View Full Version : Dumb things I did today.

I have a Scotty Newport. Nice putter, in top nick.
It's a little upright...
I don't own a putting bending machine - also don't know anyone who does... I own a vice, a rather nice one - and I have some pieces of wood to use as soft-jaws...
I's a clubmaker of sorts - I reckon I can flatten the lie on this expensive putter with a couple of pieces of wood and a vice.
So what I should do is have 3 or 4 glasses of Barossa Shiraz with some golf mates and discuss how I can mold my vice and some wood into an improvised putter bending machine... then we should go downstairs to the workshop and make that shit happen.
Simple answer is "No, I can't flatten this putter with a vice and some pieces of kindling."
Putter Bending FAIL.
Anyone want a cheap Scotty ?

Oh yeah - I rooted it but you won't see it in pics.
It is now about 5 degrees closed and has 10 degrees of loft. Now I need to find someone with a putter bending machine to un-root it.
Just a dumb move.

Why Mike? What's left for me to stuff up? ;)
btw. The Anser Notchback got a run on the cored/sanded greens for the past couple of weeks. (Lightweight version was good on the sand, but not so good on the longer growth last Wednesday.)

Try not remembering what ball you are using. Much less chance of making that mistake then.

Running around going mental cos I couldn't find my belt. Hard to spot when you're wearing it already.

Found an old ball near a tee block when walking off to put driver into bag , thought i might throw it up & swing the driver at it Baseball style (was hitting away from the course into vacant land) , hit it flush with the shaft close to the hosel resulting in the head going further than the ball bounced off a toilet block roof!
Now searching the net for EPIC 68 in reg!!!

I've seen it done with a putter after 4 consecutive 3 and 4 putts on the 4th at Cairns. Straight over the first row of houses into the ether it went. Putter head landed in the bunker.

And thus was coined the phrase "EPIC fail".

Early on today I was told that if Lagerlover hit a shank he would have a bunch of them. He just hit an awesome one on the 2nd.
Dumb thing I did - not getting the camera out on the 3rd tee.
