Thanks for all the great advice guys. Have I been shown how to aim is a good question. The answer is "no!". Mostly I putt by instinct, and my instinct is usually good, I pick the line, pick a target closer to me as intermediate and align on that. But with my new putter and the new stroke...

I've done that, a 2 inch putt for birdie on a par 5. Strong winds that day, and I got blown over by a gust of wind as I struck the ball. My tap-in turned into a long putt back for par after I jabbed the ball 5 feet past the hole. Missed the par putt in another sudden gust and just made the bogey!

Yep, got it! I'll let you know how I do :)

Hi Bobmac, I'll try that this morning, teeing off at 8 but I'll be on the practice green at 7:30...I'll let you know how I get on. It could be the putter face alright - I picked up a new putter after my last lesson - the pro showed me where there was actually a slight twist in my cheapy old...

Hi guys, I'm playing really well at the moment, thanks to regular coaching and daily practice. My putting, which can be fab on some days, tended to be inconsistent, so my most recent coaching session was on putting. That's helped a lot with long putts, and I'm getting good consistency with...

I went the custom route with Taylormade Burners, and it suited me because I'm fairly tall. They're a very forgiving club. When I'm at the pro shop I always browse the second hand clubs and trade-ins. At this time of year the new 2012 clubs are coming in and some golfers will be trading up -...

We'll soon sort that out ;)

You got a deal, I'll look forward to that :) Re. Zen, i downloaded a book today on the mental game, Golf Sense, Practical Tips On How To Play Golf In The Zone. So far it's looking very promising... I can see me on the course now, clapping one hand and listening for the sound of non-falling...

I know what you mean. I think I just overdid it back then, played 7 days a weeks as I wasn't working at the time. Now I am working and it's really cutting into my golf time :) i came back to the game with more determination, this year anyway, and I'm probably still over-doing it - a day...

I use a putting drill that a pro taught me a couple of years ago, it gets the shoulders rocking nicely - Take your putting stance, grab your putter, place it across your chest, then put your arms over it so that the club is in your under-arms. Your arms will naturally fall into a perfect...

I stopped playing for a while...about a year and a half. I'm back playing about a year now, and back in training. I had no particular reason for stopping, just was on the 4th tee one day, smashed a drive straight down the fairway, started to walk to it then thought "gosh, that's a long way...

Does FYP mean "from your profile"? But yes, I am an enthusiastic woman in her 40s (I'm oh so grateful to you for pointing out my age, which I'm sure you know is something that a girl just loves!), but I have the body of a 20 year old (I keep it in a bin-liner under the bed :) ) And I'm playing...

Cheers Monty :) !!!

Hi Bladeplayer, I'm from Wexford, in the South-East. Won't mention the club, as I might get lynched :) We've got some great courses in this county, and some of the best in the country are nearby in Wicklow. Trouble is, although prices have gone down a lot, the really good clubs still charge...

Hi farneyman, Perhaps there is an age at which we all become annoying to young people - perhaps around the time we reach 30! Having said that, I'm absolutely certain that I annoy the hell out of these ladies too, because I "take golf too seriously" and apparently "i shouldn't do that" because...
