    • Attempted to play golf this morning despite the rain.  Rain gear - Check, cart cover - check.  Steady rain before we left, but forecast predicting it would ease up in a couple of hours.  Steady rain all the way there.  Entering the golf course, no one in sight on either course.  My wife - this doesn't look good.  Me - courses will be wide open. No one to hold us up.  Almost no one in the parking lot (am I nuts?).  More often than not, by the time you get to the course, rain has eased up and you can get a round in.  Moment of truth time.  Forecast now showing more rain for at least a couple of more hours.  Course looking quite "soggy" .  My wife - I'm not playing in this ...., so decision made.  Went in and cancelled.  Silver lining, on the drive home we stopped for a lovely breakfast, but I couldn't help but think.  If I was a member there, I would have at least played 9 holes.  lol
    • I immediately started looking at trade in value for my iron set. I love these clubs. The bronze and the black shafts go so well together. I’ve been wanting to look into swapping my hot metals for 790’s anyways. 
    • I love walking. Best advice is to get a power caddy. I have an MGI Navigator with remote. I play on a very hilly course and it is great . I can carry lots of water and snacks in the pouch . Easy fold up if you don’t have club storage at your club . Try a push cart first to see if it works for you . Enjoy the walk . The only issue that I ever have is when the other 3 in my group rush past me in their carts
    • I'm getting the same spreadsheet you are. Looks like someone modified the sheet for their own needs and saved over the one that was there. Maybe the OP can restore the original one...
    • It's about gapping in my bag and dispersion honestly @Rob Person, so the "less distance" isn't exactly what it seems in my mind. My current setup is 5I-PW in the Callaways and a 49* Edison wedge. That covers 185-110 yards in my bag right now per Arccos with 7 clubs. The Haywood set is 4I-PW and is 7 clubs. As of now (again, my data isn't 100% complete), it's covering around 190-115 in my bag.  The number on the iron is different (the Haywood 4I is going around the same distance as the Callaway 5I, the Haywood 5I equal to the Callaway 6I, and so on and so on), but the actual gapping distance with the 7 clubs has been very similar. I just have to pull a different number out of the bag if that makes sense. If you think of it in terms of "I need a 150 club" that would have been my Callaway 8. So far, it's a Haywood 7. But I'm getting the distance correct and I don't have a gap issue. Except maybe at the PW/Edison 49 spot in the bag. If anything is off right now, it's that. I hit the Callaway PW 125 and the Edison 49* 110 and then I go to Edison 53* and I hit that 95. I've been hitting the Haywood 9I 125, the Haywood PW 115 and then the Edison 53* is still 95 and that 20-yard gap was an issue last round on 2 holes. Ego wise, do I hit the Haywood 5 iron or 8 iron (or whatever iron) as far compared to the same number on the Callaway...no. But so long as I know my yardages and can hit those yardages, who cares what number is on the club? My ego won't be hurt if someone asks what club I hit on a par 3 and I have to tell them a bigger number. ESPECIALLY if I can have less front/back and left/right dispersion. I said from the beginning that to replace the Callaways, I'd have to keep the gapping yardages the same and reduce dispersion/gain accuracy. So far, the number of the iron I have to hit into a green is 1 higher, but I'm hitting better shots...and who doesn't enjoy hitting better shots? Plus, these are irons...scoring clubs...not distance clubs. I'll trade some yards into the green for yards closer on putts!
