Hi all,

I am from Hungary, might sound a bit bizarre for you since 99% of you are from North America =))

I wasn't really interested in golf (or any other sport) until a friend excited me about it, so I went and bought a cheap set, and ever since I've been golfing for 2 months at least once a week.

All I can say is that golf is wonderful, and what makes it so is its versatility, its plenty little details, and the combination of physical, mental, and social activities.

I just want to say that I love your forum, its friendly environment, and the great information sharing it has.

Cheers!

I think fewer of us are from North America than you think But I don't think anyone here is from Hungary, so hello! Feel more than welcome.

I don't know much about Hungary. Do you guys have a good choice of courses? How is the weather, pretty temperate?

Keep on playing! Maybe you can be the first superstar to represent your country one day on the PGA

Guilty as charged.
I am from North America although I lived in Asia for a year and have thoroughly enjoyed visiting Europe - Ireland, Austria & Germany. Oh, and a couple of hours at Heathrow.

Welcome to the Sand Trap!

P.S. baal, you need to work on your handicap index. It looks like it's out of control!

Hey thanks for the welcome!!

Well to answer first about the golf situation in Hungary, well, it's not such a common sports here, so there are about 3 golf courses altogether around the capital, and not much more scattered around the country, but nothing compared to the density you see in the UK or the USA. The ones I've been into here are in very good condition, service is great, and the mood is friendly. Now about the weather, basically Hungary is a flat country surrounded by moutains from all sides, so the weather is mild, and not too much precipitation, so it's perfect for golf for at least 8 months a year!

About the handicap score I put... well I haven't played 18 holes yet, so I never got any handicap calculated, and since it's not optional in the UserCP, I had to put a quite high number to represent symbollically my skills for the moment =))

cheers!

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      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?
