No doubt you have seen and talked about this.

I just wanted to know what people's thought are on Sergio putting two putters in his bag.

I think > go for it! ive always been a firm believer in using whatever works.

I personally also feel that its a 'bandaid solution' to his putting issues.

Can the average Tour Player afford to take an iron out of his bag?
(even though he probably needs it)

just your thoughts guys............

Good results for today. Band-aid, sure, but it'll hold him over while he works out whatever issues have him.

As for can they afford to take an iron out of the bag? Some of them already do . Jim Furyk, I believe, has his 5-iron a bit strong and 3-iron a bit weak and no 4-iron in order to carry an extra wedge. I doubt he's the only one.

So much for the do all magical belly putter.

I'm all for using whatever works too but the problem is I'd hardly call any putter Sergio has used as working. At best this is a bandaid but I don't even know about that. Pretty soon he's going to start getting so screwed up on the greens it'll start affecting his iron play.

I actually think Sergio is good enough to leave out one of his irons... God knows he needed to do something. Someone else did this for one tourney last year, but I can't remember who... maybe Calc or Funk Still, I will believe this is a solution when I see Sergio putt well in a major on Sunday, which would make for good TV.

Is he using two putters today?

Laws of golf :
LAW 3: Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic. Though this cannot be proven in the lab, it is a known fact that the more expensive the golf ball, the greater its attraction to water.

LAW 8: Topping a 3-iron is the most painful torture known to man.

4 birdies and an eagle thru 10 - 2 up on Boo - if he is using 2 putters, maybe he should keep using 2!

i have thought about doing this for awhile. i putt really well with my 2 ball from distances but seem to prefer the look of a traditional anser 2 style for putts within 15 feet. I have been go back and forth for awhile and might try that next time im out. I carry 13 in my bag right now so I have room. I'll see if this will help at all.

Looks like Sergio "No Majors" Garcia could carry 4 putters and he still won't win. I am always happy to see him lose, but having it be to Boo made it all the more sweet. After the scorecard incident last year you could tell there was bad blood there. Boo didn't hide it too well that he didn't like the guy.

you have to love Boo... him and Gainey should do a publicity tour together. I hope Boo keeps his game for some time because he definately adds a little something to the tour, and he's a Cleveland guy. Even though I no longer have Cleveland irons, I still like the brand. Anyway, he's down against Woody right now, but only through 6 or so.

How unpleasant.
By the way, has Boo ever been in contention up the 72nd in a major?

    • First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.
    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
