At work today one of my employees came up to me and asked me if I was golfing this weekend. I replied yes, and she then said she had something for me to try. Apparently her husband who is retired now, has made a putter and has made replicas of it and sold them around the city. Not only that, but the putter has supposedly been approved.

Now out of curiousity, does anyone know whats involved in getting a club approved by USGA for use?

Regardless I'm going to try the putter out because curiousity has me now ( especially since the only way she could describe it was "weird looking" )

It just got me more thinking about what exactly is involved in getted a putter approved, and also if many other people have come across anything similar ( homemade clubs )

In my bag:

Nike SQ DYMO 10.5
Big Bertha 3 Wood
Big Bertha 3-10 IADAMS Tom Watson Classic 54,58 and 64 Wedges Nike Oz 5 Putter/Wilson Staff ( not sure model, bought it in second hand store ) Ball: Bridgestone E6

i have seen some pretty weird putter designs. Does anybody know what you can't do on a putter? I assume you can't have any moving parts, like you couldn't put ball bearings on the bottom of it (could you?)

putters very in weight, material, design, etc.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
