Place a CD or DVD on the floor, shinny side up. Place the ball in the center and take your putting stance. You should be able to see into the cd where your eyes are. Align your eyes over the ball, this will give you the distance of how close you need to be for the ball to be over your eyes and center of your stance. I personally align the ball over my left eye so when I turn my head I see the putter line better. Place the putter level behind the ball and take note of how close and the position of the handle related to you stance. Take your putting grip and take note of your wrists. My left wrist is cupped and my right is straight , so when I take my putt my left wrist feels like it's pointing at my line during the whole stroke, and my wrists don't break so I know I'm using my shoulders correctly.

Brilliant! Thank you so much! I really appreciate it, and thanks for explaining it so well.

I voted "chipping net," but my net is actually a empty 5-gallon paint bucket. When I've scratched a ball on the course it ends-up in my bucket, and I use that to practice. I'll dump the whole thing (it's getting heavier every season) and then move the bucket ~20 yards away and chip and chip and chip... No wonder my short game has been bankable the past few years!

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
