Some good lessons in here. To each of us is different with the time we're given. I lost my cousin last night who is a few years younger than me to a very short battle with cancer.  Maybe I'm a bit too introspective at the moment, but time is the most valuable thing we have as it relates to our family, friends and our passions.  Spend it well.

Sorry to hear you have lost your cousin.  It is totally understandable to be more introspective and have a heightened sense of our limited time on this earth.  None of us will live forever, so like you wrote... Spend this precious time well.  Prayers for you and your family.

So sorry to hear of your loss.  Losing a loved one is never easy but to lose someone so young is just so hard to deal with.  Hang in there.  My thoughts to you and your family.  Thanks for the video

When you lose someone close, it really makes you wonder and think. You are right, nobody is given a guarantee in this life. Sorry for your loss, and I guess we can all be thankful for the days we had, and the days we might have coming up. Strange, I was just thinking about this topic today, as I enjoy watching movies, sitcoms of yesteryear, and watched the ending to Highway to heaven, starring Michael Landon and Victor French. Like I often do, I go to Wikipedia to see their bios. Both of those actors died young, at 54 each, back around 1990. That's 30 years ago already! Age 54, wow, makes you think.

Sorry for your loss. About 3.5 years ago, I had surgery for prostate cancer, and have been cancer free since. Despite playing, and walking five days a week, I had a heart attack just over two years ago. I try to enjoy every day, and every round. My father turns 93 on Wednesday, and he still plays 9 holes three times per week. He plays for a quarter a hole, and you would think he was playing for the US Open. He still likes to win.

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
