I have a circular gouge in my putter!!!!!!!

[laquintaboy82]

Its right on the heel to center of the putter face as i got mad and slammed my putter into the back of the top part of my shaft of my lob wedge, its a ping anser 3. Will this have any affect on my putts as to how the ball rolls? Does anybody know?

[apex53]

That's a tough one pal, that's a tough one.

[laquintaboy82]

so yes or no?

[kpaulhus]

give it a proper burial... lol it should be ok. post a pic.

Seems to me if the ball hits the gouge it will leave the face at an unpredicted angle.

[kpaulhus]

Oh snap...I misread. Its on the face of the putter....ouch.

unless you got a serious mill at home to grind/buff that baby out i think you better put it to rest...that's put...not putt btw haha

[wabobbo]

do you have a dent on the shaft of your wedge too?

[laquintaboy82]

no just the rubber end of the grip is torn off lol. so the end of my wedges shaft is imprinted on the putter face toward the center.lol at least i hit it solid lmao!!!!

i'm still not sure how you managed to dent the face of an anser short of putting it in a vice and slamming it with a hammer.

i hit it pretty hard out of frustration at redhawk golf club in temecula i had so many looks at birdies and everything that day were lipping out and i just had enough but i wonder if it affects the roll? ive been using it and it seems different

It affects the roll if you believe it affects the roll . Putting is so mental. For example, I remember 25 years ago I played a great escape from the base of a greenside tree but banged a root in the process. I really couldn't see any damage, but I felt something wasn't right. I lost my mojo with it and retired it soon thereafter, never to be used again.

Ah yes, Redhawk will do that to you...

[laquintaboy82]

I cant even put into words how much i love redhawk its such an all around challenging course from tee to green the fairways may look generous and a couple are but if you dont hit the right spot on the fairway you be in some deep rough.you cant just hit everyfairway in the middle it will end up in some nastly places also all the grass bunkers and slope and teired greens they had the champion tour q school there every year

[DaSportsGuy]

Looks like you need a new putter...

[laquintaboy82]
