I'm going to PGA Village in Florida this Spring Break. Have any of you been there? Golfed there? Is it nice? I imagine it is. I heard it's like the #1 rated golf course in America.

It's rated highly, but Pine Valley, Cypress Point, etc. are way, way above it in those terms.

PGA Village is nice. I played the Dye Course there a few years back before I left Florida. Some pictures are here (not of the course so much). I think Rafcin had a HIO there, didn't he?

I think that's the one - pga village in Port St. Lucie

http://www.pgavillage.com . Very, very nice, especially the Dye course. Make sure you plan a day in the PGA Learning Center, it's an orgy for a practice freaks, especially the sand bunker section with 10 different bunkers, filled with 10 different types of sand...

Yes Sir, he did. 6th hole on the North course. With front left pin location put the ball with a high draw on the right side of the green with a bit of spin... the rest will take care of itself

      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?
