Wow, mediocre is right. I looked at the Grand Rapids Chapter results and they were ... well... mediocre. Anyone scoring in the 80's is going to be a winner and pickup "money" in the area of $1.13 or so.

So if someone "good" joins and they shoot 79, do they get kicked out?

If you break 80 in any MGA event you are disqualified.

Yep. I got one of the bronze tickets after winning the Brattish open.

So having the round of your life can get you kicked out.  Seems a bit arbitrary.  If the person has multiple good rounds (in the 70's) then it might be appropriate

What's in the bag

  • Taylor Made r5 dual Draw 9.5* (stiff)
  • Cobra Baffler 4H (stiff)
  • Taylor Made RAC OS 6-9,P,S (regular)

Not kicked out, just disqualified from that event.

This will help explain it a bit.

Very nice!  One of our guys got a bronze ticket last year.  Unfortunately, he caught Covid and couldn't go.  Our chapter leader spoke to Jon and he's been allowed to cash it in this year.  Are you going Wednesday or Thursday?  I'm flying in Wednesday afternoon for the 3 rounds.

I'm driving up Thursday. Only playing the two rounds for the tournament. This old body can't handle three days in a row.

The last time I looked our chapter is bring 23 guys. It blows me away that the Yellowknife chapter is bring 21 guys or so from Northern Canada.

Wow, 23!!  I know, Yellowknife always brings a large group and they bring the party!  We're only sending myself and 2 others.  Our average age in the chapter is ~65.  Our outgoing CL, and 6 other members, all live in the same 55+ community!  LOL

    • One thing I've noticed with Mini Drivers is that the manufacturers seem like they keep their quantities somewhat limited.  The last two TaylorMade Mini's and the Callaway AI Smoke Mini were sold out quickly. 
    • Huh? That's the niche of these mini-drivers. They can still work off the tee and off the fairway. They're designed for and work for both things, which is all that blurb says. You can see from the photos that it's a bit of a deeper face, which I find is more important off the tee than the fairway.
    • This statement doesn't make much sense to me.  So, I think the push and pull between a 3-wood meant for off the turf versus off the tee is how tall the face is on the 3-wood. I do not get how this mini driver would be good off the turf, or at least get the height needed to stop the ball as a normal 3-wood meant for off the ground. Maybe they care more about hitting the 3-wood off the tee versus off the turf. Nearly every strike would be low on the clubface relative to the CG location.  I would take that statement as more as marketing over what you would actually expect the club to perform.   
    • No, not that Minnie Driver. This one: It's a mini driver from Titleist, available for Tour validation/testing starting this week at Kapalua. It's available in righty and lefty and is only in 13° models for now. GT280 is a direct result of Titleist’s collaboration with PGA TOUR players on the development and testing of the TSR 2W prototype, which debuted on TOUR at last year’s PLAYERS Championship. With many players seeking an additional option at the top end of their setup, Titleist tour reps and R&D engineers worked with players such as Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris to dial in a 13-degree head that worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck. Now on Tour: New Titleist GT280 The arrival of the 2025 PGA TOUR season this week in Maui brings with it an addition to Titleist’s breakthrough line of GT metalwoods: the new Titleist GT280.
