OFFICIAL #CobraCONNECT CHALLENGE 2018


Recommended Posts

Well, well week 6 done and the leaders have fallen!!

 

Looper gets the win he needed with some great consistency

 

Foz is out there living the dream, winning money and throwing darts (that wedge is worth its weight in gold!!)

 

MDGH, proud of you lefty, keeping in touch with the leaders and still fully in the running even though you've had to make the biggest adjustment for this challenge (and you've been playing with Rob)

 

Joyzee, the numbers didn't fall your way this week but I am still in awe of your power. I can imagine another week of ball destruction in the Pacific North West.

 

Reese, a self admitted bad week but hey, that happens to all of us. When you did hit the green you hit it the closest and I'm sure you'll come flying back to form in no time.

 

Congrats to Tommc23, Charlie did a great job again.

 

Now on to week seven and what a great week this should be. Can't wait to hear the stories and see the pictures the guys will put up for voting :D B)

Week 7: https://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/24440-official-cobraconnect-challenge-2018-week-7-of-8/?p=455132

 

Competitors: Best Shot / Best Hole

Some of you have noticed that there's a placeholder up front for the "Week 7 Challenge." Now, you can be let in on the secret. The competitors will be telling a tale of the best shot or best hole they've had at any point in the challenge including an Arccos snapshot and potentially picture/video to supplement. Just like the intros, they will be ranked based on the number of forum member votes they receive.

 

Forum Member Contest: Best Shot / Best Hole Vote Random Draw

WE NEED YOU to vote for your favorite story of a competitor's best shot or best hole. Just make a post that says "I vote for X because of Y" and you'll be entered into a random draw for some sweet sweet Puma gear.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

 

So let's get out there and vote for fozcycle!

Foz that's a great shot, I too love the wedges... But I love the Irons also more specifically the 8 iron.

 

As most of you know I crapped the bed this week, I was on vacation and played not so well... NO excuses. So for Best shot/hole I put up #16 from Alta Lake Golf Course, in Eastern Washington…

I added sprinkles to my crap sandwich.

 

#16 @ Alta lake is a 331 par 4 from the Whites, playing back at the tee box and pin in the back left corner... To reach the fairway requires a forced carry of 30-40 yards slightly uphill over sage brush and other brush obscuring the view. The teebox is off to the right and below the fairway. The fairway is slightly uphill most of the ways to the green making it play longer then it actually is.

 

Screenshot_2018-08-20-09-16-59_1534807581607.png

 

 

I play a 3hybrid to get it up and keep it in the fairway but on the right side, 153 to the flag. The green is guarded by a bunker on each side and a 2 foot high ridge across it. The Pin Back left on the upper shelf. Not much room to work with. NO hesitation I pull the 8 iron… Take dead aim and pull the trigger, Click, the ball just rockets off the face tracking right at the pin… It finally leaks a little left 1 hops and stops... Cleared the bunker on the fringe and stopped 8 feet from the pin. 4 in off the green... when I get to the green I realize I made a fantastic shot. I had about 4 feet behind and  2.5 feet front of the flag ( or it catches the hill and rolls possibly off the front) and 7' and change to the left. Had I actually hit the green It might not have stuck.. Now I have an 8 footer for Birdie, I give it too much and go 30 inches past it's down the hill and Gone… Aim left edge hopeing it dives into the center, catches left edge but falls.. BIRDIE.. Heres what it looks like..

Great one Looper. I think it's safe to say that we'be all been there. Off the green and what are you left with. either a chip and run it well past the hole and possibly off the green or a high soft flop shot. those are gold.

 

so we have 3 stories and 2 to go if I'm not mistaken Joyzee and Mdgolf

Alright, Alright.... ALRIGHT!!! Week 7! Holy sh*t its been fun. You blokes are a bunch of beauties and I have thoroughly enjoyed every minute off it. The lads in the challenge are all top notch and I have enjoyed getting to know them. I am actually trying to organize a round with Dave in Washington next month. Stay tuned! 

 

Called in a favor to try and grab a couple extra votes..... 

 

https://www.captiong...udw2qrCNI.email

 

 

.... OK! 

