Stripping striping you know what I meant. I am from KY so my english/grammar skills aren’t the best . Today did go better 82 with 2 doubles and no 3 putts. Had the driver going but irons were hit and miss. Every iron that missed was left and more left.

If you want to use the Kentucky excuse, you need to have them grammer in yo post  wrong. If it's write, it don't seem as convincin'.

The three wood is at least as good, probably longer. I hit the hybrid once today. It went at least 220 yards and a beautiful baby draw . Still it will need to keep doing that to have a chance at staying in the bag

Got 36 in today. It took 3 Gatorades and 8 bottles of water and I’m still dry. First round went 37-47, second round, on the same course, went 46-38. Can’t figure out why I start strong and finish like crap, or, start like crap and finish strong. One of these days I’ll figure out how to put 2 good 9s together main thing is, the Cobras are probably going to...... more to come.

Played again today, shot a 7 over 79 off the back tees away from home . It was a beautiful day and I took a couple of photos to show one of the craziest greens around here. It has a big valley in the middle and slopes from back to front. In the photo with two balls on the green mine is the left hand one and I was very happy to make a two putt. You could say the Cobras are going quite well

[mention=156]fozcycle[/mention] I doubt any of us are going to be able to tackle your number. I am still baffled by how you were able to pull it off.

When you retire and have a club membership, it’s easy to play 4 times a week.

I’m struggling right now also. Seem to have a smylie kaufman thing going on. Stripping it on the range, but on the course it’s like I’m forgetting how to swing. I think I’m trying to ease up a bit, to gain more consistency, it’s not going well. On the range I’m grippin and rippin and things look good. Why are you your biggest enemy? I definitely need a mental coach!

48/52 today. Just fell apart at the end. Could be the 96 degree temp. I'm not sure I can walk another round in this mess. 

This was my first 18 with the cobras. Everything went really well except the driver and putter. Honestly if I had putted better I would have posted a course pb. I had 9 3 putts. So to still get a 102 means something was going right. 

I'm gonna save the specifics for the challenge but my favorite club in the bag right now is the 3 Hybrid. I had several recovery shots from bad drives with this thing and it's just long and straight. Hit the green from 225 out with the thing on the par 5 16th!

[palvord]

Well. I saved my best for last. Today was the last baseline round. And boy was it bad.

 

Not one section of my game was positive for the entire round.

 

It was incredibly wet and muddy at this course. I was shocked they even let carts out on the course as I witnessed multiple carts getting stuck, some on the cart paths.

 

I’m excited to put the Cobras into play and find what a completely fit set can do for me.

I'm excited to see how the Cobras improve your game... even though your sandbagging.

The money I lost today says I wasn’t sandbagging.

Plus, I’m not good enough to sandbag. You have to be talented to do that.

Okay, maybe you were "moneybagging". But I doubt you are good enough to do that either.

No golf for me over the Memorial Day weekend.  I was supposed to play an event on Saturday but the golf course cancelled it due to extremely wet conditions.  That makes four rounds already that have been cancelled because of heavy rain.  This spring sucks!

Trying to play Thursday and Saturday again this week.  Forecast calls for 70% chance of rain for my league on Thursday and 50% chance of storms on Saturday.  Of course Friday is near perfect weather when I have to work all day.

Since you are home schooled you should go to summer school anyway.  And shouldn't you be in class now?

No summer school for me, that would cut into golfing time too much.  (proper too, too @MaxEntropy) And yes, but since our house just sold, we've got a lot to take care of.

If you are home schooled and move to a new home does that mean you are changing schools?

I'm not going to spoil anything. But I will just say that I think these One Lengths are criminally underrated. I'm very interested in why more people don't try / game these things. I imagine a lifetime of doing something one way makes it hard to demo these in an hour and like them. They definitely need an adjustment period to understand and retrain your brain on how these different clubs need to be swung.

I wonder how Cobra would fair if they understood that and subsequently did trial runs for a fee. Although I doubt building custom clubs for a trial is a cost effective solution. 

Anyhoo I digress. All that to say - These things work. Can't wait to get into this so I can start tracking some stats and show off a little.

Yeah, to be completely honest, I 100% agree with the one length idea. If I were teaching someone who was a blank slate with no prior golf experience, I think if there them to start out with one lengths. 1 iron swing instead of 8-9 sounds like a no brainer.

Yeah I'm really looking forward to getting started, I am officially in the form of my life with 4 out of my last 5 rounds being in the 70s

I’m ready for different reasons. I’m playing just so so at the moment. The only direction I can go is up. Sounds like to me you’re wasting your good rounds before the challenge starts. It’s not sandbagging, it’s “strategic planning”

With the way my game went down hill a couple of years ago, I will take the good rounds when I can get them
