Not even looking for a response on this but just need to vent. We have all been there when we take a day off from work to hit the course only to have a torrential downpour ruin your day. I can live with that, however, we have a boys/golf weekend coming up this weekend in PEI (about a 4 hour drive) and have 3 rounds scheduled at 3 different courses.

Of course, looking at the weather its calling for 30-35 mm of rain all weekend which will probably be enough where the course would be unplayable. I have been looking forward to this trip for months since it will be a nice weekend getaway from work, homelife, etc. PEI has some outstanding courses compared to my area and we got a sweet package deal. Hopefully we can squeeze all 3 rounds in, heck, I would be happy with 2 of the 3 but if we only get to play 1 or none, then I will be extremely dissapointed.

Cmon Mother Nature, work with me here. It's been beautiful all week, calling for rain all weekend, and when we leave to come back home on Monday, it is calling for nothing but sunshine all week.

How about a torrential downpour to ruin your month? Here in NY, I think I've seen the sun about 3 times in the past month.

Yup!!! Here in Jersey too.

I think I heard a stat on the radio 38 of the last 48 days it has rained. 13 of the last 15! It's driving me nuts.

Same thing here. It seems like every time I want to golf, it rains.

I don't do lightning either. Also I absolutely hate when my hands slip due to rain.

Come to Texas. There are plenty of people that would be willing to pay your green fee.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By Vinsk ·

      I saw a YouTube review on a bunch of ball brands and the Maxfli Tour X did very well in comparison. I bought a sleeve and found them to be excellent in feel and distance. But I’m a lousy golfer so nobody probably cares about my opinion. 😃

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By RandyBobbitt ·

      There seems to be a lot of buzz around the new Maxfli Tour and TourS balls, especially with a handful of tour pros signing on to play them. My understanding is that the Tour is similar to the Titleist ProV1 and TourS is like the Titleist AVX. Has anyone played them? My main concern is that while I liked the feel and performance of the Maxfli balls of many years ago, I found the paint job on them was lousy. The finish looked a bit faded right out of the box, and after a few holes they had faded even more, and sometimes the paint was actually coming off. I'm hoping to find out if they are using a different factory or improved their paint process.  Opinions, please.

      Day 298: range session during lunch. Hit balls for about 20 minutes, focusing on start line and curve. Much better than last night. Then did a stack putting session, which was solid (for me).

      LIV Golf (Saudi PIF), "Mergers," and More

      By Elmer ·

      You advertise LIV as "golf but louder" You had DJ's pumping Jock Jams all over the place. You have Bros who are really into golf and TFG shot gunning 26 oz bud lights, while double fisting a 19 oz coors. What type of behavior do you expect?
