    Putting - No Practice Swing?

    I practice swing on putts but more to get a feel for the strength of the putt.

    Putting - No Practice Swing?

    I think a bigger danger is over thinking when putting. I'm convinced this is what is messing with Rory McIlroy's head. That missed eagle putt :confused: He fussed and flapped, then tried to tickle it into the hole. Who tries to work out the break on a two footer. Aim straight and just firm...

    The Open 2023

    Anyone else think some of the camera work was diabolic. Mainly on putts. Quite often they'ed go from a perfectly good angle, showing the man taking the putt and the hole, then they'ed switch the camera to a low angle shot where you had no idea where the bloody hole was. While having a moan - I...

    PGA Championship

    Getting putts is similar to getting doubles at darts. If you can't finish you can't win.

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    I played 9 holes on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Two different courses. I had a nightmare trying to get the tees in the ground. I even broke the end of a heavy duty penknife trying to break through. What do other guys do in this situation?

    Odyssey face insert repair

    Had it happen twice with mine. Semi fixed by my local pro both times. Got rid after the second time and bought an Evnroll with a proper etched out face.

    The ‘In the hole’ moron

    Same mentality as those who think it'll impress people if they do wheel spins driving out of the pub car park.

    Yup, really disgraceful.

    2022 Professional golf thread

    Dull is good. Warning - Rant coming. Anything is better than Dougherty, who thinks it's his show, and the golf is just something in the background. Wish they had a red button to change to a different commentary. My mute logo covers the bottom of the screen. I'm sure he thinks he's getting paid...

    Yes, Rory's military style tee shots are driving me bonkers. Left, left, left right left. Agh. :(

    Evnroll Putters

    Another long term Evnroll user and fan here. There were plenty of testing with robots etc. demonstrating the effectiveness of the groove technology. I'm sure there must be some stuff on YouTube. I've got the ER2 and was lucky enough to find one with a 385gm head which suits me perfectly. I...

    YouTubers.

    Retired for a while now so watch a lot of YT Stopped watching Golfmates due to him being an *** and his annoying habit of asking OMP a question and then answering for him, every bloody time. NOt likely, but if OMP had his own channel I'd give that a watch. James Robinson just shouts at you...

    Arcos grip sensors

    My brand new set of Ping G425 irons don't have Arccos in the grips. Quite interesting really, as when I ordered them (May. Got them three months later) I asked if I had to have Arccos in them as I knew I'd never use them. I was told they all come with Arccos anyway and you can't opt out. AG...

    Red tees longer than yellows

    A few on one of the courses I use. However, they are Par 5 on these holes, where the yellow tees are Par 4.

    2021 Professional Golf Thread

    What did I miss yesterday? I turned on the golf to see Rahm, on -13, lining up for an Eagle attempt. He gets the Eagle to much applause and praise. . . Yet his score only goes to -14 :unsure: Were there errors with the scoring?
