Out here, once we retire a wedge, they can still be used for rattlesnake control.:whistle:

I'd never touch it again if that was the case. I'm pretty sure there aren't any rattlesnakes here.

I've heard there is a "rock" snake around but no rattlers...

I know that rattlesnakes can live as far north as the southern 1/3 of Minnesota.  They thrive in Montana.  So they might have once lived in New Hampshire but may have been killed off up there.

This just might be one of the goofiest threads ever. (in a good kind of way LOL). We began with the problem of what to do with a club that's worth no more then $20-25. Now it's evolved into a discussion about snakes and their environs. You can't make this stuff up!

New Hampshire has Timber Rattlers which are state protected. However, due to their size, old wedges don't work. They require old broom stick putters. :-P

In New Hampshire, the timber rattlesnake is likely the most endangered of any wildlife species, as there is only one known extant population

I don't think I have to worry about keeping the wedge for one here...

Bears, moose, bobcats, etc., are another story.

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      A sand trap is not supposed to have 3 inches of water in it. To me that’s temporary, casual water. Just like if your ball lands in a deep rain puddle in the middle of the fairway. I would have gladly hit out of any spot in that bunker. I understand that it’s a different rule. I just think it’s a dumb rule. You are penalized because it rained.  Here’s what I think is the dumbest rule in golf, and all sports for that matter - professionals playing for millions of dollars in a tournament have to carry around a little pencil and scorecard to keep their score and sign it, when there are big scoreboards all over the course and on tv. Can you imagine the Knicks losing because they didn’t count their score correctly? Like I said, I love the game, but it’s time to move into the 21st century already.

      Could course committee have an MLR option to declare this bunker GUR?

      Sorry, I will disagree. You got a penalty because you hit it somewhere and didn't want to play it from there. Bunkers are not the general area. If you had hit it into temporary water in the general area, you'd be entitled to relief. You hit it into a hazard, a bunker. Why should you get free relief when you hit it into a bunker? If someone else hit it into a different part of the bunker, without water, they'd not get a drop for free out of the bunker. Heck, it'd cost them two strokes if they didn't have an ACC and wanted to drop it out of the bunker.
