For anybody interested, back in the summer, I found a set of my grandpa's old clubs at his house, so I decided I redo the paint for him. I think they turned out pretty well for my first paintfill. Now if I could only find some vintage RAM grips...

What's in the bag...
Driver: :macgregor: Jack Nicklaus persimmon driver
Irons: :mizuno: MP33 forged blades, 3-PW
Putter: :seemore: FGP
Ball: :pinnacle: Pinnacle Gold....or whatever I happen to find while digging around in the bushes :-)

Not bad at all! What method did you use for the paintfill on these clubs? Did you use a paint pen, a needle, something else?

Looks good. You could easily sand off the slight over runs.

I just used a toothpick. The hardest part was being patient enough to let each part dry before I moved onto the next part.

Should I just use a high-grit sandpaper?

Yes high grit around a piece of wood to keep it from getting into recessed areas.

Wipe over it gently with a piece of paper towel with some acetone on it. That will take off any unwanted paint and leave the paint you want in the recessed areas. I've done quite a few clubs this way, works great and won't risk scuffing the metal.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
