There is just no pleasing some people.  Did they talk about chain saws too?

Ian Poulter Rants On Twitter About His Putting, Even After Lesson

By Cameron DaSilva

After missing a five-foot putt to force a playoff at the Turkish Airlines Open on Sunday, Ian Poulter was contacted by Greg Norman via Twitter (of course) about an "easy fix" to improve his putting. Poulter said he'd give the Shark a call, with the hopes of polishing up his game with the flat stick.

The two reportedly spoke on the phone on Tuesday night, but Poulter was reluctant to share the advice to the public. I guess we'll just have to wonder what was said, but it doesn't appear to have worked.

Poulter went on a mini Twitter rampage Thursday after posting a 3-over 75 in the first round of the DP World Tour Championship. The subject of that rant: his putting.

I think Ian needs to work on his long game more,

Last year he was 153rd in GIR %, 124th in Proximity, 98th in Scrambling, 92nd in Strokes Gained Putting

Seriously, he was just a bellow average PGA Tour player last year. He needs to get off the twitter and get practicing.

Ha ha. Poulter likes to use currency symbols to cover up his cussin'. Where's the pound symbol, huh?

About the same chances I'd be able to pull off one of his ensembles.

If he's smart, though, he'd get in touch with Dave and I. We'd help him more than a phone call with Greg Norman. :)

I thought I heard him say (or maybe I read in an interview) sometime in the last year that he had figured out some key to putting that he wasn't willing to share with anyone. (It was after he had sunk one of those long putts "from another zip code.")

Anyone else remember that?

hahahahaha, this is so awesome.

Also, there's a chance he may have seen it. I used to talk to Jon Jones back and forth via twitter...he was really cool about it, among other big time MMA fighters. It's clear Poulter doesn't have someone doing his tweets for him so....there's a chance.

Pretty sure I was blocked because of this…

No worries. The fact that I only saw that I was blocked by Ian Poulter today shows how much I care to check on that kind of thing.

Wow, touchy a bit there Poulter. I doubt that is the worst thing someone has said to him. Heck some people just don't like the truth.

      White Chili

      they’re hoping that someday all the other red chilis will stink so they can win. 😜

      The family went to a Chili Cook-off this past weekend. I realized something.  Every Chili Cook-off I've ever been to somebody brings a white chili.  That person never wins.  White Chili is fine. But if you are making it for a chili cook-off are you actually just conceding?

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      Well said.  Er, um... Well typed... 🤷‍♂️ This is what I suspect as well. I also didn't think about your point about impulse buys and the current hoopla. There are definitely a lot of folks talking about these right now. "The revealer" whether it actually proves anything or not, is clearly a great sales technique. I hear even hear the old folks at the range (am I one of those now?) talking about these. Words to the effect of "I really need to get a lie angle balance putter..." etc...

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By GolfLug ·

      I'm probably preaching to the choir with your background, but I'm sure most retailers worth their business salt will price it for some combination  of: delivered cost + current perceived market value + expected lower revenue for slow moving inventory + expected obsolescence. The 'market value' might be the largest component.  Retailers with low inventory build to order for long lead times have lower obsolescence recover cost added but it really hurts the impulsive buyer market, which is big when there is all this hoopla raging. The impulsive buyer also tends to pay more. I'm guessing that LAB wont make you wait unless you want custom tweaked stuff.

      By Ty_Webb ·

      Fair points - one thing I would note, speaking as a consumer, the base model here is already very expensive. There is a (fairly large) part of me that is much more willing to pay additional customization costs if it's going to work better when the underlying product is expensive. If I'm getting a $10 putter out of a bargain bin, I'm comfortable giving it a try and if it doesn't work, then whatever - no big deal. Spend $450 plus tax and it better be good. I'd rather have something for 560 that's spot on rather than something that's 450 and not what I need. I'd also go the extra mile and pick out some of the visual customization as well - different color, different alignment lines etc. I don't necessarily see that $110 as poor value when it's already a high end and expensive piece of equipment. I don't know whether that's me being what the market will bear or that it costs them that much more to make it, but I don't particularly care either way. At the end of the day it really is just about what the market (i.e. me) will bear.  I will also note that I don't have a LAB putter and while I am periodically tempted, I'm not going to get one until I can be sure I'm getting the one that's right for me. Short of going to Oregon, I'm not sure how that can happen either, so I will remain a spectator who occasionally pops to PGA Superstore to have a play around with one.
