Wow, looks more suited to Croqeut than golf. Cant find anyting on the interweb about it.

Looks like its pretty old though.

Looks like a mallet type putter. It appears to have a stick on label. Stickers were invented in 1935 so it’s no older than that. Being a metallic/ plastic sticker I’d put it as younger than that maybe 50’s 60’s era. Just a guess though

That's pretty cool looking.

If it didn't have such a long shaft on it I would have guessed Ball peen hammer!

Second guess a hybrid croquet mallet or a polo stick for shorter people???

not all that unusual design. It is older but, I remember seeing similar about twenty years ago that looked to have been CNC Milled, cylindrical, but not with end caps. The head also did not have a flat face. The idea was to impart top spin. You would hit just like any putter, not like a croquet mallet. Not sure of the legality, but if I were to design something like that, I would have the ends as wheels and use a push stroke as in shuffle board. Dumb? Maybe, Effective?, probably, Different? definitely.

Yup pretty much, except for colour. The ones I saw were S/S  About that same time frame, I seem to recall seeing Drivers and Fairway Woods, that were sort of mallet shaped. I don't know if that was some sort of weird dream, or I actually saw them at a pro shop. Maybe "The Hammer?". Looked like a sledge hammer on a shaft.

Neat idea and you might want to patent that as Bryson DeChambeau might start doing that next week!!

Wouldn't be the first time one of my nutty,half-baked,  often mocked, ideas take on a life of their own. As for my motivation, I tend to offer up things on the spur of the moment, regardless of what others may think. Most are silliness, some worthwhile, but all are original thinking notwithstanding that they are often having been influenced by something or someone else. I take no credit for the good, but accept the criticism of those that are not. Regarding the above, recall Sam Snead's frontal "penny pitching" style that was outlawed and he opted to go side saddle.

Nah, Chuck prefers a much thicker shaft to accommodate his G.I. Joe Kung-Fu grip.

Still in use in some parts.  I had one as a youth, pretty effective as I recall, if you kept the blades sharpened which would probably be a lost art today. or ask Clint Eastwood in   "Get off my lawn".  (Gran Torino).

I have used it to hammer a few visible nails in the rafters of my garage. It is strange that everyone I show this thing to is impressed by it, but no one has a clue as to what it is. Thanks for your input

Well, if anyone bumps into Chuck, let him know that I will return it to him for a handsome reward.

My co-worker did find this picture, which appears to show a similar club in the upper left corner.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
