Could it possibly get more American than a round of golf with John Daly and Kid Rock? Probably would set a record for the number of heaters burned in one round!

@GolfSpy Barbajo @GolfSpy_BOS  big John approves.

 Respect the Snake but fear the challenge ahead. I would expect some serious game play being the 50th anniversary.

I've been reading through some of the old Cobra Connect challenges, and man they are exciting! The banter makes everything so much better, this is going to feel like such a Ryder Cup situation and I cannot wait to watch it unfold!

Two funny Daly stories -- 

At the 50th Anniversary bash, John was killing it - he sang a few songs, told a few stories and drank whiskey and water. (He also sang it - I have a video somewhere). 

Anyway, later in the evening I'm waiting in line for the rest room when John comes up. I was next in line but let him cut because hey, he's John Daly. He walks in and a couple seconds later he sticks his head out and says to me, "Hey, I'm not gay or anything but there's a urinal and a toilet in here if you need to go."  The other bathroom opened up and I told the guy behind me it was his decision to make and I went into the other one. Looking back I should have taken him up on the offer - I mean, how many times do you get to take a leak with a two-time Major champion?

The other story came the next day - I"m going through  a fitting with Brandon, Cobra's chief fitter and he's telling me that he's known John for over 20 years. He met him when he was just a kid and told Daly he wanted to get into the golf business. Daly then made some calls an within a couple of days he got Brandon a job at Cobra. He said that's something Daly just does - he's a big-hearted guy who'll help out anyone he can. And he's as genuine of a guy as  you'd ever want to meet.

This.  Maybe we should force the teams to adopt Ryder Cup-style motifs?  What about team uniforms???

I feel like Daly got painted into such a negative light based on the way his career went. And he certainly had some struggles, but so rarely do you get to see the genuine side of a person through the media and news. Seems like a guy that would be a blast to hang around/play a round with.

All I can say is the mod team will have some skin in what the results end up being for each competition. As we are all competitive and @GolfSpy_BOS wants to claim he won 2 of these things. 

Mainly we just want to have some additional fun with it... For that matter we still need to sort how it's going to work for us before we start looking at test selections etc.

Love it! This is going to be a blast, and an awesome way to kick off summer here!

We are still over a week away from having testers being announced and sign up is still open for a little while longer, however that doesn't mean we cannot have some fun and get started with the prechatter. @GolfSpy_BOS may or may not have a good way for determining the teams, which we have to run by the other mods. It would be fun and I think quite entertaining for all, as well as maybe raise the stakes a bit. 

As forum staff we are just so thankful for Cobra hoping back in and providing this amazing opportunity for the forum and community. We as staff could hardly wait to announce it and hope that all of those even if not selected decide to really jump in and take part of this. 

With weekly prizes, competitions and so much more this will be the ones test to not miss out on regardless if selected or not. 

Also please if you are on other social media channels and see Cobra 50th promotions. Please please drop them a like or follow as I know they would appreciate it!

Let the fun begin! Memes, gifs, jokes, smack talk and so much more!

Those special edition drivers with the gold accent are looking absolutely GORGEOUS. Wow. Those have to be one of the best looking drivers on the market this year.

Hahaha I love this so much. Anyone heard of the 2019 Minneapolis Parks and Rec Adult Kickball Fall league champions, The Globo Gym Purple Cobras??? I'm READY for this challenge!

The wizard says- "go for it"

[chisag]

... I am being very quiet because I just picked up a Stealth 2 HD, my MG3 wedges have been performing well and my MIM Tours have such an ego... I don't want them to know I am trying to replace them. Shhhhhhh 

This contest should be fun for someone that doesn't want their clubs replaced. Not me of course (said loudly next to my bag) but someone else that would love this once in a life opportunity and can play 4 or 5 times a week! Good luck to that lucky person that isn't me! (bag still listening)

Sam, your bag would like a word with you.

How many of y'all are getting kidnapped when this rolls through your neighborhood? I know this isn't a giveaway of free gear, just thought it was too funny not to share.

I have found they perform better when on the hot seat, yell at it!

I'm just so jacked up for this test.
