OFFICIAL #CobraCONNECT CHALLENGE 2018

[Joyzee10]

After much internal debate, reading and re-reading the intros, flipping coins, pulling names out of hats, using random number generators, I've finally settled on a fave....but it was quite difficult.

 

You've all done a great job in the intros and it really is a pleasure to get to know each of you and your stories.

 

Foz - love the older photos and appreciate your history of the game..and your appreciation of it.  You were a caddy - something I've always wanted to do and the only one in the group with a hole-in-one trophy (another thing I'd like to do!)

 

Looper - from Asbury Park which is next to Ocean Grove where I've vacationed a couple of times and one of my favorite spots!  If you haven't been to the boardwalk down there DO IT NOW.  Also love your dedication to data, data, data...that's a big part of my job at BU.

 

MDGH - the GIF master has arrived.... I know how hard it is to embed stuff in the forum postings and bravo on a job well done.  A lefty but playing single/one length clubs .... love that you went out on a limb for this!  love it...

 

Joyzee - the caption video is something to behold; that must've taken some time and it is EPIC.  Grew up in Denmark (happiest country in the world!), lives in Canada and has a forum name that sounds like a yankee saying Jersey... too funny!  Also a recovery shot master...a man after my own heart.

 

However....my vote goes to ReeseDW....

From the Pacific Northwest (I grew up in the Willamette Valley in OR) and he uses the clubs with the specs that I would have chosen, so he is as close to an exact match to me than anyone else.

He's the rookie of the bunch (beat Joyzee by 6 days) and - most importantly - the font and readability of his posting was fantastic.... especially for his very first.  Way to go, rook!

Hey StrokerAce, 

 

Just to clarify, Denmark is a sleepy little town the South West of Western Australia. It always gets confused with Denmark the country lol. 

 

I sure do miss it at times. Absolutely beautiful part of the world. 

[Joyzee10]

I'm glad Stroker quoted part of Meyer's OP.

 

I have been having difficulty picking a winner too, because they are all so good for a variety of reasons. Since that is the case, there is only one thing that really separated the intros - only one person really delved into the smack talk, so Joyzee is my winner.

 

Thanks MaxEntropy! I will be sure to keep it up!

Ah... whoops!  Surely another very happy place on earth as well...

 

Oh...and I noticed your last name is "Joy" hence the Joyzee.... seems I messed that up as well;  hopefully you'll do much better in the challenge than I have so far... .

Definitely not natural. So now the debate becomes photoshopped or implants?

I added to my intro that Denmark had sand greens when I was growing up.

A MGS logo tattooed on the back there would look real good and provide some excellent advertising.

I tip the scales at about 235 right now give or take (more give). So, they are real. They do a lot of work carrying my fat ass around! 

 

I did however get asked by a girl at my last work if I had implants. Was a weird conversation!

Only juice I do is grape - Red or White.

If someone else wants to pay for it..... I am open to advertising space!

You know it MD!

Bardle:

  There are two versions of the F8 Driver, F8 and F8+.  The F8 has weighting on the back and heel and the F8+ has weighting on the front and back.  I have the F8 and per the recommendation of the Cobra fitter, have the 12g weight in the heel and the 2g weight at the back.  The driver is also lofted at 11.2* neutral.  I thought it strange that he would recommend this seeing that my misses are hooks, but it's working out ok for me now.  In my previous bag, I had the R15 and messed with it but had the best success with the two sliding weights set to 2 bars on either side of neutral 10.5* neutral setting for the shaft.  As for the CNC milled face - I haven't really noticed it adding anything to the drives or preventing my drives from getting into trouble, LOL.  Same for the Carbon crown.  Looks great but can't say I see any improvement in my driving owed to it.

 

MDGolfHacker

 

Thanks for the info.  I didnt know they put the front setting in for the F8+, I wonder why they decided to go that route, maybe I am an outlier using the front weight on the normal F7...

[bardle]

FWIW, I have the F7+ and it has 3 weight ports - front, back, heel.

I've played around with a couple of things but I have 16g in the front and 12g in the back; I like the heavier feel of the head.

The 16g is aftermarket; you can buy other weights from the Cobra site.

 

The normal F7 has the same ports, for some reason with the F8, they only have two ports for each. the F8+ has front and back and the F8 has heel and back. 

[robbybayntun]

My vote is for joyzee10.... LEGEND! that video 🤣

We all know his name is Joyzee because it's a variation of joisey as in New Joisey

I just threw up in my mouth a little

[STUDque]

Had to wait until the challenge started to poke fun at Clint but here goes......

 

 

Few weeks back, we had a conference call to run through and get everyone on the same page. Listening to Clint speak, I had to put my phone on mute for a while so I could laugh because this was the only image I could get in my mind:

 

 

 

He sounds just like Flinty McCallahan!

*VOLUME UP. Sorry for the potato quality. Couldn't find a better recording.

 

 

 

 

 

Now, I read every one of Joyzee's posts in that voice lol. Despite the fact that he shared pictures, I still have this mental image.

 

 

 

 

 

Much love though mate

[Reesedw]

the F8+ I am using has a 12g at the front and a 2g in the back. I saw someone mentioned that Fowler plays them reverse? If I can, I will try and get on a trackman and play around with a few things and see if the changes any numbers for me. 

 

I too have the F8+ with the 12g in front and 2gr in the back.. I have moved them a little and found when struck well a more penetrating flight and less ballooning..

If your getting asked about implants you might want to......... Never mind You look amazing..  

[Reesedw]

Your all getting caught up in the Glitz and glamour, and he does have great calves, Holy Crap I might vote for Joysee10... Nahhhhhh... LOL

[Nunfa0]

Just so everyone is clear, New Zealanders DON'T sound like that!!

Similar but with less of the "crikey" factor. Take for instance the phrase "fish and chips". To us Aussies sound like they are saying "feesh and cheeps" and to them we sound like we are saying "fush and chups"

 

Oh and nice to see that Joyzee10 doesn't forget leg day.

[HardcoreLooper]

The GPS should function independently even when there is not a cell signal as long as there are offline versions of maps available (I believe he said earlier he had to download the courses while on wifi, iirc). Accuracy is improved a bit with cell signal because the phone triangulates with cell towers at the same time as locking on satellites.

Correct about GPS functioning independently. I believe (but I'm not 100% sure) that the phone can still triangulate towers and use aGPS without voice/data service. The cell radio still works (you can make a 911 call).

 

All this being said, when I use my iPhone SE with Arccos, I turn on the mobile hotspot on my Android phone and connect the iPhone to it via wifi so I have the other Arccos goodies available to me. Also, I sometimes forget to download the course at home.

[HardcoreLooper]

This is definitely an intriguing option, as that phone is smaller and would be capable of Caddie 2.0.

jlukes - That's why the SE is my goto for Arccos, and I only run it on my Android if I forget the SE.

Looper - from Asbury Park which is next to Ocean Grove where I've vacationed a couple of times and one of my favorite spots!  If you haven't been to the boardwalk down there DO IT NOW.  Also love your dedication to data, data, data...that's a big part of my job at BU.

Stroker - the AP boardwalk was the site of WNEW's annual spring concert, and my high school's annual skip day (coincidence?). When Bruce sang "... the cops finally busted Madam Marie for telling fortunes better than they do," this is what he was talking about:

 

We all remember Madam Marie.

 

BTW - No one is wondering why I posted the "Santa Claus is Coming to Town?" video in reference to Springsteen?
