Hey guys,

It has been an exciting week at Foursum Golf. We just inked a partnership with Cobra Puma Golf. They have always been at the top of our list in regards to companies we'd like to partner with. Our brand personalities are so aligned.. it was a perfect match.

To start things off, we're running a contest called The COBRA GO LOOOOONG! Challenge. We're challenging golfers to drive the ball 10 miles (17,600 yards) off the tee by July.

If you're up for the challenge, here are the steps you have to take:

  1. Download the Foursum Golf App in The App Store or The Play Store .
  2. Open the app and create an account on Foursum.
  3. Once signed up, The COBRA GO LOOOOONG! Challenge page can be found in the “Challenges” section of the tray menu navigation.
  4. Tap the “Take the Challenge” button to enter.
  5. Earning yards towards the challenge is easy and automatic while playing your rounds. Simply add your driving distance manually or tap the “tag drive” feature after you reach your ball.

GOOD LUCK!

Pretty sure I'll fail miserably (Don't play nearly often enough*) but I'll try regarless...

*My math suggest that to get 17,600 yards at 225yrds per, would take 79 drives. Assuming 9 drives per round**, that is 9 rounds in less than two months. We shall see....

**Totally random guess at drivers per round

I think I could do it, but why?  I don't really care when I get to a mile.

I don't think this is all that legitimate though. If you GPS to the ball to tag it via the app, you could easily drive beyond the ball to manipulate numbers. Obviously, the alternative manual entry could result in manipulation as well. Seems like an opening for people to fabricate results to manipulate the contest and steal the flat bills. :-(

We have to somewhat rely on the honor system. Golf is an honest game after all!

That is true, lol. I definitely wasn't meaning what I said in a negative way. I guess I was just pointing out the obvious that people will definitely take advantage of the system.

Congratulations on the exciting partnership anyhow! Hopefully you enjoy continued succes.

At 250 yards that's 70.4 tee shots, or about 5 rounds of golf.*

If you hit it 250.

* I'm not counting par threes.

Congrats Will, and to Foursum Golf.

Having Cobra partnership could lead to exciting opportunities for the challenge.

The challenge could create an opportunity to start a charity fund raiser locally and or nationally.

In our area during the summer, the PGA has a "Hundred Hole Challenge" played in one day by our Head Professional.

He raises almost $10 K every year for Ranken Jordan Children’s Hospital, Southern Illinois Hospice and the Gateway PGA.

Congrats again and hope the best for your contest.

Thanks, Club Rat. Appreciate the kind words! Implementing a charitable piece is a great idea. Definitely something I'll bring up with the other guys/gals.

      SuperSpeed Sues Stack System for Supposedly Syndicating Successes & Statistics

      By iacas ·

Stack System’s marketing materials inflate apparent swing speed and distance gains through selective presentment of data without qualification that purported gains are not the result, in whole or part, of its training protocol and products. * Yes, I'm joking about abbreviating both "SS." SuperSpeed wants: A judgment that the Stack System has disseminated false and/or misleading information in violation of federal and Illinois law. The deletion of all false advertising distributed and recall of all packaging containing false advertising and a requirement that Stack System issue notices (written or otherwise) to that effect to all current distributors and retailers of its products and all distributors with whom Stack System has done business in the past eighteen months. Written confirmation within 30 days of an injunction detailing the manner and form in which Stack System has complied. An order that Stack System disseminate corrective advertising informing consumers, the trade, and the public of Stack System’s unlawful conduct. 3X all profits received by Stack System as a result of its unlawful actions. 3X all damages sustained by SuperSpeed (as a result of Stack System’s actions) The cost of the action All reasonable attorney fees All other relief to which SuperSpeed are entitled and such other or additional relief as just and proper. Oy.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Dr. Manhattan ·

      Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.

      Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.

      I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.
