Update for folks wondering. @GolfSpy STUDque has gone through and selected the divisions, we are currently putting them together on the back end and making last minute tuneups to scoring (aka adding the carry bonus), testing to make sure everything runs as intended, and getting things set. Expect a post hopefully later today with divisional announcements, draft times, and all the stuff you're craving.

Wow, what a finish to the BMW. Here's our updated standings playoff picture. Congrats to our Final 10: @Scott33 @Apolloshowl @HardcoreLooper @Rwagn4 @JudgeSmails @Undershooter @jahren01 @GolfSpy Dave @Steve2100 and @daviddvm Who likes their chances?

After my putter let me down the other evening, we became friends again today...lol. 38/36 for a 74 today.

Go team! I'm pumped to be a part of the challenge and hopefully help @edingc get a late boost! Although I might need to get in some calf raises quick before our round to live up to the team standard...

I'm lucky because he has done an excellent job explaining himself in more than one place! I'm honored to be playing with fellow Spy @ncwoz this upcoming weekend. Really early in the season, pre-COVID, Nate flagged me down at one our local courses just as I was about to tee off No. 1. I think the plan was to originally get together for a round sometime earlier this summer, but with everything going on it just hasn't happened. I figured this challenge was as good of an opportunity as we were going to get. From what I know about his game, I'm hoping he's an asset off the tee and on the green, both of which tend to be weak spots for me. I'll be curious to see how he gets along with the SpeedZone irons since I know he has been in the market for a new set for quite some time. On my end of things, since we're playing my home course (where he has played before but not as often as me), I'm hoping my local knowledge will give us a big step up on the competition. I feel like two solid finishes over the final two weeks of this challenge could bump me up a ways in the rankings. Realistically, I'm just looking forward to the round and I think it will be a lot of fun!

Hit some great shots and some really bad ones for a 93. The new swing continues to make it frustrating to play but is improving. The two highlights of the round was I managed 270 off the tee on 3 holes and I had no 3 putts.

We had our annual Ryder cup style event this weekend. Made 8 birdies over 2 days and won my singles match 2 up. Halved the 4 ball. Also had 4 doubles. Ugh. Tidy up some loose swings and short misses and I shoot 68/69. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy

Let me explain, I created one for a 16 round draft, then I created one with a 14 round draft. These are likely not the final order because @GolfSpy STUDque and I, plus the other commissioners are discussing roster maximums and how they will work with Covid. I will probably need to create one more draft order, which will be the final draft order. Disregard those two emails

I am offended that I have not receive any requests to be a playing partner.

Everyone's getting a 'breakfast ball' except for @MattF and @Mr_Theoo. They both said they're arriving early and going to the driving range. I think they're really secretly going to #1 to scope it out before all of us get to the tee box. .

I'm pretty conservative actually...unless @Mr_Theoo needles me into doing something stupid. I'll most likely take 3 wood off the tee.

I think I should start whining. OK, today was better... if you call 87 better than 88. Nothing good happened today, but nothing really bad either; only one double. Seemed like I was always scrambling to make a par... and didn't. I think I need a break.

I assume you're asking about the cart flamingo in my profile photo. Luckily we don't have any tunnels. No, that flamingo is long gone. We had a cart decorating contest along with our Flamingo Tournament (we won!). We did drive it throughout the tournament but a low tree limb close to the end caught the neck and demolished it. We have fun decorating our carts for special events. Like every Christmas we have a night time lighted cart and old car parade through the neighborhoods that surround our course. It's fun, a fire truck leads us blowing the horn and I hang off the back of our cart to throw candy to the kids. One hard and fast rule, nothing can be attached in a way that is permanent or damages the cart. I'm not a super serious golfer, but I have a super great time with our golf community - club, course and neighborhood.

Another 81 after putting together a nice 39 on the front, though needing a couple birdies to get that done just not able to keep it together on the back, closing in 42. Driver was a bit all over the place, but working on some swing changes so it was to be expected. Onto the next one.

Ooo, fond memories of my Onewheel. Stay safe. I hope you wear a helmet when on the streets. They work Heres what a shutdown at 21.7mph looks like:

