Golf Random Irritations

Got my eye on a cobra 3 wood.
Went to the driving range today and my current 3 wood was on its best behaviour so now i don’t know what to do 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Buy the Cobra and show it to your current three wood every now and again.
It'll keep it on it's toes.
 
Weather forecasts. Every app I looked at and BBC News all said no chance of rain. Absolutely hosed it down about 2.00 just ahead of my tip for the day Kew Gardens beating Stradivarius across the road at the racing. Fortunately I had a set of waterproofs (not the leaky ones) and a brolly but no rain hood or spare gloves
 
The forcast up here (Glasgow) is pretty much always rain, I just ignore it now as I have only been rained on once out on the course despite every single forcast, every single day i am heading out showing non-stop rain.

If i paid the forcast any attention i would never get out.
 
Winter golf is definitely here, judging by the number of pitch shots which I fatted into wet mud today. :(
Which is why I have spent the last two weeks working on a) a conventional technique with less moving parts than the linear version and b) trying different bounce options and playing off the barest or wettest lies I can find. Practice hasn't gone well as I've mentioned on here but it really clicked at the weekend. I am hoping if I keep doing the same thing on a regular basis it will get me ahead of the game. I know you don't practice much but surely it has to be worth an hour at the club messing around with different clubs
 
Thomas Bjorn, 151 on the race to Dubai. 117 is the bubble for losing your card. Does the immediate past Ryder Cup captain lose his status if he is outside the bubble? Would seem strange.

I suspect he will be one of the guys this year who will get lifetime membership and prob will spend more time on the seniors tour
