Just got my driver and 3W regripped today and the guy said "Tomorrow afternoon it should be good to go". How long does it take for the whatever to dry and I can use it? I was going to go hit a bucket tomorrow and I need a more specific answer than "afternoon".

haha I've always given myself the old 20 minute rule, I also had my driver regripped today at my range and then just hit some wedges and 9 irons for 20 mins or so and went right to the driver

probably should be fine before then. do you know how he put it on? some places still use solvent to slide the grip on whereas my local shop use an air machine thing to put it on. if he said afternoon i would just go on around 1-2 o'clock?

You will be fine no matter when you go tomorrow. The solvent evaporates very quickly and the grip sets. (Ask anyone who has tried to adjust the grip position more than a minute or two after putting it on - virtually impossible.) But I usually wait a couple of hours to be safe.

The only exception would be if you had the shaft extended. Then you need to allow additional time for the epoxy to set. 24 hours should be sufficient for that. (There is quick setting epoxy, but even so, why risk fouling up the work you just did/paid for?)

Simply leaving it overnight is plenty of time. Try doing it yourself next time, its quite simple.

I believe even the video on the Winn Grip Site says 30 minutes. You could probably trust that as the rule.

    • Makes sense.  Like I said, I wouldn't have been upset at their original offer either, and based on the fine print it seems like they've held up their end of the deal.  
    • If you've only had to adjust retroactively one time in 8 years and have around 5 people each year without handicaps, that's like 40-50 people total so it sounds like you're doing a pretty good job. I think your questions give enough to go off of. This might be a good way to get new people to actually post a few scores during the 6 weeks leading into the first event. Something like "New members will be eligible for tournament money once they have at least 3 posted rounds in GHIN" or something like that. If they can get 3 rounds in prior to their first event, then they're eligible. If not, they'll soon become eligible after an event or two assuming they play a little bit outside of events.
    • This is a loooooong winded narrative so if you don't like long stories, move on. 😉 Our senior club typically gets about 25 new members each year. We lose about 25 members each year for various reasons (moved to FL/AZ, disabled, dead, too expensive). Of the new members, usually 20 have an active GHIN handicap. About 5 each year do not have a GHIN handicap. When they join our club, we give each member a state association membership that includes GHIN handicapping services. We play a series of handicapped tournaments over the summer. When we sign up a new member who does not have a GHIN handicap, we attempt to give them an estimated index until they have sufficient scores posted to have an actual GHIN index.  Our first event typically is around May 15 so, in theory, a new member has about 6 weeks to post a few scores. Posting season in the Mitten starts April 1. Inevitably, several of the unhandicapped individuals seem  to either not play until the first tournament or can't figure out how to enter scores (hey, they are seniors). That situation then leads to my contacting the new member and asking a series of questions: a. Did you ever have a GHIN handicap? If yes, which State and do you recall what it was? b. Do you have an alternate handicap through a non-GHIN handicap service or a league? c. What do you think your average score was last year (for 9 or 18) d. What was your best score last year? Where did you play and which tee was used? e. What do you consider a very good score for yourself? Based on their responses I attempt to give them an index that makes them competitive in the first couple events BUT does not allow them to win their flight in the first couple events. We don't want the new members to finish last and at the same time, we don't want someone with a "20" playing handicap to win the third flight with a net 57. In the event some new member did shoot a net 57, we also advise everyone that we can and will adjust handicaps retroactively when it is clear to us that a member's handicap does not accurately reflect their potential. We don't like to adjust things retroactively and in the 8 years I have chaired the Handicap Committee, we have only done it once. So here are the questions to the mob: Any ideas how to do this better? Any questions one might ask an unhandicapped individual to better estimate their index/handicap? Would it be reasonable to have a new player play once (or more?) without being eligible to place in the money?
