I’ve seen people use different approaches like clock systems etc. As a high handicapper, last year I practiced various distances within 100yards using one club (pw) and getting the feel. I found with multiple clubs there were too many variables. The key was practicing though to get the distances right though.

Within 40 yards, it depends on the height of the shot I want to hit.

You didn't list your index, but generally:

  • mid to higher handicappers tend to do better sticking with one wedge.
  • lower handicappers tend to score better using a variety of wedges.

      Issue With Finger Aiming on Short Putts

      Hmm... didn't know that. Good to know.

      Yes, please, because if you said it was 20" but should be 10", that's a 10" error, but if it was 2" and 1", that's a one-inch error. Which is why… there is a different process for shorter putts (inside of about 6-8'). You don't really use your fingers anymore there. I misspoke when I said that you use the low edge of the hole. That's the old way. In reality, you don't use your fingers at all inside of whatever your crossover point is. That's not what he was doing there, no. He was just trying to see the slopes and tilts, not actually measuring distances and holding up fingers. His fingers were on the green. :D

      This is the concept I wanted to be noticed. I can recheck the numbers to make them more accurate.  The closer you get to the hole, the more the height of the player affect the reading of the putt and the system starts to diverge from reality. Aiming to the low part of the hole in short putts is a way to patch the method so that it gets closer to reality. Only using it at ball heigth, as camilo villegas used to read lines, is going to give you the exact distance away from the hole to aim at.

      I stepped off 10' from a wall electrical outlet this morning when I read it and held up two AimPoint fingers at about stimp 10… and got a little over 8" (because I was 10' and not 9').
