You asked for critique so... I've never played any of the courses you ranked below 1757, but if they're worse than 1757 I refuse to set foot on them. I've heard Raspberry Falls is fun too, so I can't imagine it should be below 1757. That course is so cramped and partially in a swamp. It's flat, but not walkable because they didn't build enough walking bridges. The story I heard is that they had land to build a much bigger course, but had to sell part of it off for financial reasons so they re-worked the design and crammed into a smaller space. And you must have played Royal New Kent when it was in decent conditions, I'm really jealous of that. I could see how you'd like it but there have been major condition and staffing issues every time I've been there.

Is the S line slowly replacing the MP line? Or is Mizuno on track to have 10 different irons after the S2 and S4 come out?

HA - how would you even fill in the bottom of that bag! I guess there could be a set GW at 42 and a set SW at 46? Then you buy a singe GW at 50-52 and a single sand at 54-58? And then maybe a LW too? Imagine how confusing it would be to tell a caddie what club to grab for you with that bag.
