Nah, he wanted to get together and play a round somewhere in between...around Charlotte.  Our schedules (mostly mine) hasn't really been favorable for that!

Yeah, I was really hoping me and @NCGolfer could meet up for some golf in Charlotte and exchange the cup. Unfortunately we couldn't get our open dates to jive.

Since Thanksgiving is coming soon, and I'll be headed back to Talamore, I got to thinking of the Newport Cup, and the Cup itself.  We're a year later, I'm still hoping to see photos from @NCGolfer, @cipher, and @bkuehn1952 with the trophy.  Here's hoping everyone has had a great summer!

Dave has had it for several weeks. I think he posted about it somewhere.

I've got it.  It is resting comfortably at home on a shelf next to my Pinehurst collection.  Appropriate since that was the area of its last tournament (and victory.)  Hoping to take it to the scene of the 1974 PGA Championship (Tanglewood) where Lee Trevino held off Jack to win.

While at the Newport Cup the Blue team was so wonderfully managed by @iacas, however, since that win they have horribly mismanaged the handling of the Cup tour.

I'd rather have @iacas be wonderful at managing the Newport Cup win than managing the Cup tour @mchepp.  😉

I don't think you have it in you to be bad at these things.  Unfortunately, we players have to manage the Cup Tour, and as a group we're not quite as reliable.

The Newport Cup is on its way to @cipher!  I found a perfect box to protect the most valuable non-major trophy around.

The Official Box of the Newport Cup!

Does the guy who escorts the Stanley Cup around (Phillip something?) have a brother? 🙂

That thing would have to get dropped from 50 feet to take damage.  I was about to throw the box away and thought it might be a perfect fit.  Our under-sink water filter could double as the trophy if need be.  🙂

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      One thing I've noticed with Mini Drivers is that the manufacturers seem like they keep their quantities somewhat limited.  The last two TaylorMade Mini's and the Callaway AI Smoke Mini were sold out quickly.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By iacas ·

      Huh? That's the niche of these mini-drivers. They can still work off the tee and off the fairway. They're designed for and work for both things, which is all that blurb says. You can see from the photos that it's a bit of a deeper face, which I find is more important off the tee than the fairway.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By saevel25 ·

      This statement doesn't make much sense to me.  So, I think the push and pull between a 3-wood meant for off the turf versus off the tee is how tall the face is on the 3-wood. I do not get how this mini driver would be good off the turf, or at least get the height needed to stop the ball as a normal 3-wood meant for off the ground. Maybe they care more about hitting the 3-wood off the tee versus off the turf. Nearly every strike would be low on the clubface relative to the CG location.  I would take that statement as more as marketing over what you would actually expect the club to perform.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By iacas ·

      No, not that Minnie Driver. This one: It's a mini driver from Titleist, available for Tour validation/testing starting this week at Kapalua. It's available in righty and lefty and is only in 13° models for now. GT280 is a direct result of Titleist’s collaboration with PGA TOUR players on the development and testing of the TSR 2W prototype, which debuted on TOUR at last year’s PLAYERS Championship. With many players seeking an additional option at the top end of their setup, Titleist tour reps and R&D engineers worked with players such as Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris to dial in a 13-degree head that worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck. Now on Tour: New Titleist GT280 The arrival of the 2025 PGA TOUR season this week in Maui brings with it an addition to Titleist’s breakthrough line of GT metalwoods: the new Titleist GT280.
