probably a right hander trying to be smart and pull off a lefty swing....

Back in the OG Cobra Connect days it took on a new life as a GIF heavy, funny and sometimes hard to follow thread. Not going to lie I kinda miss all the goofy gifs @Nunfa0 and other legends would find and throw into the conversation. So with that in mind lets see your best golfing gifs either found or created. Just so it is known I expect very little chatter here, a lot of reactions and a whole lot of GIFs!

Hello all! We are going to try something a little new with this. With what we hope to be a great day of golf we are going to have a watch party for those who want to meet up virtually with some fellow Spys via Google Meet. The watch party will start at 4pm EST for those who want to drop in and chat with other Spys about the Presidents cup and of course the official launch of the Mizuno 923 irons! If you are interested in joining for a little bit pop on over to this link: https://meet.google.com/woz-tjde-stx and we can have a good time getting to know some other spys. We hope to make this type of call (likely max 1 hour) a weekly occurrence, so let us know what times may work best for you and we can look to adjust times to fit the majority of people. Then on special weeks we will have HQ staff join us to chat most wanted testing, lab tests and much more!

Looking forward to hearing what you think. When I went into the shop today no LH available and asked to check in other stores and same thing... None in the main big shop in Switzerland

I won't touch base on the other parts as I've said my piece. I also truly do not like LIV, what it has done to the game and how it goes about many aspects. Instead I'll just address the exhibition aspect. They may follow rules (even of they are creating some new ones with what they wear which i don't really care for one way or another) however with music blasting, shot gun start and some spectator shinnanigans it's created a atmosphere of a big party vs a serious golf tournament (my own opinion) The tone of their leadership and where they are playing for basically oodles of cash vs a trophy which to me is more of those skins matches than a serious tournament. I'll admit if I wasn't a mod i would have this whole thread ignored. Unfortunately though i have to moderate this and feel at times compelled to respond. I understand and appreciate others have opposing views, that's fine. I have mine and they aren't likely to change anytime soon.

I'm going to second looking into the glide wedges. That's a great life for that wedge and something new and fancy is deserved now!

Lets get a big thing going in May and I may even make the trip across (anyone else misspell across a ton as an arccos user?) the ocean to join in a long weekend of golfing and fun!

I think the middle ground is applying the rules and having LIV meet the requirements. Every other tour has been made to do some (I know PGA China was something a little different). The players who jumped knew this could be a issue. The best analogy I've heard for LIV and their processes (which is impressive in what they have done) They are building the plane while flying it. When LIV was created they knew all the various things that could go wrong and could happen. Rather than getting things in place before they just jumped in and went for it. Granting LIV OWGR right away would be the exception to the rule, not granting them OWGR would be following what has come before regardless of who is on the board or making decisions. Regardless of the players rank or standing currently they are playing a exhibition series. I don't see why at this current state why they should be granted them. This is all to not even touch on even if they were approved with the new system for OWGR they will struggle to get points of value. The new system relies more on larger and more depth of fields. So for LIV they get a docked points for 54 vs 72 holes and then docked again because they have a small field. Essentially giving them maybe 25% value as a guess. If LIV goes through the processes and follows the procedures that have been put in place I am all for them getting OWGR. I simply just don't see what the exception should be made because they convinced 2 big name players and a bunch of higher profile (in name more than in play) disgruntled players.

It certainly can, however there are a lot of things which have been put in place from keeping this from happening with the OWGR. I could get into it, but it would be a long long post. NLU goes into it well and thoroughly. That isn't to say there are not conflicts on both sides (including the PGA/DP Tour reps on the OWGR board) long and short of it is that it will come down to the Majors to see if they will grant LIV OWGR.

Heard peak viewership was all of 90k ppl... That is half of what is was last even when they had the whole weekend to themselves with no NFL or anything else. Big picture that is so few people turning on to watch. They made need to find a better platform to stream on, because going to weird timezones are certainly not going to help those number improve. The broadcast even made a joke about it when it happened...

US 21.5-8.5 in a absolute scorcher.

Doesn't meant you won't be able to join us somehow during the test!

Or buy two? Yeah that is true. The one time I did use a system like this I found it was near impossible to hit a ball with any shape. Everything just went dead straight which although fun, did take some of the joy out of it because I knew it wasn't true.

It was certainly hard to watch and I of course have had similar situations happen to me. I don't know if this or Willy Z's funky stroke from last year was harder to look at though.

lol yeah I know and I feel bad. I am just hopeful I have enough depth to last the year.

He has such great insights and a different view then the regulars, but is often still on the same page. I have to drive into work again soon here and will surely be putting it on and hopefully get through the last hour between the drive and work.

For me I just love the little added forgiveness I feel that the glides give me. I have cobra trusty rusty that I love, however there is no question that the pings are a more suitable club for my game. I'll at some point look at putting maybe a 58 in play.

Need to go through that article. I have actually never owned a vokey wedge....

I'm halfway through their Monday recap. Just getting into the LIV portion... It's a good mix with Soly, Randy and KVV this espidode.

So how many of you have teams that are just done due to injuries already this season? fyi started J Rob which was a win, but also Patterson who stunk and Shepard who got out performed by Dotson. FF Managing skills at its finest!

Happy Monday morning and enjoy!

For sure, that being said you all are lucky in the US where it is even available. Here in the EU it is only GC3 from foresight which means its pretty much double. Unfortunately I don't believe subscription models are going anywhere anytime soon.

Quick start sit for anyone listening in our or paying attenting. J Rob, Mooney or Patterson in PPR. I need 2 of them. Then Shepard or Dotson in a flex same thing PPR! Help!

I've been using the R10 the last week or so as I have one on demo and while it has some strengths in ease of use and such the accuracy leaves a fair bit to be desired. its at $600. Even in the 3k range which is what the Bushnell GC3 is at would be an amazing deal.
