Have you spent enough time on putting green practicing?
50 putts in a game doesn't look good.

A*f 发帖数: 3067 | 3 no, we carpool over, and the proshop assign the tee time 10 mins earlier
than we booked. I didnt get chance to practice on putting green.
you are right, that is very cruicial for a fast green course, which i only
play it second time.
I plan to putt on putting green for sure for my future round. it is too
important to fail.

v***s 发帖数: 4031 | 4 Getting better with your new putter? You probably have an easier time
getting the ball from tee to green, than making a 10 or 20 ft. putt. |

A*f 发帖数: 3067 | 5 still having hard time on the green.
had another round, 39 putts, one time, 6 3-putts in a row.
the strange thing is that when i practice on the range, i dont feel my
putting was that bad. but everytime on course, just couldnt find the groove
to hole it.
so far, my long game hold steady. say "probably have an easier time getting
the ball from tee to green" 有点吹牛,不过,从TEE到GREEN边 might be easier
for me than making a 10-20 ft.
I have hard time to judge the distance, sometimes long, sometimes short, f... 阅读全帖 |

v***s 发帖数: 4031 | 6 Six three putts in a row; either you putted under tremendous pressure in the
game or something wrong with your putting routine. I had two three putts on
the Saturday’s game, two birdie chances ending with two bogeys. Three putts
often happens to me on a green in regulation.

A*f 发帖数: 3067 | 7 no, it was actually very relaxing round.
too relax, i almost didnt realize i was doing bad. it is a very typical my
round recently. normally, i would see my playmates are struggling from tee
to green. and on the green, it is my pay-back time for them. in the end, we
are all even, and everyone was happy.
I checked the result again, for those 6 3-putts, half of them are GIR, and
half of them are those I was expecting save from up and down.
last last week, the round with 50 putts, i had 8 GIR, only... 阅读全帖 |

v***s 发帖数: 4031 | 8 Learned from the last year’s experience, as a weekend golfer, the more GIRs
I get, the more putts I will have, the more three putts I will get as well.
I usually don’t get many GIRs. Out of the last fours games, I had 5, 4(9
holes), 6 and 5(9 holes) GIRs, respectively, ending with 7, 7, 7 and 4 pars
or better, respectively. More than 50% of the pars or birdies came from the
effects of chipping close and one putting. While 2/5, 0/4, 3/6 and 2/5 GIRs
ended with bogey. Seems missing more greens wou... 阅读全帖 |

A*f 发帖数: 3067 | 9 that is very true!
even for Tiger.
look at his last tournament.
the first day, he drove the ball well, and 17 out 18 for GIR, and 35 putts.
the last day, he drove 2 out 14 on fairway, but walk away with 24 putts.
I think recover and save from up and down is an indication of good player,
while, striking the ball good or making GIR might not be the key indication
especially for weekend golfers.

u*********r 发帖数: 2735 | 10 Sergio Garcia once explained why he had more putts when he made more GIR
than
the other guys that make less GIR. He said that was because he had to putt
further away from the hole and some time from wrong side of holes. I belive
that is totally true.
2 putts from any place on a difficult green, that's a standard for
competitive
golfer.

v*****r 发帖数: 2325 | 11 when you practice on range, do you do 30ft plus putts on slopy green (
probably closer to what you encounter on course)?
on bridges practice green, good % of 2 putts from 30ft or above is not easy,
even practice, as i tried occassionally.

v***s 发帖数: 4031 | 12 I usually aim to hit the ball for a safe spot on the green if a shot
distance is between 135 and 200 yards. A good ball striking typically lands
the ball 20 ft or more to the hole, many times 30 or 40 or 50 ft away from
the hole. It’s a challenging for me to putt the ball 30 ft to within 4 ft
of the hole.
easy, |

A*f 发帖数: 3067 | 13 another weekend round was 38 putts, not very good. but almost the best round
with my new putter.
missed a 5-6 feet birdie. and another 40 yards pictching roll hit the flag
with 3 feet away, didnt close it.
still having problem on judging the distance with 3 3-putts, all of them
were started with long putts.

u******m 发帖数: 307 | 14 I don't remember where I read this tip but it works for my distance control. When you face a long putt, try to putt it while looking at the hole instead of looking at the ball. You can do all the alignment and reading as usual. Just look at the hole when you hit the ball. Your brain will tell your body how hard to putt in order to get that distance. |
|
v***s 发帖数: 4031 | 15 50, 39 and 38 putts. You are getting better and better on your putting. I
bet you will have 36 putts in your next game. It takes time to improve
putting speed control, especially for the long putts over 30 ft with breaks.

A*f 发帖数: 3067 | 16 yeah, really hope that is the case.
with my current play, if i can save 2-3 putts per round, i would be single
digit.
so looking forward to it. //kaka

u*********r 发帖数: 2735 | 17 is it old version? just noticed the weight is 10g in the picture |
|
A*f 发帖数: 3067 | 18 no, new version.
There are big changes between 2011 and 2012 model, i felt there are 2
totally different putters, just retain the same name. another one of those
changes is price change as well, from $299 to $349, you may find deals with
different price. But 2011 and 2012 model should have around $50 difference.
yes, mine is actually 15g. I didnt get chance to demo all the different
models, just settle with 15g to get the deal. |
