Those you that play Golf, I learned something useful today.

We call them "tees."

Golf is a really, really lame thing. But wooden skewers or bunches of toothpicks work fine.

Trying to screw into the end grain of wood isn't the best thing, either. If you're going to do it you're better off using the hardest wood you can find, not some broken thing that you found laying in a golf course.

Yup. Just like skiing :-)

And they make little corrugated metal strips (ACE Hardware) to insert into screw holes that have stripped out. ...Jim Thompson

What would a crippled old geezer, who lives in a bleak hellhole of a desert, know about skiing?

James was actually starting to go faster than me, on his fancy high-tech rental skis, so I had to clean and wax mine to fend off the threat. It really makes a difference.

John

The idea is right but the device all wrong. Tees are painted and won't hold glue well. They make a tool (looks like a screwdriver with a reamer on the business end) and plugs specifically for this.

e.

Mixing wood fibers into your good epoxy (not 'wood glue') works better as well.

John likes to capitalize on any opportunity to stab at someone he sees.

Sad that the dumb bastard even looks, much less acts, but it is what it is.

It is like a 1972 era Popular Mechanics 'Tip & Tricks' entry.

Dumb by today's standards, at best.

My friend that showed me this is a locksmith and this is what he uses to repair holes. He has a bag of them. They work better than the repair options you buy at the hardware store.

Oh, the irony!

More clulessness from AlwaysWrong.

You ain't real bright, fuckatrd Williams.

Bright enough not to always be wrong, AlwaysWrong. You are most definitely wrong here, as always.

If that vile asshole Thompson elects to insult my wife with lies, why shouldn't I insult him with facts?

John

And it's not a "sport," no matter what a bunch of rich fat white guys may say. In any real sport, when you hit a ball with a stick, some _other_ idiot goes chasing after it. ;-)

Cheers! Rich

It's not a "nice flat surface" - it's a shallow cup that cradles he ball.

And the first time you whack it it's going to split or splinter, kind of rendering the plug moot.

And how do you strip out a hole that fat?

Thanks, Rich

If wax makes skis slippery, howcome it makes surfboards sticky?

Thanks, Rich

I wonder if his colorectal cancer has kicked in yet.
