Does anyone know how to make a snake hook out of a golf club?
Please be as detailed as possible.
Thanks in advance.

I haven't attempted to make one out of a golf club, yet, but I've made several lightweight ones out of camping forks for less than $5 each. I've lifted a 7ft burmese python without bending it.

Have a good one!

I've made one out of a golf club. Worked out really well.
I just cut it off at the length I wanted and got a piece of round steel the same diameter as the hole in the shaft and then found a big round pipe at work the size I wanted and heated the steel with a torch and bent it around the pipe. I secured it into the golf club shaft with JB weld. It holds really well, I've pulled heavy wood over with it and its always held. You could use aluminum instead of steel if you wanted. Would cut down on the weight a bit.
I'd post a pic but havnt been able to find the stupid thing.
