  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.

  ⇩⇩ EDIT I : Aha! Thought you made it yourself. 🙂 ⇩⇩

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

  ⇩⇩ EDIT III : Thanks, Scott. Didn't think of asking it to a machine. Man... A man asking to his buddy, a son asking his dad, a junior asking a senior, a student asking a teacher, those days when people asked each other things are over, I guess. It kinda leaves a bitter taste. :-/ ⇩⇩

  Looks like there are some new wedges Simon.

  ⇧ EDIT : I pinched that picture 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.' ⇧

  ⇧ EDIT 3 : I think you and I will be long gone before people stop talking to each other Simon. Talking to a 'robot' feels quite novel to me, I like it. My dad didn't talk to me much, maybe that's why. ⇧

  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.

  Watching a spiral blue saying loading for 9 hours now.. So fun knowing mOst will lose there logging streak.. Bad enough I lost about 1000 credits in events because wgt can disconnect while playing a game and wgt wins every time that happens.. How about returning credits when a game is inturupted??  that's just wgt profit isn't it?   How long will you be down, I'm just staring and staring, since last night.  Such frustration
