I had The Golf Fix on last night and noticed a tip that I tried out at lunch today. The host (what's his name) was using a hanger to help align the putter so that the angle of the shaft was the same angle as the arm (couldn't think of a better way to describe it). I didn't use a hanger, but I did set up that way and hit a few dozen putts of various lengths and it felt like the putter head was going back and through so nicely and my ball was coming off the putter head dead on line. It felt like there was no use of muscles in my forearms, etc. I was parking 30-40' putts to within a few feet and holed many putts inside of 10'.

If I ever complain about pour putting, someone smack me upside the head and point me to this post.

i agree i tried this as well and seemed to help start the putt on line better. i also tried the other tip he suggested about tempo. you just simply put a coin in the cavity of your putter and the goal is to swing back and through with out the coin falling out of the cavity. if you have trouble putting consistently try this drill. all though if you use a two ball putter or something like that. that doesn't have a cavity on it i think your SOL.

I do have a cavity, but I think I need to see my dentist about it.

j/k. I haven't tried that, but I think my tempo is pretty good with the putter.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By iacas · Posted

      Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.

      Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
