Cobra LTDx Irons Review - Making You Fall in Love with Game Improvement Irons Again

Cobra Golf isn't just making a splash in the game-improvement irons category in 2022.  They're going all out cannonball with their new KING LTDx irons.  Feel, sound, distance, and forgiveness have all been re-engineered giving golfers everything Cobra can possibly give you.

I've taken my New Cobra LTDx irons out handful of time now.  Some tough courses including Pinehurst No. 2, NCR Country Club, and my hometown Manakiki.  And I can say conclusively LTDx are one of the longest, massively forgiving, straightest irons out today.  Hands down.

Minjee Lee Charges into 54-Hole Lead at 77th U.S. Women's Open

When she successfully defended her U.S. Women’s Open title in 2001 at Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club, Karrie Webb ran away from a stellar field to produce an eight-stroke victory.

Ten Stats to Know from Round Two of the 2022 U.S. Women's Open

The storylines entering this week’s 77th U.S. Women’s Open Presented by ProMedica were seemingly endless. Through two days, the championship has not disappointed.

Pine Needles Lodge & Golf Club has yielded lower scores than anticipated, some of the record-setting variety.

Meanwhile, the top-ranked player in the world is lurking, a mere three shots off the pace as we head to the weekend.

Give the world’s best players more benign conditions and watch the leader board turn into a sea of red numbers. A total of 26 players are under par through 36 holes, which is 12 more than the combined number of players in red figures through 36 holes of the previous three U.S. Women’s Opens at Pine Needles.