Week 6 Recap Competitors: Our heroes went flag hunting this and almost delivered on the perfect moment of a Hole in One during the challenge. @Headhammer went out with a BANG leaving his within 2 inches and, literally, inching out @B.Boston for this week's win. With another consistent week, @daviddvm holds on to the the top spot (by virtue of tiebreaker) with the duck boats hot on his heels. Unfortunately we're losing Hammer to injury from here on out but he can certainly be proud of his recent surge up the leaderboard. Fans: Halloween costumes were RIGHT. You guys are scary. We're going to shoot these off to Cobra for input as well so stay tuned for a formal announcement in a day or two. If you want to see them all in one place, check out this Google Slideshow: HERE - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Week 7 - IRL Alt Shot Competitors: This week will take teamwork. Our competitors have been tasked with finding an in-real-life person to act as their alt shot partner. We gave them a few different options to accomplish this in a COVID-friendly environment but the task is simple: shoot the lowest CCNet score in an alt shot format. The CCNet formula got a little bump in complexity as we'll now be needing the partner's HC in addition to the Slope and Rating of the tees played. Fans: Sorry, this will be a limited field event. The partner of the winning competitor will bring home this week's Puma Swag. We would also like to hear from the IRL teammate with their thoughts of the Cobra setup, recognizing the fact that they may not be a perfect fit size-wise.

Had a fun time playing with my oldest son and my dad today. My father in law couldn’t make it so @Lacassem’s brother played with us. I shot a smooth even par 27 with 5 GIR and 4 up and downs. I wish I could make all approach shots like that on a regular course! The holes varied today from a low of about 90 yards to a long of 170. It was a surprising mix of looks with some up and down hill too. None of my shots really tracked to the flag as I was favoring a cut shot today that I never started far enough left. I was happily pin high a lot so I’ll take it. Here are a few pics from the day: Jackson hit the ball really well on this hole here and might have had made the green but it tailed off into the environmentally sensitive area and was unfortunately lost. He still had a great time though! It was a really good hit, just to a bad spot. I told him Daddy does that all the time too. And one last one of the three generations of Pluta men golfing together for the first time!

Welp, that’s the worst round of the challenge for me... at this point, I’m deciding which screenshots of my “adventures” make the cut. Need to work on some consistency apparently... Yes, that’s a 49 yard drive off the opening tee. Scramble much? That ain’t the right fairway. Nor are you supposed to be on the previous hole’s teebox for your third. “Nice drive dumba$$!” -me on the green “Wait, it’s where?!?” - me to the group on the 8th hole. Not cart path aided. Must have been doping before that shot...

Man, what a crazy tough league. I had 8 guys for the tournament this weekend (though Leishman did end up with negative points) and four set for next week and it still wasn't enough to get to the championship. Thanks to MGS for running the league again this year and good luck to the final 10 teams!

Good luck to the final 10. What a crazy season!

Thanks for caring. We did it again today. We are part of an active fun group of golf friends that play some kind of game almost every Sat and Sun. Today there were 26 of us braving the heat, but no walkers in this oven. I wouldn't want to walk in this heat, it's too far back to the pro shop if you need to quit. Everyone stayed hydrated and drove our carts from one shady spot to the next. One man even brought an ice chest full of new Gatorade flavors (like watermelon) and Gatorade golf towels to share with all of us. Used my umbrella on the greens to stay cool through #8 when a little breeze kicked up. Doesn't take much wind to tumble my umbrella down the fairway. I'd rather have the breeze. I almost didn't care about the heat because I played good for me with 41/48. Got kind of tired on the last 4 holes.

Save for a little compression at the top between the 4 iron and 2 hybrid, I've been really impressed with the gapping as well, even the six degree drop from gap to 54 has been more than manageable. I'm strongly considering dropping the 4 iron and replacing it with a SpeedZone 4 hybrid (21 degrees) and I think it would be about perfect. I'm really digging the SpeedZone irons more and more as I've been playing more. Since the initial club reviews were so early on in the process, I want to do a mini-follow up on the driver, irons and wedges when this is all over. I wouldn't change my overall scores at all, but I definitely have some additional thoughts that would be good to centralize.

Shift dinner tomorrow night

I played a full round Sunday with my Grandson and had a great day. 1st time I really got to us these on the course.. As someone who normally does not get a lot of stop on my wedges these wedges created some problems for me. typically play short of the flag and let the ball release, well that did not happen. I left several shots Shorter than I wanted.. On a couple of full shots the Ball went NOWHERE.. literally, No where.. this 1st shot was a full 58* from about 70yds into the 1st green. As you can see it slammed on the Brakes. this was to about 15ft. missed the birdie, but made par. on the 6th hole from about 65yds, another full wedge in as you can see it bounced and stopped into it's own ball mark.. Birdie.. I had several chips that one or two hopped and checked up.. that left longer putts than i was hoping for. The clickyness was less noticeable while playing, but he weight was more apparent, Could have been my back. Back started getting stiff on back 9 as we were waiting a lot, But still VERY happy with the round.. best all around round in the last 6-7 rounds.. All in all it was a great day, went 38/46 for an 84.

