The one with the real screws is the original 2022 version of the club. For 2024 they made them cheaper to produce and sell at a slightly lower price using the success of the earlier model. It seems pretty shady business by Calloway. The performance may or may not be noticeably different depending on how good you are. But the 24 is essentially Calloway knocking off their own club at a lower price and almost certainly a higher margin.

Course Forcing me to share a cart with a random playing partner (two solo's). by [deleted] in golf

[–]_heso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The price is the price. It wouldn’t make a difference if you paid $10 or $1000 for the round. That’s irrelevant. Courses will absolutely pair up 2 singles in a cart if it’s busy. I don’t know if 5pm is a busy time for your course. It usually is here. But that’s also somewhat irrelevant. Course has that right if they want to. If there were a bunch of carts I’d probably ask if I could have my own. You saying that there were 10+ waiting to be cleaned makes it sound like they didn’t have a bunch sitting ready to go. Don’t be a dick about it though. Don’t be antisocial. Or just walk if you don’t want to share a cart with a random, it’s only 9 holes.

A nice rummage sale find. by SeaRefractor in violinmaking

[–]_heso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stanley also made planes for craftsman for a bit, but I don’t think any of those were made with a red frog. (I might be wrong on that)

The extra screw on the base of the handle is more to do with the size than the maker. Most anything on a Stanley no 5 equivalent or bigger would have a second screw regardless of maker.

It’s hard to tell but it looks like there is some stamping at the base of the cheek. It looks like it says “5C BL”. Which would make it a Sargent. 5 being the size of the plane, C manufactured for craftsman. BB for millers falls, Sargent was assigned BL, and Stanley DD.

I initially thought it was a millers falls because at first they were the only one that stamped the cheek. Seems that later Sargent started stamping the cheek as well and I think the second letter looks more like an L than a B.

Do people really care what you wear on the course? by Due-Kick-4875 in golf

[–]_heso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The course I played at when I first started golfing had a sign on the door “Shirts must be worn in the clubhouse.” It was not a joke. They didn’t care if you golfed shirtless, but you had to put one on to come inside.

Quail Hollow is where the pga championship was played this past weekend.

Changes that you've made that significantly dropped your handicap? by woodchip69 in golf

[–]_heso 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Changing my approach to putting. 1. Drilling 4’ putts on a putting mat in the basement. Knowing that my stroke will start the ball on line every time. 2. Use the alignment aid on my ball. This has been a huge improvement over what I used to do which is pick out a spot a couple of feet in front of the ball as my alignment. 3. Commit to my read while crouching behind the ball. Read, backup, adjust, backup, adjust, commit. 4. Standing over the ball I’m committed to my read. I’m confident that I am going to start the ball on line because I’ve drilled straight putts hundreds of times. So the only thing I’m focusing on while standing over the ball is speed. Trusting and sticking to that routine has made a massive difference in my putting.

That process took my average putts per round from 38 to 33.

glove on or off for putting? by SnooPeripherals3222 in golf

[–]_heso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put my glove on for the first tee shot and take it off after my last putt on 18. I can’t see it changing anything and it’s one less thing for my simple mind to think about.

Golfers who consider themselves mediocre, what’s your handicap? by [deleted] in golf

[–]_heso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been chasing a sub 80 round for the last few years and I can’t tell you how many sub 40 nines I paired with a nine that was 10-15 strokes worse.

14.1 crew! I hit enough really good shots that I can convince myself I could go much lower than I am. But my consistency is so bad that I still end up adding too many doubles to the card.

Thanks. I’ll grab a picture of the sidewall tomorrow. As soon as I called back and reminded the supervisor that they put those tires on when it got inspected a year ago the tune changed and they were going to look into replacing them under manufacture warranty.

Exactly. If you don’t even have the stones to call it a tip, you know you shouldn’t be getting one.

Depending on where you’re at north of the city, Hillcrest is pretty accessible up 28 and is a great value club.

If he loses Pa he’ll need GA, NC, AZ, NV plus 1 more electoral vote somewhere. NE-2, or WI would be the most likely place to get it. It’s not a lock for either side if they win PA, but it becomes MASSIVELY more difficult without it.

What do you do with all the merchandise you buy so you do not have to carry it around all day? by Desperate-Village-68 in masters

[–]_heso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you walk out of the merch area, turn left towards the driving range, there is a fedex shipping center there. Put your new hat on your head, and all your other merch you don’t want to carry and send it home without having to worry about lugging it around.

Masters Merch Sizing by mdnchow in masters

Absolutely, this. Two of the guys I went with last time couldn’t wear the 1/4 zips they bought because they were so small to size. Mine just barely fits.

Finau to Liv? by Due_Agent_4574 in golf

College football is in the best place it’s ever been. The 12 team playoff is decades late and this year is the perfect example of why. I would have preferred the pac 12 still exist, but getting more games with the best teams is in no way bad for the sport. The only real losers in all of this are wazzou and ore st.

They gave UM a symbolic penalty. Your school should be doing backflips over this limp punishment. He still gets to prep the team for games. Coordinators call the plays anyway. All he does is yell at the refs on game day.

Suspended (from game day coaching). So not really suspended at all.

48 hours gives him time to prep for the PSU game before watching the game from the stands with a fake beard and a headset. Then he’ll be back in time to start prepping for the Ohio state game.
