Where are the videos, people?

I figured I'd try it this weekend. Flopping might be funnier with more witnesses.

I'll have a new one coming soon. Finally went and played today and didn't have a camera so didn't try...

Well I don't have a logo to give you for that, but well done! :-)

I plan to film some flop shot catches today at the TST East Coast/VA outing taking place. After I go to Duck Donuts.

This is hilarious! I might give it a shot after work! An award I may be able to achieve. It would also be nice if I break 100 this weekend also!

I hit one when I was filming mine where I could not catch up to it. So, I stuck my wedge out and caught it on the downfall and popped it back to me. The thought went through my mind to attempt to hit it with a swing..haha

Wow, I clearly underestimated this challenge! I've been at it for over an hour... plus side is im learning to do a flop shot.

Okay, I'm not sure this fits the criteria enough to earn the award but I gave it all I have at the moment. (Just started playing about 8 months ago. About 8 rounds total.) I had some good flop shots but way out of range for me to get to and catch. This was a ton of fun and I got way more practice than I would normally. Here it is. Best I could do... 

And here is what I was dealing with the entire time I was attempting this...

Please do more stuff like this! It was a blast and I got some good practice in. Short game is definitely my weakness.

@TN94z I appreciate your video much more after about an hour and a half trying to make one myself. Nice job man! Impressive!

No, sorry… gotta be a flop shot, not a shot that doesn't get above head high. Just swing a little harder! You'll get it!

+1 for the multiple levels idea. This challenge is on my to-do list (to try) this weekend, but I did have the thought of, "okay, but what's next?" ;-)

No multiple levels. One award is plenty… ;-)

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
