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.

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.

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      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?
