Red right? :-\

Look at the LSW badge in your (or my) signature. Definitely orange...

I get that, but the book cover doesn't have that same color. It's more red than orange.

Well, of all the people who bough the book, there was bound to be ONE unknowing colorblind person.

[quote name="saevel25" url="/t/73771/lsw-book-cover-design-discussion/60#post_1011162"] I get that, but the book cover doesn't have that same color. It's more red than orange.[/quote]Lol ... It couldn't be any more orange if it tried. Might not hurt to make an appointment with an optometrist. ;)

Add to the fact different monitors render colors differently and there's nevah gonna be any agreement. I can adjust my monitor settings to make it red. :-) Should have gotten the hardcover. Book is taking abuse between bags.

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

Well the hardcover has a darker tint to it, probably throwing it off. You can tell a slight difference between the hardcover and the soft cover book. Soft cover looks more orange than the hardcover.

It's the OSU influence.  Everything is RED!

That would be Scarlet, but close enough.

No, I think it is the hardcover. Not sure if the white is a different shade, or hue, but when I put both books under a bright light the letters look more similar, and I admit orange. The paperback does seem to hold the orange more. When the hardcover is not under bright light, then it becomes darker tone, and less orange. Not outright red, but it gets that orangish-red look.

So it's easy to tell the difference between red and scarlet, but not red and orange?? ;)

No I was just claiming OSU's primary color is Scarlet not red. I never said I could tell the difference :whistle:

Of course as I look at the paperback copy  I have now, it is very orange. This is not the color on the hardcopy. I'll post a picture of them side by side later today.

Ink behaves differently. No need for a picture - it's still orange. It might be "redder" than the paperbacks, but it's still orange.

I could mess with the white balance and other things and make it look blue if I wanted to. :)

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
