Guessing it's an old timey club. This looks like it'll generate more sidespin.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Not legal now. Was when it was made, I'm sure. They used to allow holes to go straight through the clubhead, after all.

Sidespin, not really. The point of grooves on flatter faced clubs is primarily to get water away so the metal can hit the cover. On regular clubs, grooves don't matter much at creating more spin until your spin loft is approaching 40-45° (wedges), so if you're swiping across a ball at 40° or so, then vertical grooves might add a touch more "sidespin." Sure. But that's not very likely.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 225 (14 Dec 24) - Son called and invited me to play nine with and grandson.  We head to the local course - temps in the mid-50’s, N-NE wind 10-15 mph (hurting going out, helping coming in) as the course pretty much runs N-S on both nines.  Highlight of the round - grandson chips in for par on the 1st hole.  My play was much better to today-five pars, four bogies for a solid 40. Course management as it relates to the wind was key. 4 of the 5 pars were up and down saves as the green side pitches/chips were the ticket.   Have to say it was neat playing with my son and grandson and seeing the love of the game continue….

      Walker Trolleys — The Upper Class Push Cart

      By bkuehn1952 ·

      I just was on the Walker Trolley site. They have announced they closed down the business. I am not sure the date of the announcement, it may very well have been months ago. It is really a shame. Their trolley (push cart in American English) was the sharpest looking cart available.
