I don't know that I'd say that necessarily.
I have to take D, 3W, and orange whip out of the bag to fit the bag in. When looking at pushcarts, my wife knew space was at a premium so was looking at things that folded as small as possible. I love the car, but it is certainly not optimal for golf clubs. I have fit two bags a couple times, but it always makes me cringe when closing the trunk.
I wasn't thinking of hot hatches... Should have clarified 4 door hatch or wagon style cars.

Slow start for the squad, but still nobody entirely out of it. Hoping for some low scores and dropped putts with 4 making the cut. Common Fleetwood turn it around!

Now the follow up question is how can we get one at retail?!?
Buy one and take some sandpaper to the face! Start with 200 grit and work your way to 1000 and it will be nice and shiny haha

I reached out to Srixon for answers on both these questions/comments. Here are the replies form the R&D team.
Hideki is very particular about driver shapes. He prefers a contrasting face and topline to help alignment – his head actually has the PVD on the face removed. Hideki prefers a slightly larger address profile, and that is why he gravitated towards the ZX5 driver.
Hideki enjoys tinkering with his build specs. He will test different shafts, lengths, etc. Because of this, we always have lead tape around to help him perfect the feel and weight that he desires. Hideki has an incredible perception for feel.
Really cool insight and depth. I can only imagine having that level of perception with clubs... And the company to build all that for me. I know there are shapes and preferences I have, but they are no comparison to him or many others.

Honestly any hatch... This is the car I bought when I moved here. Fits my partner, 3 dogs, golf clubs and more! 2010 BMW i116 and her name is Zelda. Few extra bonuses are if you have a clicgear or friends Clubs it's a quick fold seat down and your off!!

Is this a real Cobra F8 driver? I thought the only blue one was the Camo Blue.
Yes it is, probably hard to find now. But I remember testing it back when it released and almost bought it on the spot.

At least you are getting a new sensor? I have had to get 4 to 6 new sensors from them for my set over the last few years. I didn't use the system that much last season, but I found the sensors would bug out if you tried to change clubs and so on, which didn't work out too well when I was trying to track different clubs for MGS testing. I plan on going through all of them this week to see how they are. The one good thing is they seem to know there are issues with them and are very willing to send out new ones very quickly. Even out of the box I had 2 sensors that were dead, but had new ones at my door in 2 days.

Well that certainly has my interest peaked! I did really like the i500's and would make sense that the new series would be coming out about now. The i500's and i210's released nearly 2 seasons ago. I had something similar when I ordered my wedges from Ping and they said there were far fewer options available then the specifics I wanted. Only made X or Y were available if I wanted them. The rep didn't say anything more only they weren't available and about 3 weeks later the Glide 3.0 came out.

Maybe my offers got cancelled, I did not get a chance to look at them yesterday.
What is very likely is there were offers that included players who ended up being dropped during the waiver process and therefore were no longer available which then cancelled the offers. That is what I would put money on.

Anyone else seeing a blank page for the pending trades?
I did get a couple of trade offers but I can't see them
I have blank, but I don't currently have any offers out and no incoming offers. I know I checked when I got notification that there was a trade accepted, but as soon as its executed it no longer shows in Pending and then is in transaction history.

The Masters Week Recap!
What a week! Congrats to Matsuyama on a classy win and a solid final round to really not give anyone a chance. (I'm still watching the replay as it was too late for me to stay up having to be up at 5am). Really happy to see him come through with the win, however its Fantasy land that we are in and here is our weekly breakdown.
High Score Team of the Week goes to @Berg Rymanwith a stellar 254.45. He was lead by Spieth, Leishman, Finau and Webb Simpson. A strong performance to say the least having 6 players on his team make the top 25. He was followed closely by @Undershooter who had 249.1 points, but he won the pool so can't take home all the awards this week!
Keeping on the 200 list, we had 10 teams crack the 200 barrier in a huge week and our League median at a 3rd toughest week at 157.07 (more to come from them shortly). So a quick congrats to cracking 200 to all those teams.
We also have a tie atop the standings! Our season long leaders are now tied a top the standings and here is our top 10 so far through 11 weeks.
We are starting to see some bigger gaps and fewer teams within the 10 wins, the next few weeks will be critical and very telling for several teams.
Also here rounds out our weekly undefeated teams.
The cut line at 35 is also seeing a bit of a gap compared to last week, however we still have Spot 54 within 10 spots of the cut line. Meaning there are very few if any teams that are not still in it. Despite being below .500 lots of time left. For reference I was outside the playoffs last season at the Covid Break and had a team come out on fire post break winning a few weeks and making up ground to end up in the Top 10 come playoffs, so if things seem bleak there is still very much a chance!
With 16 weeks left we are nearing the half way point in the season and there will be some big decisions to make for some teams.
There was only one trade made last week, in a quiet lead up to The Masters where I would expect to see a lot more movement after this Major with teams getting a good idea of where they stand.
Now onto the close matchups of the week. I would normaly only pick out 1 or 2 however this being a Major we will add in a few more. League Median made a few spots and matches just way too close. There were a ton of Matches within 2 points which made for a incredible week. The following are some highlighted one that truly could have gone either way.
Having matches that are within .05 of eachtoher is amazing, heartbreaking and potentially big come playoff time. Also to have 2 matches of above 200 points be as close as they were is another amazing feat. To those on the winning side, keep that lucky charm close and to those on the opposite side that is the rub of the green and maybe next time it will break your way!
Few quick other notes: Only 1 undefeated team owned Hideki which was @Rwagn4The rest had some sort of Zalatoris, Rahm or Spieth showing it certainly pays to have top players, however not a must to have the winner to go undefeated in a week.
Top Waiver Wire Player available was Robert Macintyre with 48.55 points on the week. He was owned by only 2 teams and that point total was good for 13th best on the week.
To finish off the week our Top Fantasy Points scored (what would be top teams based of last years format) so far teams are as follows. (I think this shows that are system of matches is working overall with top teams being rewarded despite the fewere matches)
Our Hard Luck teams with the most points scored against here
With that we are onto the RBC Heritage, seems like a good field and a good amount of carry over from the Masters. That being said many top players will not be attending so a battle of team depth.
Cheers all and hope everyone enjoyed a great Masters and a great week of MGS Fantasy Golf!-

