What is your traveling trophy(s) and who do you fight for it every weekend?

Me and my dad: Currently replacing ours (old ribbon that ain't holding up well). He works at PPG glass so he is having a client make him a laser etched glass plaque-type trophy that will say something to the effect of:

"This trophy hereby declares that, on the last golf outing, its holder was THE MAN."

Driver - Cobra S3 9.5* - Mitsubishi Rayon JavlnFX M7 
Fwy - Titleist 904F 18*
Irons - Mizuno MP-14
Wedges - Cleveland 588 54*, Ping Tour 58*
Putter - Ping D66 (iWi)

If I had a group I consistently played with, I would definitely come up with one of these. Probably a fake wrestling belt or something. Great idea!

This does sound fun. I wish I had a regular group for something like this.

"My ball is on top of a rock in the hazard, do I get some sort of relief?"

Maybe I will do the opposite. The loser(s) has to have a little pink rainbow unicorn hanging off the bag until they can claim the top position.....

I do a tournament with 3 others, 2-3 times a year.  The winner gets a wooden plaque titled "MAN OF THE YEAR" and a little card with a disgusting drawing that I will not describe.

The guy that comes in last gets a card with an equally disgusting drawing, and this:

I've won the last three (5 total so far).  I've never come in last, thank god.

Haha. I work at a church and there are a couple of the pastoral staff that have a traveling trophy for the losers as well. It's a tiny little gold cup (plastic painted golf) and the plate says LOSERS and it has an orange golf ball in it. Whoever is currently the loser is required to display it on his desk.

I want one so bad but I have a few issues. My only buddy that plays with me EVERY weekend has never beaten me. Im better than most of my other friends now. I'm thinking I make a losers trophy so that it encourages the loser to come out the next week. way to often is it just me and my buddy but i have either a 4some or a 5some scheduled for sunday so I gotta think of something quick. I really like that mangina trophy. where did you get that.

My friends agreed to getting one. Not sure yet what it'll be like exactly, but it seems like we're going for something similar to the Ryder cup.

I like the idea of a loser's trophy as well though. I'll probably carry that one a lot! So I better think of something nice to put on it.

So I have done some brainstorming and I think there is 2 things im gonna get. 1) simple trophy of a girl golfer that will probably be engraved with something similar to "mangina" and

2) Im gonna get a pink trucker hat and get it embroidered with mangina.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
