Snapped putter shaft

[JohnnyDee]

You're standing on the 1st green leaning nonchalantly on your putter as your PP putts. You're thinking about your line etc. just waiting your turn to putt...when...

Suddenly the putter shaft gives way and you stumble sideways. It might be too many pies or might be metal fatigue, but either way your short stick is banjaxed for the rest of the round. So what are you going to use to putt with and still make a score?

Currently I'd be using the driver à la Adam Scott. I practice this from time to time and although it's not ideal it gives me a better result than trying to hit an iron along the ball's equator. Come next year though I'm in big trouble.

What Club are you going to use?

 

[Ethan]

Leading edge of the sand wedge for me.

 

[Lump]

60* wedge and belly it. Do it all the time when I can't be bothered to wonder back to my bag for my putter. Short range its just as good the putter

 

[mcbroon]

Leading edge of the sand wedge for me.

Yep, me too.

 

[Paperboy]

I have used a hybrid before, after I forgot I was playing the next day and got my putter re-gripped up the club.

 

[Bazep]

1 iron for me. At the moment, I'd probably putt it further than I'm hitting it off the tee.

 

[Face breaker]

Use your driver like a snooker cue !...

 

[ScienceBoy]

Hybrid works really well, I've used it a few times after a greenside hybrid chip.

 

[Slab]

Doesn't matter I wouldn't dream of continuing until I learn the etiquette of the game... leaning on your putter on a green is a strict no no

 

[Qwerty]

I think I'd NR then borrow a putter for the rest of the round. There's no way I'm making buffer without a putter.. Might as well try and enjoy the round.

 

[delc]

I would putt with the longest iron in my bag, currently a 5-iron.

 

[One Planer]

As per Ethan's post for me :thup:

52*, little chip and run, inspired by Mickelson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GOlNTPTfvU

Though I might get chased off the course by the greenkeeper before long.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Hybrid on longer ones and belly wedge on short ones

 

[dankiz]

4 hybrid for me
