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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 3 (11 Mar 26) - midweek round with friends.  Good session with an 83 (38 / 45).  Got some great up and down pars (6 of 9) with a total 27 putts.  Made for a relaxed round.

      Day 206 3-11 Focused on wider backswing and reconnecting arm in downswing. Wasn't really happy with how swing was looking today. Wider backswing is very different for me. Went back to do a some longer pauses at the top. Hit a few foam balls.

      This is an awesome breakdown. most of the bigger tournaments usually have one wave with the advantage, Thank you for the breakdown. If it is soft then it will be a lower final score

      2026 Players Championship

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Over the past 15 years, the winning score has ranged from -10 to -20. Mostly around -13.  Here is Thursday and Friday weather. Saturday and Sunday weather. I think the course will play soft. Plenty of sky cover, lots of rain on Thursday. Fairways and greens will probably stay soft throughout the week.  In terms of tee times, I think Thursday morning and Friday afternoon have the biggest advantage. I bolded the big group of each set.  Most beneficial with the weather Round 1: No. 1 tee, Round 2: No. 10 tee 7:40 a.m., 12:30 p.m.: Mark Hubbard, Thorbjørn Olesen, Mac Meissner 7:52 a.m., 12:42 p.m.: Bud Cauley, Vince Whaley, Chandler Phillips 8:04 a.m., 12:54 p.m.: Emiliano Grillo, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Max Greyserman 8:16 a.m., 1:06 p.m.: Kevin Yu, Cam Davis, Gary Woodland 8:28 a.m., 1:18 p.m.: Ricky Castillo, Ryan Gerard, Patrick Cantlay 8:40 a.m., 1:30 p.m.: Adam Schenk, Garrick Higgo, Matt McCarty 8:52 a.m., 1:42 p.m.: Brian Harman, Maverick McNealy, Davis Riley 9:04 a.m., 1:54 p.m.: Sami Valimaki, Lucas Glover, Matt Fitzpatrick 9:16 a.m., 2:06 p.m.: Michael Brennan, Harris English, J.T.
