... 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. 

[JerryB]

Fairways AND greens?

... 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.

... I just want to know who had to say after the first 5 draft picks we're taken "Ok ... sigh ... looks like I have CFreddie". 

HEY NOW!!!

I think I've got a good shot, but I also think this is equally likely:

Don't feel bad, I had a quad on the first hole I played with the clubs and still shot 49.

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?

... Yup, that is what makes this challenge so exciting and so much fun!

For your viewing displeasure:

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.

Those are some good looking irons!

First of all, Congratulation to the Cobra Draft Class of 2024.  You all earned your spot in the CGL (Cobra Golf League) and we expect fierce and steadfast competition.  This draft class was deep, but there were some surprises with self-highly-praised draftees falling precipitously in the draft and more humble, kindhearted golfers rocketing up the draft board!

But without further ado, here is the result of the 2024, Cobra 50th Anniversary Member Special Draft.

1. With the first pick in the 2023 Cobra Draft @Golfspy_CG2 has selected @Jnoble89 in a surprising, yet understandable pick.  Jason has shown to be a top quality, if relatively new, forum member and is expected to see significant gains from his new Cobra gear.  No Pressure kid, you're ONLY the first pick.

2. With the second pick in 2023 Cobra Draft @GolfSpy_APH has selected a true southern gentlemen in @sirchunksalot.  With his southern twang, smooth style, and "Sir" in his name we all knew Jason was going to go early in this draft, and I was personally surprised to see him go second.

3.  With the third pick in the 2023 Cobra Draft @GolfSpy_BNG has selected a fellow mid-westerner in @JerryB hailing for Courtland, IL relying on his knowledge of golf conditions in the area to do some advance scouting seeing that Jerry will have prime scoring conditions all challenge long.  *Mark also did not trade out of the #3 selection.  I feel that is important to note.

4. With the fourth pick in the 2023 Cobra Draft, former Cobra Connect Champion Extraordinaire, @GolfSpy BOS has selected Tom Brady @Tom the Golf Nut in what can only be described as the steal of the draft.  Undoubtedly Tom will raise up against the other Moderators to prove that he too is deserving of the name "Tom" and will ascend to the ranks of Cobra GOATs on forum history.

5. With the fifth pick in 2023 Cobra Draft @GolfSpy SAM weighed his options ultimately deciding upon our very own @chisag.  After the selection @GolfSpy SAM offered to the media "He's and actor, I'm an actor.  It just made sense!"  While some, including @chisag himself expected to be at the top of the draft class, his role as "Male Guest" in 2008's The Dark Night has raised some concerns over links to the shady criminal underworld of Gotham City.

6.  With the sixth, and final selection in the 2023 Cobra Draft @GolfSpy TCB "selected" @CFreddie who is now expected to dominate the competition with the "#6" chip on his shoulder.  He has since spoken on ESPN 8's "Fringe Work" golf podcast hosted by John Daly and Randy Johnson where he promised that he would not rest until the other 5 competitors "gave up the sport, for life."

The rules and what is at stake for the forum staff will be disclosed in future post.

Until then....

Man, drop that X, and I would not complain about this stix in my bag.

@CFreddie went with the regular Forged Tec irons, but didn't choose black. He went over to the light side.

... Like Tom Brady, Michael Jordan and Steph Curry that were all over looked in their careers, I take this very personally and will endeavor to exact some revenge on those that passed on me to the amazingly lucky GolfSpy Sam's surprise. And while I will hold a grudge forever against these Mods, I applaud my fellow competitors for being chosen 1-4.   At least I was right about CFreddie.

Echoing what the others have said...what poor sap had to draft me? 

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!
