Charleston Stimpmeter numbers and why hang still matters
A peninsula green that runs ten in the morning and nine after salt spray is not one speed. The toe has to live with both.
Dock notes
Writing from under the brass bar
These are hang notes, not a magazine. Grain, humidity, and the rail itself. If you want a driver article, you are in the wrong alley.
Harbor humidity and how a head opens overnight
A pistol grip takes on moisture. Shaft torque lets the toe fall. February’s 32° hang is not June’s hang.
Face-balance is not the opposite of hang
Zero degrees is a hang of roughly nothing, not a different physics. Catalogs sell stillness. The rail sells a photograph.
Calibrating the Meeting Street rail on Mondays
Salt etches the degree card. A half-degree tilt in the brass is a lie in the silhouette. How we recut and re-level.
Poa grain on peninsula greens, toward the Cooper
Morning poa leans. A 40° blade on a straight-back stroke is a different miss than the same blade on an arc.
Bermuda afternoon grain and face rotation
Ashley-leaning bermuda will punish a face-balanced rest that looked honest on a carpet. The first three inches tell on it.
Salt air, pistols, and why we re-hang in June
If the wrap soaked up the harbor, the toe has already voted. A second photograph is cheaper than a lost summer.
