What does everyone think of all the severe weather that the states are getting? I just seen on CNN that today is suppose to have a major outbreak for tornadoes. Just a couple weeks ago we had 3 tornadoes touchdown just outside of town here. Is it global warming? Do you think this is a lead-up to the 2012 prophecy?

its been pretty different the past few years hasn't it?. Not only in the US too. But there are also people who think these kinds of longterm cyclic changes have happened in the past too. I am not selling my clubs yet.

I'll play as long as the course is open. You will have to pry my clubs from my dead hands. I have even played when there was snow on the ground . I personally think it is just a cycle also albeit one that hasn't been seen for many moons.

Tornado warning in Minnesota already this morning. I really hate watching CNN. These things seem to happen earlier in the day now.

Minnesota is a big ol' state. You'll be just fine. And for good measure...good luck to you!.

Weather is freaky. No two ways about it.

As for global warming or prophecies... I doubt it. People have been predicting the end of the world forever, and I'll believe it when it happens. As for "warming" specific - it's gotten colder 'round here.

I agree with it getting colder. It is a much cooler summer than last year and that is possibly why we are having such severe storms. Cooler air masses moving to the east where it is a lot warmer. Not a very good recipe. And I don't believe in the prophecies either. Until I am proven wrong.

Ah, but then it will be too late, won't it?

As for "warming" specific - it's gotten colder 'round here.

If recall correctly the severe cold temperatures and general climactic instability are also predicted as a result of 'global warming'. It goes something like this; as the polar ice caps melt and thin, the cold water dilutes and disrupts warm oceanic currents such as the gulf stream which have much to do with the relatively mild and warm climate experienced in Europe and the American northeast.

So do you think as the polar caps melt, will we lose States/Countries? Will California be no longer (or at least a lot smaller)? I guess the water has to go some where.

We got pounded pretty good on Sunday. There were winds of 80 mph reported, and a few unofficial tornados reported. They were not official because they were not verified by a spotter. However with what I have seen the last few days, it was not just 80 mph winds that came through. There are huge trees that are snapped in half and it is in pockets. There are places with little or no damage and then just a mile up the road 50' trees are down.

As of Monday there were 200,000 people without electricity. We lost it at home for 25 hours. At work our building is on 2 grids. We have electric through most of our facility but we don't have air conditioning and our water comes from a well. No juice to pump, no water to the building. It was a nightmare on Monday. People trying to workout with temps inside above 85. Yesterday was much better. Today was in between. My office is at 80 right now.

Well I heard today that there were an estimated 60 tornadoes yesterday with one hitting a boy scout camp . I would be interested to see what our year totals will be for tornadoes.

We had a downpour on Thursday night and last night I went to check out the low part of my course and all I could see was a big lake with a flag pin sticking out of the spot where the second green usually is. Might be a little while until I get back to the course.

haha, yeah i have junior tourny in Jefferson, WI. apparently the downtown area was pretty flooded a week ago, but the golf goes on.

horrible winter and spring in WI. our HS golf season was cut by 3.5 weeks (out of 7) because of snow/rain. and the course we play at wouldn't let us extend because they didn't want public getting discouraged by the large amount of HS golfers out there everyday.

hybrid- cft ti 4h
irons- fp 4-gap
wedges- 54* and RAC satin 56* 12 bounceputter- 1/2 Craz-Eballs- DT Carry, e5, anything found thats is good shapeshoes-adidashome course - nothing - uh oh. perhaps pleasant view againschool...

      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.
