In the second part of the Quest to Qualify, I chat with Cobra Golf’s Director of Innovation, Mike Yagley, about what attracted Cobra Golf to this experiment and how #cobraconnect will not only help me manage my progress but also identify the hard realities of myself as player on course.

The majority of this exploration, for me, is coming to grips with my Golfer Ego. In my mind, I’m a player of a certain caliber, but hard data, I know, will tell a different story.

Like anything in life, the faster I can work from the truth, the faster I can pivot and remedy any shortcomings to improve. I have no illusions that the golfer I bring to the course right now will have a chance in hell to succeed, unless it’s one of the rare days I roll out of bed, the stars align and I have one of my annual out-of-nowhere under par rounds. That’s using “hope as a tactic,” to quote Mark Wahlberg from Deepwater Horizon, who probably took it from someone else, but that’s not the point. I’m tired of relying on luck in my game to play well and #cobraconnect will ultimately show me who I am.

I’m excited for that truth.

It’s early in the process, and as you will see in the video, I have surrounded myself with great people who support this journey. It helps that Mike is a huge advocate for #cobraconnect and what it can do for all of us that want to play our best.
