i noticed alot of pro tour players are grinding there leading edges on there wedges to a square finish as opposed to the stock curved finish,is this purely for there own piece of mind or does it have another purpose,say like for spin or something,and is it worth giving it a try for mid handicappers??

I think it's due to turf interaction and how it looks more similar like an iron

Turf interaction, also alignment. If you have a rounded edge and hit a lot of shots with the face open, it seems more comfortable. If you prefer to stay square, the rounded edge can mess with your eye.

ive never lived the rounded edge, on my mizunos you can get the R for rounded or the T (i think its a T) for a squarer leading edge.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.

      Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
