Play par fives with reverse bag! So from the tee putter then wedges all the way to driver on green! 

 

... Can you point to the spot on the doll where the competitors hurt you? 😉

... I realize I am a competitor and my 2 cents is worth 1 cent but just a thought. 


I don't like using driver or even fairway woods on par 3's because it is almost impossible on some par 3 hole designs. One par 3 is a 120yd shot to a crowned green surrounded by an almost sandless bunker. It would be impossible to land on the green and not have the ball roll off. An island green would be darn near impossible. I trust the Mods to be creative but not ridiculous. 😇

So many other great suggestions though and I look forward to playing well for the Mod smart enough draft me and taking part in some of the very silly but very fun sounding challenges. 







 

These were suggestions for a penalty for the mod who drafts the last place competitor, not the weekly contests for  those in the competition, by my understanding. 

Considering it's a light-hearted penalty I think having to try to hit a 5w onto an island green is hilarious.

... Love this picture! Obviously your potential is there! Glad to hear all the clubs are working well for you. Having played the Forged Tec's for several months they are indeed long and constantly so. They can seem like they jump a little when hit dead center but just about 5yds max as mishits do a great job of not losing much distance so the spread between the bad and the best isn't all that great for anyone with normal swing speeds. I am going out on a limb before this thing even starts and predicting you will be the most improved player at the end of the challenge. 🤗

... Like you Shanks-O-Plenty, once I figured out the driver that was launching too low and left, I started playing for "a little cut" that doesn't and just goes high and straight, I have already hit 3 of my longest drives on my home course. If the Kai'li Blue fits your swing it is an awesome shaft. I'll say this as I don't want to give anything away about all my clubs yet but if there is a wedge challenge, CFreddie will get some very sweet revenge. 🙄

We can hope so, but I would discount @Jnoble89 or @JerryB. They're a bit better than I am currently and I believe they are going to improve significantly. 

You, @Tom the Golf Nut, and @CFreddie are better golfers and it's hard to find areas to improve when you get down that low. 

If there's a fairways/greens challenge I can say whoever drafted me is in for a world of hurt.

... Like you said other than Tom and I, the rest of you all have a chance of most improved, even CFreddie. So no pressure but you are still my first choice.

Ok then. For anyone interested, it takes about 4 hours to read this whole thread ..

chunkys clubs are too good looking to hit, and I’m not a fan of black irons.

sirchunkis gunna have a tough time of it when the insults etc start flying, because I’ve never ever seen him post one comment that isn’t just souther belle sweet.

Tommy and Sam should just put on some boxing gloves and get to it.

I am wondering about the challenges, and correct me if I am wrong, but are some of them going to involve spies outside of the 6 testers?

Couldn't help myself, @Sluggo42. Thanks for visiting the thread, it's good to have you here. If I'm not mistaken, there's usually a round played with one of our fellow spies during the competition either virtually or in person.

I guess we now know!  I have full faith in you and can’t wait to rub it in the faces of the other testers and mods when you go down as the greatest Cobra Challenge participant ever!
