"Putter's playground in progress"

To add interest on demos - I posted a photo of a handle assembly I'm bringing to Charlotte for Putter to "play " on. Basics - black 6'6" two piece spinning blank cork with blue hypalon ring inserts in the grips; American Tackle blue ring spinning reel seat. When ready for marbleizing magic it will have a dark blue / color shift area for Putter to ... putter on.

Pretty classy work but your photgraphy leaves a little to be desired. Or did you make it out of focus so the dog hair would not show.

Out of focus so the defects could be covered up until the grip is shaped! LOL

Did I ever tell you about that black cloud over my head, Ken?? I'll probably have to go to the room early Saturday night after the hand-trembling mess I make of your rod, have several PBR's while stripping it back down and re-doing it so that it's presentable!!
I don't do well in front of people and this WILL be tough on me!!

Hey - I don't know if they sell PBR that far south... Ever tried Coors Gold? YUMMY - but 'my treat' on the coldies!

If they don't have PBR, I'll try it. I really hope I don't mess this up, Ken!!

No problem --- believe me I'm used to messing things up. One way to learn how to do repairs now ain't it?

Putter,

Just picture everyone in their under drawers. On second thought, that may not be such a good idea. If there are several "hotties" there it could tend to be a major distraction!!!
