The Problem Is......

[19th]

This 'Expert' forum is rather like a doctor's surgery - all problems waiting for a cure.

Well I have decided to report the cure, just to be different.

I have played for 40 plus years, still hit it up alongside the youngsters and enjoy all aspects of the sport.

Putting, however, has always been a problem, with everyone remarking on the problem (39 putts per round average) but never offering a cure.

Along came Bob V on here - what he said made sense to me - a wee alteration to suit me and hey presto! A cure!!

29/30 putts a round now and this I hope will be the norm as I get the 'feel' under control, changed stance/ball position and swing still feeling strange but any putt of circa 15 feet is now under threat of the big drop.

Good news on a Monday?? What is the world coming to!!

I'm glad your on the mend
Keep up with the medication and come and see me on Friday if the rash doesn't clear up.

It means that despite his advancing years, he can still hit it as long as the young guns...I guess

Ah, makes sense. I figured it was a drive-by battering with a 5 iron and a golf buggy?

This is indeed the case! I find it amazing that I can still hit the ball as far as I did when I was much younger and thank God for both my health and the improvement in golf equipment.

The disappointment of, however, hitting the green on a par five hole in two and ending up with a five, has always been with me due to my inability to putt with confidence.

This lack of confidence when taking the putter from the bag is now replaced with a positive feeling of 'this could drop' - pure magic!

I always think that, generally just before I go on to 3 putt

Have a wee word with Bob - he knows about these things!