 

So let me tell you more. Now for the record, I am a decent size lad. 5'11, 235 lbs, used to drywall, worked on the iron ore drill rigs in Australia and played high level Aussie rules football. This will all make sense to my good friend Nunfa0  :)

 

I like to make sure the ball knows that it has just had an interaction with a Cobra CNC milled face if ya know what I mean.. eh... eh?!?! Go deep, amirite?!?! Anyways... here it is. 

 

I was enjoying a nice little round "up the hill" at Westwood Plateau. Lovely mountain course just outside Vancouver. Thing is here, if you don't hit fairways... my word, its a long day. You can be way behind the 8 ball after only 4-5 holes. It's a soul eater! 

 

Now let's turn the attention  to the "shot". 

 

As mentioned by my good friend on the intro, this is a monster par 5 and a very tough driving hole. Go right and it's heavy fescue on a dramatic hill or straight into the high lipped bunker. Go left and it's no chance. Straight into bear country. 

 

post-76906-0-81649600-1534829362.jpg

 

With how my driving runs hot and cold, it's a damn lottery everytime I get on this tee box. Not gonna lie, I do consider 3 Hybrid, 5/6 iron wedge some times... But then I say F it! Give the fans what they want!!! The fans want a BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMB!!!!

I did make birdie here but it was tougher than planned. I thinned a 9 iron just enough that it ran off the back of the green. Being a back pin, you run the risk of that on an elevated shot. Middle or front pin and I am laughing. Not to worry, I play a great ship back up to a pretty much blind pin and sink a healthy 6 footer for bird. Order is restored  :)

 

Thanks for stopping by everyone. I am off to continue the John Daly diet and keep giving the people not what they need, but what they deserve....

I did make birdie here but it was tougher than planned. I thinned a 9 iron just enough that it ran off the back of the green. Being a back pin, you run the risk of that on an elevated shot. Middle or front pin and I am laughing. Not to worry, I play a great ship back up to a pretty much blind pin and sink a healthy 6 footer for bird. Order is restored :)

 

Thanks for stopping by everyone. I am off to continue the John Daly diet and keep giving the people not what they need, but what they deserve....

Very dramatic and ballsie I must say I would have pulled the David Simms and hit that iron especially if I could hit it 250 like Joyzee10!!!! Amazing shot tour level even. Sometimes I think when did Dustin Johnson play golf in Vancouver and how did Joyzee10 manage to get his Cobra driver with Arccos into that guys hands and then i realize Joyzee10 channeled his inner Marshawn Lynch and went full beat mode....not sorry I just like the long ball. Great shot!!!!post-1448-0-17397000-1451350904.jpeg

I feel like after 7 weeks these spies are turning into tour pros...Joyzee10 as DJ...HardcoreLooper as Phil Mickelson....and Foz acting like Zack Johnson gotta figure out the rest....I know the spies are browsing the Cobra Golf website looking at those F8 irons fighting off the urge to pull the trigger on a new set...

HardcoreLooper can you describe the sound off the driver? I have the 3 wood and it's like a thwack!!!! I mean it feels great and I feel like I am crushing it when I hit the ball and the distance is incredible...

 

Sent from my SM-G960U using MyGolfSpy mobile app

 

I'll throw my hat in the ring here, also. 

 

It's not overly loud or sharp. If anything, maybe a little on the duller side. In saying that, it sure makes a pop when you lace it. I love the loud sound that you get out of some drivers and 3 woods, but TBH, as long as I am hitting fairways, I dont really care how it sounds! 

 

Well, well week 6 done and the leaders have fallen!!

 

Looper gets the win he needed with some great consistency

 

Foz is out there living the dream, winning money and throwing darts (that wedge is worth its weight in gold!!)

 

MDGH, proud of you lefty, keeping in touch with the leaders and still fully in the running even though you've had to make the biggest adjustment for this challenge (and you've been playing with Rob)

 

Joyzee, the numbers didn't fall your way this week but I am still in awe of your power. I can imagine another week of ball destruction in the Pacific North West.

 

Reese, a self admitted bad week but hey, that happens to all of us. When you did hit the green you hit it the closest and I'm sure you'll come flying back to form in no time.

 

Congrats to Tommc23, Charlie did a great job again.

 

Now on to week seven and what a great week this should be. Can't wait to hear the stories and see the pictures the guys will put up for voting :D B)

 

Nope, they sure didn't. Was a tough week for me. Funnily enough, i had 7 up and downs on Friday lol. Chipping and more to the point, the putter was HOT - the rest, was NOT!
