I just acquired a Wilson 8802 putter in outstanding condition. I know it’s not a 1964, because the face is too big, but I think it’s still an older model. I was wondering if anyone here could help me hone in on the approximate year it was produced.

 

The words are roll stamped, and Wilson is in red, however the face is quarter sized, rather than nickel sized. Unfortunately the shaft appears to have been cut down a bit and the grip has been replaced. I’ve got some other Wilson putters on the way that do have original grips, and I think I might swap one of those back onto this guy, because it’s gorgeous.

Some pics below to aid in identification.

Does it have the shaft band still? That could help.

It does, but it’s pretty worn. No colors or triangles visible. Just Head Speed.

 

Also, the first step on the shaft is at 8 3/16” if that helps at all. Club is 34” total

      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.

      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?
