Buy a big bag, go in your backyard and swing away. I think thats your best bet to figure out what will work.

it actually sounds like a cool little contest....I would agree that you could probably hit it further with a lofted club...I was thinking 5 or 6 iron......but I agree...for a couple of bucks, go buy a bag and experiment....be sure and let us know how it worked...I may have to incorporate this into the charity tournament that I am a part of.

I'll probably have to fork out the 2 bucks for marshmallows. That's a good idea. I'm also thinking maybe a 5 iron or so teed up a little. Perhaps hitting a fade to get a little more height, or maybe I'm overanalyzing it. I've only got a month to train, so I better get started

she may already have them inside of her shirt?

Girl who sits next to me just went to King Soopers for some lunch. I gave her a couple of bucks and asked her to bring me back a bag of marshmallows

Never heard of such a thing or thought about it before. Would love to know the fun results of all who try. Ron isnt there a little too much snow there? You might lose it with the white on white.

Figured I'd tee it up on one of the little islands in the parking lot and hit out into the lot, should show up nicely on the black tarmac
I can't believe that I am anxiously awaiting your findings, but I really am.

Make sure you buy the distance marshmallows, not the high spin ones.

I got the top-flites for sure. I was gonna go with the Polaris marshmallow for straightness, but Kenny Mayne has never steered me wrong once.

I'd go with a 3W and the marshmallow on its side seems like you'd get less air resistance off the rounded sides than the flat ends

Never heard of a contest like this, but sounds kind of fun. Let us know the winning strategy and good luck.

Does anyone else want to go hit a marshmallow now? I have to say, I am interested to see what happens.
I'll admit to looking in the cabinet to see if we had any left from Christmas....LOL

Many of my drives look like I have hit a marshmallow.

what size mashmallows can you use? the huge campfire ones?
That's what I'd assume. They are provided by the course though, I believe.

I would go with a long iron myself. I am sure the MM will want to flatten and stick to the face, but the long iron should have just enough loft to keep this from happening, while maintaining a high club speed and giving you some air.

Alternatively, I would use a short iron and softly hit the marshmallow, trying to sorta throw it with the club head.

Can you just pre compress it and ball it up? Then again, it might just stick to the face of the club.
