    Those Cobras are definitely loud, but the worst was the first sumo square. A bunch of us played this summer and one of the guys had the sumo square and it was incredible. We could hear him teeing off even though we were one or two groups behind. It was at Kanata Lakes, and we could hear him even if he was on one of those holes that you have to walk through the subdivision to get to and we were still a block away. Between his driver and me pelting their decks with my tee shots, I felt sorry for the poor people living along the course. The 5900s aren't as bad, but man that first one is loud.

    Nobody tell Alex Cullen - he'll move to have them banned or to have us all wearing ear protection devices while playing.

    You guys should stop pumping each other up, people will talk or spread vicious rumours, which should I do first?
