Same reason they do this...

or this...

We are truly an amazing species 

Don’t know who this “we” is... but I can honestly say I would never do either of those things.... 

Stupid crap like this makes me wonder how “we” survived this long... or they rather.

If we’re talking 80’s though...

I have definitly done some really dumb and risky things jn my life but I can say snake kissing, board ball busting and gator wrangling did not make the cut

If you really want a belly laugh search Darwin Award gifs. These aren't close to the top contenders... well, the alligator comes close.

We all know that @fozcycle is THE Cobra Commander, I don't think anyone will match the 6,304 rounds he played in CCC3. That got me thinking, who would this year's contestants be? 

To start off, I'm going to go with @B.Boston and @Lacassem, I know the latter isn't in this year's challenge but they're buddies and play off each other like brothers from different mother's, so they're Tomax and Xamot. 

Next up, we have none other than @daviddvm. What did he do? He went with the one length clubs and went out and lit his tournament on fire! That tells me he's a master of his weapons, so he's none other than Destro.

@GB13 is the wannabe assassin, so for him I'm going with Storm Shadow. Sure, he's a cool looking ninja, but who are you going to sneak up on wearing white? I mean, like @GB13, you can see him coming a mile away.

Speaking of assassins, that leaves our guy @Headhammer. He's just sitting back, blending in waiting for his moment to strike a deadly blow to our competitors. Like Zartan.

That leaves @edingc, who was the tough one to figure out. He's over here distracting us with his calves like Phil working the long, for lack of a better word, con on all of us. The master strategist, Dr. Mindbender.

 

I don’t know if I’m more impressed with the narrative, or the authentic action figure pics.  Either way, bravo sir.

I vote @sirchunksalot for all comparisons down the road. 
We need this weekly lol

Oh yeah.  I’ve done my fair share of “should have ended worse” things.  But mess around with a giant gator or that other act of brilliance!!!  No sir... not happening.

#TeamOneLength has been eerily silent during this recent barrage of smack talk.  Sumpin tells me he's setting up the field for a thumpin.

As long as there aren’t any ears bitten off... that would have been a fun match to watch.  Ali vs. Tyson.

That was the last boxing match I ever watched.  The Tyson / Evander Eargate.

The Ali vs. Tyson would be like Seve vs. BAD... you all know where my money would be...

Tyson still my favorite boxer ever, close second Roy Jones Jr. man some good fights in the 90s very underrated era in boxing.

[Reesedw 2,455]

Stupid stuff we've done.. Hmmm lets see, I jumped a truck on a quad.. I cartwheeled said Quad at about 80mph, in a race.. we used to drive along the river at night without headlights on.. Jumped a bug over a 35 ft jump.. yeah still not doing the Gator thing or the cobra kissing.. NOt gonna happen..

Seriously?  You have heard Tyson just announced he’s fighting an exhibition against Roy Jones Jr, right?

I heard he was going to “come back” but I did not hear this....please don’t tell me this is 

RJJ has one of the most respectable background story and is al around a fantastic person

Well it’s on the internet so it has to be true.

it’s actually on ESPN though, looks legit

I saw the same thing earlier today, and it blew my mind. Tyson is still a beast at his age and I don't know you could pay me enough to step in the ring with him.

I prefer to think of them as Chester and Spike. I'll let you all decide which is the annoying one.

I agree. It gives me nightmares to even glance at it and I can't un-see it.

Nice round, but it shows you +6.5 putting (which is fantastic, but also your only non-Cobra club).  How did the Cobras perform?  

My Cobras definitely performed better than my baseline clubs did. Driving was only .2 better, but the approach was almost 5 shots better, and the chipping was 3 shots better. Another thing to note, is that I didn’t strike the ball all that well, the irons are just much more forgiving than my PINGs. I had a lot of toe hits that were more than playable.

 Putting has always been my strength, so a putting handicap that low isn’t all that surprising. Not to go off on a tangent, but I LOVE my putter!!

Yet another datapoint with someone getting a change in lie.  What did you change from? I'm beginning to think the lie board is more like an Ouija Board 

I went from 2.5 up to standard. Not to let the lie board off the hook, but I wasn’t fitted at all for my previous irons, and the 2.5 up was an (un)educated guess on my part.

Roger that.  I try and wipe off my driver face with my wetted towel every few holes to see hit marks.  While playing a HRC 9 hole, I drilled the Titleist Velocity and I had cleaned the face - pretty much dead center and it was easily 30 yards longer than most of the other good hits.  We're told these latest technology drivers have a big sweet spot but I don't think their as big as advertised.  Maybe more forgiving (dispersion) for off center strikes, but at a healthy distance penalty... my impression anyway.

Oh, even as a fairly low capper, I don’t think any drivers are anywhere near as forgiving as advertised. Even a slight mishit sacrifices significant distance. The bombs that you’ll see me periodically hit throughout the competition, are the only shots that I really hit off the screws. It really gives you incredible respect for just how consistent the pros are.

Alright guys @edingc @B.Boston @GB13 @daviddvm @Headhammer, now that you have the clubs, and are using Arccos, what has stood out most to you? the clubs, the stats, Ease of use??? And what did you think you were better at than the statistics show??? 

One thing I haven’t touched on, is how much I’m liking the MIM wedges around the green. I haven’t figured out the full swings yet, but these things are pretty versatile out of almost any lie. The 50° is great for chips that have plenty of room, and the 58° is very good for flops and quicker stopping shots. I can’t wait to add the 54° to my arsenal. Also, I really love the feel at impact, it’s very “solid”. 

 

I thought I was a much better iron player. Pacing off putts and actually “knowing” how far a putt is has really opened my eyes to how poor my proximity is, and how good my putting is.

Actually, feels like the Cobra Connect Challenge wouldn’t be complete if every tester didn’t have to do this...

I mean, how committed are you folks?

I don’t no about my fellow competitors, but I am NOT getting that “connected” to a cobra.
