There’s going to be one in 2045, too.

NationalEclipse.com is your one-stop source of information on solar eclipses, including the next total solar eclipse...

I might even be able to catch this one with my DVC points to stay at WDW.

I don't have DVC points but I do have some non-expiring tickets to WDW, maybe we can book a round on one of their courses while we are there.  But also one of the states out west could be cool with much less light pollution.  I just hope I'm around and able to travel since I would be close to 84 years old.

I would bet on WDW doing special events for it and turning off the lights. It would the week before I turn 60. Sounds like a pretty good way to celebrate to me.

Light pollution? And you were in 99.4% and didn’t have glasses? That’s nuts.

I went to watch my son play in a tournament at Eaglesticks on Sunday, and then drove up to my daughter's house in Cleveland Sunday night. We had a great view of the eclipse from her front yard. I was amazed at how dark it got and how instant the darkness came. No traffic problems leaving Cleveland until we got almost to Columbus. Then traffic was slow until we hit I-270. Son said they was a mandatory stoppage in play from 3-3:30 and they handed out eclipse glasses to the players. He said it was too long of a delay and felt it contributed to him going from -1 on the front to +5 on the back. He finished +7 (T9) for the tournament.

I guess I was just not excited enough to line up the glasses.  I should have though.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
