Aimpoint at Bearsted golf club

I'm not sure I've got enough fingers for some of the slopes on our greens....

I've gone ahead and booking a 121 session so will report back my thoughts if people are interested.

Just for the record... I'm not a bad putter, but a single putt is rare for me and getting it past the hole without being 7ft past is an issue, with a 3 putt probably creeping in once a round.

It's something I want to get better at when you get to my age there is much you want for a birthday, so self improvement is the next step

Sounds like you just don’t hit it close enough then to start with…..

Ha ha exactly... Not a great putter? Just put it 3 feet and in with all approach shots. Easy isn't it ???

Statistically true though…….

Was taught it 4 years ago, use it every green, putting has improved significantly, from about a 7 handicap standard to a 1 or 2 handicap standard.

It works as well as you want it to, if you stand each side of the putt, say erm I dunno about a 2, then you've wasted your money. If you take the time to stay calibrated and continue to practice, it just gets better and better.

Helps massively if your practice green is similar to your actual greens.

Its not going to revolutionise putting on your home course, as you probably know the breaks subconsciously, but on away courses, it's gold.

My advice once your up and running, if you cant feel a slope, dont try and second guess, it's straight. Thats where I miss most, trying to find a break when there isn't one...

Had the aimpoint session yesterday morning... First thing to say is that the teacher James was extremely engaging and before I knew it we'd completed a 2hr 10 minute session.

The practical application of the knowledge is straight forward, but I can see how if you don't grasp the feel aspect with your feet then the class would feel very hard apply as you don't know what you're feeling.

Luckily I seemed to get it and I feel I have a lot I can use for practice in the future, plus it was useful that I met some pals in the afternoon of for 18 holes at Nizels and could put it to use with noticeable effect.

Really glad I took the plunge and would encourage others who are thinking about it to do the same.

I also did a 1-2-1 a few weeks ago and am glad I did
I do need to practise it a lot more (but I’ve been so busy I haven’t had much time to actually play golf much since and it’s true that I think it’s a waste of money if you don’t stay calibrated or can’t judge / feel it with your feet

It’s made me think a lot more about putting and my two putts are a lot more likely to be 1 putts than before.

If in doubt about how big a break is, overestimate it ??

Agree 100% with this
