    Nice! The image says it all, Scott. 😆

    That’s a steep price to pay just for tweaking the logo design! 😂

    What else is new? Haven't noticed anything else.


    ⇩⇩ Aha! Thought you made it yourself. 🙂 ⇩⇩

    And one thing I never get to understand is why the hell Callaway won't make 64° wedges...

    Looks like there are some new wedges Simon.

    ⇧ EDIT : I pinched that from WGT's X feed.  ; ) ⇧

    ⇧ EDIT 2 : I put your question Simon, to chatGPT, and this was his (its?) response...

    'Callaway likely doesn't make a 64° wedge because most golfers don’t have a practical need for such a high-lofted club. Wedges with lofts higher than 60° are designed for extremely specific short-game shots, like hitting high, soft shots from tight lies or bunkers, but they can be very difficult to control. A 64° wedge can create a lot of backspin, but it also risks leading to inconsistent ball striking and distance control for most golfers.

    Club manufacturers, including Callaway, generally focus on producing wedges that strike a balance between versatility and usability for a broad range of players. A 64° wedge would cater to a small, niche market, likely more advanced or specialized golfers, so they may not see the demand as high enough to justify adding it to their lineup.

    Some brands, however, have experimented with 64° wedges, so it’s possible to find one through custom or specialty club makers if you're looking for it specifically.' ⇧

    I'd still be at the Tour Master tier (if lucky) if it wasn't for the Cleveland 64*W.  Obviously chatGPT doesn't play WGT.

    I guess chatGPT was looking at Callaway's current clubs.

    Lol @ dangerous Mel.  : ))
