No offense to any Mizzou fans, but A&M has no rivalry history with Mizzou whatsoever. We shared a conference for a few years, that’s all. I’m sure they feel the same way about us.

If number of matchups is the criteria, A&M’s top 3 is Texas, Arkansas, and LSU, in that order. (OU, Miss St, and then Mizzou would be the next 3.)

20° wood (may be labeled as a 7w or even 5w)

54° or 56° wedge with 10° or more bounce

That’s all I would add to start.

I played Cobra Amp woods and hybrids for awhile and always found them pretty easy to hit as long as you do 2 things:

(1) Set the head for the lie angle that works for you and don't worry about what the loft setting is. The D settings are more upright and should help your slice. I couldn't hit the 5-7 wood until I set it for 19D. None of the other settings worked for me at all. But on the 3-4 hybrid, the 22 setting was the best for me. So you'll have to tinker a bit.

(2) The Amp Pad on the sole actually does what Cobra says it does. Sole the club on the ground, then grip the club. Tom Wishon says that adjustable head clubs should never be soled before gripping, but that's not the case for the Cobra Amp Cells.

HSAT, the Amp Cell line is pretty old tech now. I switched over to Cobra Air-X woods a year ago. I'm still hitting a Cobra F-Max driver at 11.5 very well. I'd suggest giving those a try to see if it works better for you.
If there’s a course in BR that drains better than SM when we’re getting torrential afternoon rains every day for the past month, I’d love to know. SM is a swamp even when it rains a little, especially on 12 and around the tees on 7. It takes a week or more to fully dry out.
Spark is fun, although the scoring for team points this year made it impossible to catch up after the first few weeks. Last year’s scoring was way better at keeping everyone competitive through the whole season. Played Wed and Thu nights this year.
Dark and Stormys here in Prairieville. :cheers:
4 officers and 2 squad cars, not 4 officers and 1 SUV.
According to the body camera report, the officers tried to get Floyd into the squad car for five minutes between 8:14pm and 8:19pm. They eventually gave up, and it was at that point that Chauvin pinned him. At least one of the officers expressed concern about “excited delirium”. In other words, Floyd may have had a panic attack or something similar, and that’s why they pulled him back out of the car.
Yep, played Monday too. Never been to CM before and had a great time until the rain came in. Fun course, slow thick greens.
Tried Cutter, Deep Woods OFF, fabric softener sheets clipped to my hat, and Amber Romance spray by Victoria’s Secret. Dryer sheets worked the best, with Amber Romance a very close second. Repellent spray seems to attract the damn things.
Yep, there was some mowing during the lockdown and the pins were moved every few days. The white tee box was resod on 7, which was needed.

Yes, it’s open.
Daily maintenance resumed last week. Course is in great shape. Bunkers are rough, as mentioned above. Bonus: the geese have moved out.

After actually learning the difference between strong and weak, i've adjusted and i'm now hitting my driver straighter than ever (slight cut\fade action on accident), but i can't hit the damn irons with any consistency whatsoever.
If your driver is draw-biased or sets up differently from your irons, that could explain the difference in ball flight consistency. Check to make sure your club face is aligned properly at address.

That’s the premise of Brodie’s book “Every Shot Counts”. You’re always better off being closer to the green than laying up when it comes to strokes gained.
Callaway Rogue or TM M4? You won’t outgrow either of those for a long time.

Someone I'm playing with not being good never bothers me. A 25 handicap thinking they're good, throwing clubs and disrespecting the course bothers me a lot more than someone not being good. As long as you play at a reasonable pace and don't slow down the group too much I wouldn't think you'd bother most people.
This right here. I’m a 25 handicap, but I play ready golf and I don’t whine at my clubs when I make a bad shot. Follow basic golf etiquette, fix your ball marks, and don’t slow the group up. Sometimes that means picking up and moving on after missing a 3-putt or getting stuck in the sand. Nobody cares. Have fun and be friendly,

The gnats didn’t get the governor’s memo, so be sure to bring some strong insect repellent. They’re out in force.
