But i seriously need to get my putting in order. 6x 3 putts and 1x 4 putt just aint good enough. Best ive ever struck ball. But unfortunately due to poor putting i ended up with 108. Had i performed better with putter i could easily have been home much better score. 40% of your game putting if you're on in regulation. Got to be around 34 putts per game for a bogey golfer.

dummiesoot 16,003 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Been playing crap but played Cathcart castle last week, putting wasn't great but had 1 under for the back 9 including a great 4 on the 10th hole which is a brute. geneva_ger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't help your card if your not on target. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finished below my handicap with only 3 single putts so was striking the ball well. geneva_ger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its so so bad mate. What i need to do is find a few hours per week and go to clubhouse green and just solely practice my putting. My shortgame is really good just now and barely hit a duff shot now. My driving could do with improving aswel. geneva_ger 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewislaudrup 845 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I' ve really just started playing this year. And my putting is brutal, average around 3 strokes per green. After a couple lessons i'm happy with iron play. Bit frustrating that most my drives go right. But putting really pisses me off. Same as skelf need to get couple hours to just putt Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went up to a 10.5 and its miles better was using 9.5, as Geneva_ger said lessons help, I only started playing last year. Tried to battle through without lesson but eventually went for some.

Anything works for you guys or rather, you can make anything work. I've got an FT9 10.5 and a Legacy 9.5. Clubhead speed around 104 mph. Regular shafts. Straight as a die.

RFC RYAN 2,967 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Used to slice it right when I was younger was the way my feet were set up. Now it only goes right now when I block it so check your set up have the ball in the centre of you stance just to get more confident then move it 2 balls towards your left foot. I would say about 70% of my practice is putting helps to do it in the house as well on the carpet. Played tonight and was level par the back 9 so pretty solid think I was about 4 over for my round. lewislaudrup 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
