From what I've read mallets work best for straight back and straight through strokes. Anser types perform better for player who either "cut" or "hook" putts. That makes sense to me.

Yep, Justin Rose would be my number six. He might be the classiest guy out there. Would love for him to finally get another major.

I'm really intrigued by the TM Spyder, but after years of putting with an Anser type I'm afraid that drastic of a change won't work. I tend to agree it's not the club but the player. I've been a really good putter throughout my golfing career. I still putt well today, hardly ever three putt but...

Who are your top five favorite pro golfers as we head into 2026? Mine are: Rory McIlroy Tommy Fleetwood Shane Lowery Jason Day Viktor Hovland

After using the same Odyssey White Hot putter for over twenty years, I'm thinking it's past time for an upgrade. While I still favor getting a Anser type blade like my White Hot I'm open to maybe a mallet. I see more and more players both on tour and at my club putting with Taylormade, Scottie...

I totally agree. I don't really count many of the people with whom I play golf as "friends". Our club is hopelessly overcrowded. One has to be in a group to access tee times. I don't dislike any of the guys. I can just take them or leave them. Most of my true friends have died or left the club...

I'm amazed at the success of these idiotic reality TV shows. H L Mencken was right when he said: "nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people". I guess that applies in Europe and the rest of the world too.

LESSONS FROM BOBBY by Chris Matthews. It's about the real RFK not his misguided son.

I'm on a Jethro Tull kick. Ian Anderson is incredibly talented. LIVING IN THE PAST is my favorite.

Well for one thing; three of the four majors are played in the US. All the names you listed (to my knowledge) do not live or even have second homes here in the US. I'm not sure it's a big factor but I think it matters.

I guess this doesn't qualify as a film, but we're watching FOYLE'S WAR on Acorn. I know it's a decade old but we love it. We subscribed to Acorn a few months ago because we've had Britbox for a couple of years. I actually watch both almost exclusively. TV here in the US has way too many reality...

I vote for Montgomerie too. He had an amazing career. Of the current players, I pick Fleetwood. I feel he will get one soon.

Thank you. Again I apologize if some see this as political. I understand why the monitors don't want politics discussed here. However, I don't want the world to think most of those of us in the colonies are OK with what the government is doing. We're coming up on the 250th birthday of our...

Thanks for all your replies. I have to say I prefer vodka in my tomato juice rather than beer. BTW another problem here in the US is we can't get Tennent's Lager.

Thanks IamM I apologize if this is viewed as political. For me it’s right versus wrong. I have tremendous respect for all on this site and just want all to know my values.
