So my wife is the best. My oldest boy and I took the 2.5 hour round trip back to our house to pick up a box and bring it back to the shore house. I will have full pictures once I get back from vacation over the weekend. I’ll leave you with these for now

Some seriously good looking equipment guys.  Thanks for taking the time to post pictures.  Hopefully gavinski91 has a big heavy package arriving soon.

I'm still wanting to try One Length irons and will be following the (one?) people that have them here.  I bought my father a set of inexpensive OL for hit to try out and I plan to hit those when I'm there in August.

Gavin - maybe we can even tee it up while I'm in Bellingham.  That would be fun.

Same here @gavinski91 I knew I would probably be delayed with the irons and wedges since I chose to stick with KBS shafts. Fingers crossed the driver/woods/hybrid come in soon.

One of my better rounds today but finally crossed off a bucket course for me. Warren Golf Course at University of Notre Dame!
 

The only clubs I have are the wedges. I love them, they are soft and I feel like After a few rounds they will be deadly.

I would play it again tomorrow if I had the chance! Wasn’t really long course but challenging and made you keep the ball in play, which was a miracle for me!

I played early this morning in Galveston, TX and the mosquitos really killed the mood. We were in such a hurry to get through the round I didn't get many good shots of the maiden voyage with my new Cobra sticks. However, one mosquito did land on my ball just before I hit and this was the end result:

I'll clean up some video and add some shots/round summary with the arccos. 

The wedges around the greens were the biggest surprise of the day. Just amazing feel and excellent spin control, even in the wet conditions. 

Either way those Copper MIMs look fantastic.
