I’m conscious that in the last few posts the emphasis seems to have been on Driving. There’s no doubt that dispatching a long straight Drive is a very satisfying feeling, but for me, perhaps more so - is the long Putt. I mean the type of putt where you’re at the edge of the green and you’re only ambition is to two, putt it.

For me Putting has been the “best”, part of my game. I guess it’s a more natural stroke and one you can get comfortable with more quickly. In fact, once I’m on the green I can be competitive with mid-handicappers, and I’m not embarrassed. Having said this, like all good golfers, I’ve blamed poor putting on the club, and I now find I’m on my third choice already.

Once again I did a lot of research and the Putter I found that would probably best suit my game, where it was at, was the Odyssey Two Ball Putter. This Putter has the two-ball, alignment system, and if the hype was to be believed, missing putts anything under 6ft, was a thing of the past. While this of course hasn’t been the case, I’m more than happy with my choice and will be sticking with it for the foreseeable future. From a purely aesthetic point of view I love the look of Scotty Cameron Putters, but never having actually used one, I don’t know if this is style over form.

On a more general note, the last week hasn’t been very inspiring and I feel I’ve taken a step back. I think I’m over-playing and this has been counter productive. Golf as I’m beginning to realise, can’t be forced and there are no short cuts to improvement. So next week I’m going to chill out, take a breather and come back refreshed, with this week a distant memory.

You know it’s been a bad week when the highlight is finding a Titleist Pro VI in your bucket of range balls!
