buddy and hit the ball pretty well overall. Made some simple mistake but also made back to back birdies. 

Hoping to get a round in tomorrow morning before some work obligations. 

[Rob Person]

Awesome @Erin B !  Same to you as well  @Josh Parker !

Evening spies!  Today's day was better than yesterday's for sure!  Was even able to listen in on the CC!

Definitely catch the replay if you can!

I wanted to catch that call but went to eat with the family.. Figured it was gonna be a good one

Good evening everyone. Long day after caddying and playing and tired as hell, lol. Managed to get a good round in despite being hot and tired. Playing again on Sunday but the next few days are all about trying to get mentally ready for school to start back up. Each year it seems like summer passes more quickly.

@Preeway it was hot as hell here too. Good luck with school!

@Rob Person wanted to catch the call, but the game was calling me. I demoed the GR3 because my club didn’t have the 4. One of the best Titleist drivers I’ve ever hit. Even hit it off the deck as well as my Paradym. Maybe if my club gets a 4 I’ll demo that. I can see it in my bag.

@Josh Parker both you and @Rob Person should join me, @BallsLeon @cksurfdude and @Preeway in Nebraska next year!!! Niche birdies as well! Birdie hunting was good to us today!!!

Good evening Spies from another tropical day here.

Did manage to get another round in, same course as yesterday, and same weather conditions. HOT and HUMID. 

Think I lost 5 pounds the last 2 days just walking and playing 18 each day, and coming home drenched from sweat while wearing shorts and a tee shirt.

And the Motocaddy performed flawlessly both days, although I did charge it again before taking it out for the second day in a row. 

Rain in the forecast for tomorrow, and prior commitments for the weekend means my next rounds will be next week when the weather turns to be much more comfortable.

Good evening spies,

Golfed this morning, played 2 balls so I didn't keep any type of score. Wedges and putting are still killing me. 

Besides that, coursework is done for the week so you can catch me back at the range tomorrow!

Did you get to try the fairway out at all? Was just checking that out online.

No, I just tried the driver. I do want to check out the fairways though. I did hit the driver off the deck, was a good shot. I play that shot a few times a round. It gets windy in Cheyenne and I told the pro I’d run the club through as many shots as I could. I adjusted the front slide weight all over and found that for me, it’s best closest to the heel.

Place doesnt matter.  PXG is good stuff no matter where they rent space.  Outlandish prices at first but now not so.  I just visited their brand new store near Torrey Pines, on Miramar Rd San Diego.  IMOH for the money as worthwhile as all the other big names. He hired away Ping's #1 engineer .

Those of you that follow me know that we had a scramble today. I was the highest handicap on our team and we completely destroyed everyone for the second consecutive year. We got booed again. Love hearing the boos when we win. 

It’s a scramble for goodness sake!!! When you have a team who’s higher handicap is a 10 you’re gonna have to play your best golf. We shot a 44. @Derek Eskam put together a good group. Was a lot of fun, again!

[Erin B]

Fudge!!! Just found out I’m the “A” player for Sunday’s club scramble. 5 years in a row… I’m a 10 damnit!!!
