Measure
Read the butt
Ellis calipers the grip end facing Rice Park brick. Millimeters first. Texture stories later.
Ramsey · Drawer 07 · cap diameter
File the lid to the butt. Do not borrow a neighbor's diameter.
Grip Cap is a municipal records hall. Ellis measures the butt. Petra picks a cap inner diameter. Corin date-stamps the manila. An oversize lid on a thin butt is how Saint Paul hands spin on Summit after the first dry week. Drawer 07 will not average two diameters as a courtesy to a matching set.
Match
Pick the lid
Petra writes undersize, stock, or oversize. Bluff wind moves feel. Folders survive a walk to Cathedral Hill.
Refuse
Spinning lids
A tall cap on a thin butt is a folder that will not stay shut. The hall sends it home.
Why a hall
Catalog lids remember color. Diameters remember whether the hands still own the club.
People walk over from Wabasha with a cap they liked because it matched a bag. Color is not an inner diameter. Saint Paul dry weeks will shrink a wrap that hid an oversize lid in June. Como then reports the spin the manila already named.
Suite 7 opened in 1999 because Ellis Grunwald was tired of watching Summit players chase a spinning lid down the canopy. The date stamp is original. The manila gets replaced whenever someone uses a folder as a fan at an Xcel let-out.
Voices from the drawers
People who left a spinning lid at the catalog
Petra calipered my driver and the lid was a county away from the irons. I had been blaming Harriet Island dew. The dew was only making the spin honest.
They asked if I play Como in the morning or Grand after work. I said both. Corin issued two folders. The date stamp does not do both.
