big ugly sky mark on my driver

I was out on the course today for the first time in awhile. The forecast was for rain (it had rained yesterday) but the sun was out so I took a chance. The first 4 holes were fine- the course had drained reasonably well. The only thing was a pretty stout head wind on some of the holes. Well, I get to hole 5 and I start to notice that it's drizzling a bit and a pretty good headwind is picking up. I decide to hit my driver with the ball teed up real low in order to hit a low shot. So I placed the ball with only about a 1/4 of it showing above the crown of my driver. As I wound up to hit, the wind suddenly kicked up and some huge droplets flew right onto my glasses. Well that messed up everything and I could barely see the ball and I hit my driver fat into the ground and popped the ball straight into the air. After wiping the moisture from my glasses, I noticed a huge (more than half width of the golf ball) scratch mark on my crown . I've taken so well of my driver up to now. Is there anything that can be done? I just hate to look at it at address. Keeps reminding me of that popup.
