In the WITB Photo Edition thread I was asked about one of my putters so without junking that thread up with a different topic...

I stripped the honey finish from a CA Series Sonoma using naval jelly from the hardware store.  It was very easy to do and had no effect whatsoever on the paint fill.

The process is fast...

  • brush on the naval jelly with a brush to coat the entire putter head well
  • let it sit for 10 min
  • rinse off with warm water
  • repeat

This stuff has a strong rotten egg smell when it's working so you probably want to do it outside.

Looks like a Studio Select now! Just kidding. Looks simple and clean. Thanks for sharing.

It is very close to the finish of my studio select.  I don't like the looks of the putter, but it makes the most putts.  I had to do something to make it a bit more "mine"

That's pretty sick......One of the classiest looking putters I've seen if they just have the "scotty cameron" on the bottom and get rid of that "California Sonoma" crap....

looks good :)

The schoolteacher was taking her first golfing lesson. "Is the word spelt p-u-t or p-u-t-t?" she asked the instructor. "P-u-t-t is correct," he replied. "Put means to place a thing where you want it. Putt means merely a vain attempt to do the same thing."

    • I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.    
    • No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.
    • Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.

    • Thanks man, sometimes it’s hard to improve bc when I’m not feeling comfortable I don’t like practicing bc I get frustrated. Any advice?
