  1. 2024 Most Wanted releasing? I've been sitting on a data-analysis post waiting for the latest drop! It's usually in February as far as I remember, and I'm jonesing for the post to drop!
  2. @CFreddie and I are twins this week. Great minds think alike, fools seldom differ. I guess we'll see which of the two we are by Sunday!
  3. Second this! Arrowhead is tough to beat in my mind for value at a public course. St Andrews is also a go-to, as is Prairie Landing (which sits at the end of an executive airport for you aviation nerds). Also, Geneva National just north of us in Wisconsin just renovated their group cottages. Add this to your future midwest group outing plans!
  4. Primarily an indoor CCE user here: my garage floor is finished with a commercial-grade product (basically epoxy with some color flecks). One downside to the CCE is it slides under my feet over time as I'm hitting, even if I butt one side up against a wall or concrete step. I've thought about gluing some kind of tacky substance on the bottom to increase its grip to the floor, but it hasn't been annoying enough to take action. I have left it outside in the past, and my only comment would be that the material that allows it to hold a tee also seems to hold a TREMENDOUS amount of water if it rains. I left it out in a storm once and I could barely lift the thing to flip and drain it. Maybe my desk-jockey arms are weak, but it was bad enough that I never leave it out anymore. Hope that helps!
  5. Pour one out for Beeks, @cciciora13, @CFreddie, Jnoble89, KoohFloppinonem, MrGolf, @Pettitt95, and @Placasse61 folks!
  6. If you're in the western burbs, go break them in at Kishwaukee in DeKalb. The running joke, as far as I recall, is that the course might as well be called Sub 90 with how many Sub 70 staff and club users call Kishwaukee home. Then if you don't like the clubs, you can complain directly to the folks who built them for you!
  7. Fantastic! Will a right-hand glove for us lefties be an option? Edit: helps if I click the sign up link and read, eh? I am very, very tired today
  8. Congrats to you three, and great work on driving new content and traffic to the forums! Throwing my hat into the @GolfSpy_KFT guessing ring: Kick Fight Tackle Potassium Fluoride Titanium (you weird chemist, you!) Keep F'ing Talking Knees Flow Through Knuckles Face Target Can't Spell Good
  9. Quick update here - I was able to connect with Gravity Caddy last week. I haven't heard back with any shipping confirmation or tracking information. I'll keep an eye out for unexpected packages and update if I hear anything else!
  10. Greetings from near the bottom! What a doozy of a day - hopefully we'll see some separation tomorrow in the field.
  11. Welcome @fezzerino! Assuming you’re with United, but I won’t hold your feet to the fire there . I think you’ll find a good group, and a growing number, of Chicagoland members here.
  12. Check out the Mistwood Golf Dome in Bolingbrook. I'm not sure if toptracer would interfere with any testing of your own, but its indoors at least!
  13. This the same Cutler you're talking about? I'm all about recognizing talent when we talk about "bests", so long as we also recognize effort, attitude, and results. I'd pick Jim McMahon in that time frame but "who was the biggest wasted talent" isn't a particularly fun topic for me. Unless we're talking about the Lions. Then we have PLENTY of material to chat about .
  14. Guessing here, but on the RYP page, the banner message says "You pick 5 PGA players for each tournament. You will receive the winnings and the FedEx points of the players you picked." The rank on the leaderboard is based off of cumulative under-par, not FedEx points or winnings though. That might be the source of confusion. On a different note for anyone who cares / just to stir the pot , here's the staff rankings as of week 2. A fun subplot to keep track of!
  15. To say this is unexpected would be an incredible understatement. First off, welcome to MGS and thank you for being receptive to feedback. I truly believe companies that don’t shy away from constructive criticism will outlast their peers who don’t. Major kudos for identifying this thread and for the direct engagement – some other OEMs could take a lesson from you all there! Second, I appreciate the generosity in offering the Jumbo Caddy. As someone who has small business owners in the family, I recognize it’s not a trivial cost. I’ll take you up on the offer, and re-review it along with comparisons between versions with the same rigor and independence that would be expected of an official forum test. As @GolfSpy_APH(our Forum Director) can probably attest to at this point, I am nothing if not thorough. At a glance, I see that the Jumbo is targeted toward commercial or professional use so my perspective may be outside your target demographic. I can’t make any promises, but I’ll do my best to take it to a few local pros and get reactions from those who may best benefit from the Jumbo version. I will reach out via email (with some proof of my identify on MGS) for next steps. To the forum: I’ll keep you updated throughout the process! Again, thanks and welcome to the forum @Gravity Caddy Canada.
  16. Fantastic write up, and a similar story for me today with my Cobra event. I saw +7 yards and maybe 200 RPM less than my gamer, but with a new push miss added to the dispersion. The fitter said that he was much more excited about the Taylormade and Callaway club this year, having already demo'd all of the available options. Looks like a potential down year for Cobra - bummer!
  17. Auto return putting mat at Menards for $29.99. https://www.menards.com/main/grocery-home/toys/activity-pretend-play-toys/golf-green-auto-return-putting-mat/b097s7jm4l/p-1642874308358991-c-12327.htm
  18. Good morning all. Woke up to this view on the security cameras with a whole day of it to go: Stay safe out there fellow midwesterners!
  19. Words cannot describe how excited I am as a predominantly Cobra player. I play Cobra, I play graphite shafts, so naturally everyone thinks I’m 700 years old. If I’m going to play like an old man, at least I’ll look awesome doing so! Absolutely elated - great job on the aesthetics Cobra!
  20. I'm going to be losing a lot of money in February by the time all of these new balls release. I'm really intrigued by the pearlescent finish - I really don't like to spend the time examining balls to figure out which one is mine on the course, which is half the reason I played red and blue matte balls for so long. Time to build out a list of everything I'm going to need to pick up at the PGA superstore. I really wish sing sleeves were more readily available, but c'est la vie!
  21. Nah, you just need to exercise your marketing muscles. "This cutting edge indoor golf range comes with advanced features that promote enhanced reaction times, foster heightened situational awareness, develop fast-twitch muscle fibers, build dynamic ball flight awareness, and keep your mind sharp in new and exciting ways!"
  22. I’m tempted to redeem this, fine print and all, just to destroy whatever horcrux this thread is and send O Works back to the shadow realm!
  23. I'd love it too if I carried my PW 140 yards, yeesh! Got any workout tips for us weaklings in the back? Very excited for you - keep it coming!
  24. Well you piqued my interest. Had to dig around in the basement to find my calipers (thanks Christmas decorations! Now I don’t know where anything is again). Looks like I’ll be ordering a 1/4” hole punch.
