Has anyone else's cover gotten sticky? I tried washing it with Fantastic but its still sticky. Its both the front and back covers BTW. Is there some kind of varnish or something on the paper that might cause this? I swear I haven't spilled anything on it that would cause this...

I put over 5 because the last two rounds have both been over 5 hours... Its a really tough course (72.6/143 from the blues) but come on! Just for fun I tried to estimate how long golf shots actually take from start to finish... Driver/Tee shot Approach shot Putting Par 3 tee shot Driving time between holes 90 seconds 85 seconds 105 sec. 110 sec. 60 seconds So I laid these numbers out in a grid assuming par 72 and inserted 60 seconds drive time after every shot. I came up with a total of 2 hours and 32 minutes for 18 holes! Now granted this is for 1 player and only for 72 shots (and no lost balls) and maybe my estimates are way too low but where do we lose another 2 1/2 hours? I'm playing tonight so I'm going to time some of my playing partners and see how long they take to execute their shots. For example this is the format and times I used for the driver. Driver Time put tee in ground 15 sec step back and line up/find object in the distance 15 sec step up & take practice swing 15 sec set-up over ball 15 sec hit ball 10 sec watch shot land 10 sec pick up tee 10 sec Total 90 sec

I've got some friends going out to Chambers Bay in a few weeks and I was wondering how long until conditions are back to "normal" - whatever normal would be for a course like that?

I did this to a White Hot Pro #7 and its a fun project. I was attempting to blacken a putter that I bought from someone who bead-blasted it and I just didn't like the look of it. I used some Caswells (sp?) blackener and it wasn't what I wanted so I decided to try torching it. In the process of torching it I managed to heat it up enough to make the glue holding the insert in fail and the insert fell out! Turns out its held in with a black silicone adhesive. You can see it surrounding the insert. I made an aluminum insert (including deep-milling) and it made almost no difference in the feel. The Odyssey #7's are hollow and the insert is held in place by a plastic carrier. So unless you replace this carrier you are still "insulated" from the insert if that makes sense. Its a fun experiment and you can get black RTV sealant at any hardware store to glue in the insert. I made mine snug enough so it didn't need any adhesive. Give it a try and feel free to ask questions. Make sure you post some pictures of the completed project with your impressions!

OK I had to give this a try... 4 balls [VIDEO]http://youtu.be/E6iiewo0HuQ[/VIDEO] 5 balls [VIDEO]http://youtu.be/d8rn9Nv7qa0[/VIDEO] and last but not least 7 balls and a pretty funny ending! [VIDEO]http://youtu.be/kCQIVoZje5I[/VIDEO] BTW The phone is fine!
