Default Never hit a Birdie putt short...or..."Hit it Alice"

Here's a golfer I just finished finally...just in time for my Dad's birthday. The figure is Mtn Laurel and the base is Nutmeg. Thanks Keoma. It's 7inches tall and the base is 10 inches long. I made the putter out of a piece of heavy wire. Any and all constructive criticism appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Mike,I know all too well how hard laurel is to cave and buddy you did a nice job with it! The golfer is neat plus your painting fits him nicely also! Good work!

I reckon I should have posted better pics if I want to ask for a critique of my carving. I took these before I shipped it out.

I am a newbie carver so take this is what it's worth but the facial expression certainly reflects what mine would be if I was a golfer I get the feeling that the club won't be so straight in a few minutes. Nice job!

Thanks for the comments. Yes Laurel is very hard, but I like carving it. Perhaps it's because I get it for free. I have a whole pile of it, enough to keep me in carving wood beyond retirement.

As for the expression on the golfer's face, I've had that feeling several times, especially on the 18th green at High Hampton Country Club.
