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.

    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
    • I would guess putting grooves in it might make it non-conforming. I am not sure how stringent the USGA is on restoring golf clubs.
    • If PT doesn't work, then all other options (shots) are just temporary bandages of the pain. You may do more damage. Pain is the bodies way of telling you to STOP. Once you get rid of that, you are just now using an already damaged body part and put more stress and strain on it.
