Well, he let me have his old Alladin putter after Walton Heath, just because he's a soft old git.
It's now official that he's my hero, and he's never getting this gorgeous bit of kit back ( although I'm not sure if I should have a thinner grip on it ).
I played nine holes this arvo around Wellshurst. The greens are the worst I've played this month, although the course is getting to look rather nice.
Boring bit coming up :
1st : 2 putts from 12 feet.
2nd : 2 putts from 24 feet. The first was bang on line, but underhit by 2'.
3rd : 2 putts from 15'. Stonked the first one 5' past. Slipped in the return putt POC.
4th : 2 putts from 18'. Dead on line, but underhit by 6 "
5th : 1 putt from 6'
6th : 1 putt from 3'
7th : 2 putts from 4'. Didn't hit it.
8th : 2 putts from 15'. Dead on line, underhit by 6"
9th : 1 putt from 2'.
That's 15 putts, with potentially another 3 less, once I can get the confidence to hit the damned thing.
The dribbly putt is something I've got in the habit of, because with my old putter, I often missed the one back. This beast doesn't miss the return putt - it's only when I put a bad stroke on it. I've just got to practise more now, and maybe sleep with it a few times to build up a 'proper' relationship.
Oh, and btw;
The answer is 'No, no way, not a prayer.'
If anyone thinks I should give it back.
It's mine now, and I'm keeping it.
PS Cheers Smiffy, it's brilliant
