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

      By DeadMan · Posted

      Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.
