Hey @gavinski91, I'm over on the east side of the state. So if you need to make a golf trip to an area that is sunny and dry to better test those clubs you are welcome over here.

Tell the wife that 4 or 5 rounds on different grass types is really needed for testing. Sea level VS 2000' might be worth looking at, even the effects of humidity on the finish would be worth a set of pictures I'm sure

Just played a couple rounds at Moses Pointe in August.  We nearly melted with the 100* temps, but started our rounds early to avoid the REALLY hot part of the day.  Where do you play?

Ran into a herd of elk a few holes later. 

I was a little nervous - there was a bull elk just off screen in the trees bugling every few minutes, and a few of the closer elk were snorting at me like they didn't want me there. Made it a bit tough to be totally focused on the shot, so I blocked the 8-iron a little bit right.

What are you recording this with?

I'm in Spokane, and I play the entire group over here. There are a shocking number to choose from. 

But I did drive through Moses lake yesterday, it was windy there.

iPhone 12. I have a pole-clamp phone holder that I either attach to a club shaft or one of the legs of my stand bag.

I purchased a one-year subscription to the ShotTracerPro app for Mac.

so the tracer isn't an app on your phone but something you add afterwards on the computer?

Yeah. I believe they have a phone app as well but I prefer the larger screen on my desktop for video editing. In either case the tracer is added on after you record the video.

Yeah I have the apple app for it and I much prefer doing the edits on my iPad versus the iPhone for the larger screen.  I’ve been meaning to try out the desktop app too.

At this point in time the 2021 challenge should be held over until the new line in 2022

Either that or bring in a new batch of challengers in 2022 to take on the “old guard”.

I downloaded it on my phone (android) 4 years ago, but it was in beta and it was free. I just looked and they want $$ for it now

I've played golf in the snow before, we used balls spray painted orange and used hula hoops painted the same for holes. 

So you can always go that route

How many of you are still missing clubs?

One of us is missing irons, and one is missing fairway woods.

Well let's get this started! Sounds like the first week challenge is driver /wedges only.

Want to see something really funny? Most of us in the Honma driver testing still haven’t gotten our drivers…..this week a couple of us arrived home to find a box on the porch from Honma 

Really exciting!!!! Until you open it 

yep that’s right nothing in the full size club box but a head cover and a wrench

That’s crazy! Did you legit think for a moment, “This is an unusually light driver.” when you first lifted the box?
