Among the assortment of modern technical wizardry in golf clubs, like "perimeter weighting" and such, we find the purely philosophical-sounding feature, "forgiveness."  Now, I know what it technically means, but I'm intrigued by the word choice itself.  It's great -- I wonder who came up with it? 

All I know is, if some clubs are forgiving, mine actually hold a grudge! 

I've overheard them talking about it, there in the bag at night.  The 3-wood says, "I remember how often he's cursed me to my face, as though his misses are my fault!  Well, just watch what I do.  When he closes my face, I'll open it.   When he swings on plane, I'll twist outside-in.  When he tries to trap the ball on the downswing, I'll flatten out so he tops -- or even whiffs!  Ha ha ha!"

And the irons answer,"Well, I'm so sick of him chunking me, getting my grooves all filled with mud!  I'm gonna make his hands sting on every shot, and turn his fade into a banana."

Even the glove has gotten into the act.  "I'm working on a hole in the palm..."

So, how much do these forgiving clubs cost?
