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.

      Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing

      I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning.

      Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