My wife's been complaining about the smell of my feet the last few weeks after my rounds, so a new pair of sneaks were in order. Per the MGS spikeless shoe buying guide, I ordered a pair of the Inesis Waterproof shoes, and am impressed! Not sure I'm 100% sold on the style, but everything else is an A+ on initial impression. Never had spikeless shoes before, but this outsole looks like it'll grip well. And for only $79.99, yes please!

Hey @daviddvm @GB13 @edingc and @B.Boston. Do you guys mind telling us a little bit about your partners that’ll be alternating shots with you think week?

Kanibi seems as interested in the results of this forum review as I am! I've already received the product and they surprised all of us testers with variety packs so we'll each get to test the oil tincture, gummies, and topical cream!!! I fully intend to leverage the data collected by my Whoop strap which I have been using since December of last year. I want to see if I can identify some solid, objective, numerical evidence to support whatever results I experience using these CBD products. My plan is to create a 10-day baseline and then use the products for 30-days and record my results. Based on the reading I've done about CBD products so far, I intend to use the gummies nightly to see if they help with sleep and early-morning bed pain. I'll use the oil tincture immediately prior to golf rounds and practice sessions (currently 1-2 times per week) to try and evaluate any performance benefits such as increased focus and reduction in nerves. Finally, I plan to simply use the topical cream as needed directly on pain sites. I've been working out consistently over the past couple months and recently increased the number of workouts I perform weekly. One thing I've noticed of late is that I've begun to experience lingering leg pain and fatigue as a result of the cardio work I've been doing. Nothing of serious concern, but I'm 225lbs on a 5'11" frame and 33-years old - I'm curious to see if CBD provides any benefit for me in this area. I'll have more information and pictures to post as I go!

After 3 weeks off, I shot 104. Ouch. Turns out if you don't play or practice for a few weeks your feel goes to crap. Overall it was a good day and it was crazy windy. Everyone in my foursome was about 15 strokes higher than usual.

As someone who lived in Arizona for the better part of 3 years. Hydration hydration hydration. Especially if the water is cold, it can be a life saver. My record was 5 water bottles on the course and a 6th in the car. Played twice after my 35. Had to find out if it was the barefeet that made the difference from that under par round. I played another 9 barefoot at our sister course Thursday and started bogey bogey. After that, I was even coming in. Other than a ball in the water on an island green and a follow up birdie after driving the green on a par 4, they were almost all tap in pars. Played up a tee box from the usual blues at my home course and started with 45 on the front . Rallied on the back for a 40 to break 90 for the first time this year. The 85 is more than a good score, it's more a reflection of how far I've come over last 2-3 months I'd say up until last year I was flipping my wrists and relying on great timing which lead to a lot of great rounds and a lot of really poor rounds. After a lesson plus an informal lesson this summer, my game is now more consistent then ever and think I have a legit chance of breaking 80 in the near future.

We have already started talking about how this heat stuff is now going to affect my friend and we need to watch out for her.

Yeah, always a helmet on the streets, and I rarely go above 17, mostly, I just use it for golf and cruises. Still haven't taken a spill on it. So, here is hoping that trend stays.

... Funny how that works. We would gladly give up several days of golf for some rain. This is the driest I can remember courses and our homes/gardens/trees in a long time. I don't care about the grass but the trees need water. We are just in a pocket where rain has fallen 20 miles north or south of us but we have gotten zero rain. After the wettest May in history we are paying for it now.

Sorry to hear about your friend, and glad she is better now. My wife got heat stroke on a 4th of July party many years ago and still has problems when the temps get above 100. One time during a golf tournament at the Marriott Starr Pass in Tucson in July, she was riding with a friend of ours when we came off a green and the route to the next tee crossed a street. The clubhouse was 1/2 block down the street, and she said that he could take her to the clubhouse now, or call an ambulance on the next tee. They went to the clubhouse. Another trip to Phoenix we played TPC Scottsdale in July. She made it to the clubhouse, but was sick for a couple of hours after. She has to be very careful. Question: Does that flamingo stay on your golf cart permanently? It wouldn't make it through a tunnel on our course.

Yes, she is ok. They got her cooled and hydrated; then ran a bunch of tests to make sure everything checked out. Sent her home last night with instructions to not go outside for a few days. We missed her not being able to play with us today. She's always there.

