i'm playing in the ford invitational this week - USA network (3pm);)

seriously, i'm the assistant golf pro at a place called french creek (PA). cobra has a nice assistant's deal for equipment - in hopes that your members will see what you play... and then buy their stuff. my boss is a taylor made guy, so it doesn't make sense to sign with them (even though i like their stuff). nice to see how effectively i'm putting my masters degree to work... GOLF.

I don't care if you're freekin Albert Einstein. If you make a living playing a lot of golf, that's gold in my book.

Good luck with the Cobras. Everybody I talk to that tries the recent line of Cobra drivers loves them. Does Greg Norman still basically own that company?

not sure, but i bet he plays a big role in equipment development. his clothing line is decent. don't like the shirts so much, but the sweaters are really nice.

cobra is part of acushnet - titleist, cobra, footjoy. hopefully cobra will take off a bit - they're very optimistic. with j.b. holmes knocking balls into next year (and winning), oberholser winning the match play, and camilo villegas playing well, cobra is looking good right now.

"on the cheap" - is that hillbilly speak for "at wholesale"?;)

True story.

Back in the day, when Greg Norman was using the Cobra stuff, I wanted the original Cobra Driver, 3-wood and 5-wood - I guess cause they looked cool. Golfsmith had the set on clearance, so I bought them for $300. I received them and promptly took them to the range and couldn't hit them a lick - worse than my crappy starter set - tried several times but no go. So I take them to the pro-shop at Lake Hefner and they offer me $400 for them. I'm like "yeah, that sounds fair".

Nice sticks, forged CB's. Good choice Fad. VERY similar to my RAC LT's.
