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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