Ok fellas. I send a lot of trades and completely understand if any body wishes to not trade. I try to send trades that are at the very least feasible.
If you send me a counter of 1 guy outside the top 50 for 3 guys inside the top 25 not only have you ruined any chance of me trading with you in any sport, you also come off as a complete douche. If you don’t wish to trade then simply decline the trade with a message saying so. No need to make a smart a$$ counter.
Rant over. Hope everyone enjoys Masters Sunday!
Think there is a good point here. There are some of us who love the aspects of trading and shuffling our teams around as a big part of our fantasy golf or sporting experience. Most all of us try to think out trades and to make them that are generally fair for both sides as much as possible. However we cannot know how you value players outside of the OWGR or so on. With that if there are players you do not wish to trade use the comment section in the decline stating you may want to hold the player or believe they are worth more or something of the sorts, helps both sides and if you don't want to make any trades simply say so. Nothing wrong with just prefering to hold tight with the roster you have and if that is the case it is easy to make it known via the comment sections of trades or even by updating your Trade Block.
Anyway happy Masters Sunday and trading all!

You know. That is the main reason I’ve stopped playing Fantasy Football, i just want to enjoy watching a grest game and not stress over them tsking out my RB in a goaline situation. Or kicking a FG instead of having my QB take a shot at a TD.
much less stressful.
Thats a good point, but this helps keep me invested and more into certain sports. Plus living in CET timezone a lot of live coverage is in the middle of the night and I have to be up most days by 5am or 6am so there is little chance of me watching late at night. The different Fantasy leagues certainly help me keep up with many of those sports.
However the Masters and their coverage has been great so far!-

Between this and Fantasy its stressful watching! Riding on nearly every shot which has a big effect and although I think I am a little too far back in this, I have a few guys that still can make a good event of it.

Course looks tough again today. Seems like nobody can get close to pins and when they do the putts just arn't dropping.

I think he’s saying don’t make an offer that includes both.
That makes a lot more sense!

Taking offers for English. Send them your way. Will not part with English and Smith
Will not part with English, but taking offers? Sorry I will likely make a offer but am a little confused on the post.

All 7 made the cut, this is what this team is built for! Now hope to have a few outside of JS to catch fire on the weekend to push me past Steve2100 who has Rose and Kim leading his team.
Not sure we will see anyone crack 200(0) given the conditions, however Rhyming Bergs is set up the best going into the weekend!
Who was your biggest suprise so far (player at the masters)? Good or bad? -

Alright folks Masters weekend is almost upon us. Let’s celebrate with a trade! Could be a big one or a small one doesn’t matter but everyone is on the table for the right price.
Send some offers!
I would but need to wait for the weekend to play out. Team looks solid overall at the moment and as much as I want JT I don't think I would be willing to give up enough to get him.
Unless Rory is on the cheap? (just saw him go bunker to bunker)-

so I tried to search the thread for an answer to my question but couldn't really find one. perhaps I missed it but there are a lot of pages here!
Now that you've all gone through the testing would you replace the non-dominant swings with additional dominant side? do you think that the non-dom helped much in increasing your swing speed?
apologies if I missed this somewhere in the thread; you guys did an awesome job on reporting on your progress.
I will keep doing the non dominant swings. Not only do I like seeing the progress, but I feel it helps with my overall flexibility and rhythm. I do tend to do fewer kneeling swings and fewer step changes and keep to regular swings.

RBC Heritage - 2021
in PGA Tour Events

Watching the replay of Morikawa's round I can't help but think he could have gone at least 4 shots lower. Had several short putts that just missed. He is so talented and it'll be really scary when he starts getting those to drop.