Had a fun 3 day weekend up at lake Winnipesaukee in NH. Had only 1 nice day but my daughter enjoyed puddle jumping downtown in the rain. Nice to get away and just unplug with family on the boat, playing cards and crushing some margaritas even though it wasn’t the warmest weekend. my son on the way back still insists he wasn’t sleeping.....needless to say all the kiddos are wiped

I did make it out to my local course yesterday and I did avoid a heat stroke thanks to an isolated shower that pleasantly interrupted my round between the 5th and 6th holes. I was striking the ball well on the first hole and almost sunk a long birdie putt from just off the green, then after a good drive on the second I hit a series of horrible shots that made me wonder if the effort was worthwhile in the heat. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, And The Uglier! What's going on here? I tried to refocus. Hit pretty nice drive into some newly arriving wind gusts as it started to sprinkle, followed by a 9 iron shot that danced around the pin that I thought was going to really good and turned out to be competitive at least. But I missed the little downhill slider for birdie. The shot landed below the hole then stopped above the hole which appeared to be much closer from fairway view. At this time the greens were very firm. This was a high nine iron into a fairly stiff breeze and still hopped 15 feet from ball mark. Then the shower interupted play for about a half hour. I just set in my cart under a canopy of trees and waited it out. Once the rain stopped next up a par 3 6th hole. I pulled the 9 iron off the tee but distance was spot on. And I made a really nice putt! Not sure why I measured this one I knew it was further away than the previous hole. But turned out nice to know the exact length since I holed the putt. With the rain soften greens this 9 iron shot stopped quickly and spun back. next up the par 5, 7th hole. Wait for it... This is my entry for closest to the hole challenge this week! My magic ONE length 7 iron to the rescue after a mediocre drive and a pulled 5 wood that I thought may have gone into the creek but stopped in the rough. Beautiful high seven over the trees stopping pin high ! Yes I made the putt. The last two holes were anticlimactic and after slightly more than two hour front nine I decided I had enough.

Time to say goodbye to my beloved Titleist 816 H1 hybrids... Picked up a pair of 3 & 4 apex 2019's....

Had a great Day out with my grandson yesterday, this is only his 2nd real golf experience.. we had a good time.. I tweaked my back on fri at work so was a little stiff but felt OK when we tee'd off. Put the Cleveland Zipcore wedge into play on the 1st hole. Stuck it to about 15 feet, when I say stuck it I mean stuck it. moved a putter length from the ball mark.. Par... played the front 9 good we had to wait for a group of tour pro's throughout the whole round... by about 9 the back started stiffening up while having to wait.. shot a front 9, 38. Had a long wait on 10 and got stiff, proceeded to struggle through the back. When we were able to keep playing I got into a good groove and played well, if i had to wait any all bets were off.. All in all a great day shot a 46 on the back to go 84 for the day, on a course that the last time I played I shot a 111.. so I am very happy with the round..

I played 3 rounds this weekend while using the watch. Working on formulating my full thoughts, but I have to say so far I've been torn on how I feel about the watch and the software. The amount of detail is almost overwhelming at times and I've found it distracting. I'll look at the contour of the greens and the yardage to clear bunkers and stay safe and it clutters my mind. I am seeing somewhere around ~1 stroke a hole lower on the holes I strictly use the front middle back information. Unfortunately, yesterday I caught a root in the rough on the 17th hole in my downswing and have sprained my right wrist a bit. It's not bad, but I'll be taking the week off of golf. My next round will be next Sunday at the Harbor Course at Wild Dunes in Isle of Palms.

Tweaked my hammy doing some yardwork yesterday, so going to sit out a week and make sure I don't do anything to make it worse.

I think we should all get a breakfast ball to give it a shot, if they choose... just for fun.

270? Hah, another one who's going to try for the green on #1 on Sept. 12th. A very deep greenside bunker will be calling your name.

You need to light the afterburner my son. I'm still team VenomSpitter but we're DFL right now.

Damn, I had ZERO Cobra product placement in mine.

I have Mackenzie Hughes to thank for my advance to East Lake...He had to make that final putt on 18 to advance him and me for the first time to THE FINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks Bro!!!!!

Rounding up the photos and I just have to say: these crop jobs are an abomination

Shot a 41/44:85 yesterday with no birds. Course was 90*. Then, it rained all night so played Cart Path only today, shooting 45/45:90. Rain started again on back nine. By the time we got to 18, the green was unputtable. Very sloppy play today, but I love a challenge. Wanted to see how SS V3 did in the rain....only missed a couple shots, like when it took me 2 to get out of @ bunker....lol Sent from my iPad using MyGolfSpy Tour Edge Exotics EXS(11.5*)w/ Mitsubishi Tense ck Blue Regular; 3W & 5W Cobra King F8 w/ Mitsubishi Tense ck Blue Regular shafts; Tour Edge CBX119 22* Hybrid w/Project X Evenflo Regular shaft; Wilson Staff D-7 5-PW + GW + SW w/UST Mamiya Recoil 460 Regular graphite shafts; Cleveland RTX Zipcore LW(58*) w/DG Spinner shaft.
