JohnSmalls Posted July 2, 2018 Author Share Posted July 2, 2018 I just did it for fun. I don't keep a handicap. My normal score is about 100 though. I've only been playing since November. Sent from my Pixel 2 using MyGolfSpy mobile app Can you shoot me a PM with your last 5-10 rounds and the course/tees that you played? I'll get a quick handicap for you so I can put your score up for both the Net and Gross scoreboard.

NiftyNiblick Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I'm devastated at missing this event. The original 336 dimple Spalding Top Flite, predating the XL, was my favorite ball ever. It felt very similar to hitting a vintage, real ivory cue ball, but it was a great ball for clubbing yourself because every one was exactly the same. In those days before computer controlled machinery, no two wounds ball in a dozen, even the premium ones, were exactly alike. Hard to believe now, but even Sam Snead said it in a magazine article.

I will be making announcements as we get closer to June Well then…count me in! I just so happen to have a few candidates available... Most will find their fate being sliced off to oblivion, shattered on the tee or simply chucked by hand into the woods...What could possibly go wrong..? Er...notice the proliferation of "Top Flite's"...NOT an accident!!! Based on last year's trials, I actually am looking forward to hitting the MOJO...not bad for a brick to be fair, but I am a bit reluctant about the Volvik Crystal in the middle...Somehow I vision myself looking like this after striking it... Oh, and this season, I shall be equipped with better gear since I am umpiring for my daughter's softball league and have gotten new protective gear! I have a new set of under-shirt chest armor and new shin protectors to show off...the mask though (the same one I wore throughout Babe Ruth, High school & Sr. babe Ruth ball) will be the same... For a reminder, here is last year's submission taken from the 10th tee which was our #1 for the day I took the challenge-It just so happens to be my current MGS profile pic... Safety first!!!!!!!

HardcoreLooper Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 You know, if we could find a nice cheap cache of balata balls, it'd be fun to have a Soft Rock challenge as well. I'd love to get my hands on some old Maxfli HTs.

I wasn’t able to take part in the festivities last year but I am patiently waiting to bust out the Mojos this summer! Yes, I have way more brand spanning new Mojos than I know what to do with. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I've always wanted to like Mojos, especially the late blue and green ones; but I've consistently found them 10 yards shorter than their more premium counterparts Ronoc 1 Quote Gameday Vessel Sunday 2.0/ Ogio Silencer Dynapwr Carbon | Hzrdus Smoke Black Mavrik 3w | Evenflow Riptide FG Tour F5 Hybrid(20,23) | MCA Fubuki Staff Model CB 5-PW | DG 120 Vokey SM7 (50, 54, 58) | DG 120 Studio Stock 15 -ProV1x (left dash) Romans 10:9 Classic Bag Jones Collegiate Clemson Stand Bag Eye 2 Laminate 1973 Staff Dynapower 4-PW Anser DUO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never hit a real balata ball Imagine having the best ball-striking round of your life and still needing an entire sleeve to finish, because they'd get lopsided and wobble on the greens. That's balata. At the club where I worked as a kid, the caddies had a local rule that you could putt with a different ball so you could use the same ball for more than 4 holes. A fairway bunker meant a cut ball unless you could pure it.

I was really starting to get into golf then and a case (24) were always on sale. Got them as gifts since it was a reasonable option and I was also loosing balls like it was my job. Could never get the distance and control I wanted out of them once I fine tuned my game a bit.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy JohnSmalls 1 Quote Driver - M2 D-Type, 9.5 degrees, (Stiff flex) (Golf Pride MCC +4 grip) 3/4W - King F6 Black 3-4 Wood (Stiff flex) (Golf Pride MCC +4 grip) 4H - Rogue (Stiff flex) (Stock grip) (Golf Pride MCC +4 grip) 4-AW - Steelhead XR Irons (Stiff flex) (Golf Pride MCC +4 grips, 7i with Winn Dri-Tac X Grip) SW - 56* X-Wedge 60* - MD4 Wedge Putter - Odyssey White Hot RX #7 Bag - ORG 14 cart bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
