Ok, so I need some advice on whether to go for a nicer new putter that I really like and can get for a darn good price, [Cleavland Classic Putter #2 $70] or to go for an oversize I also need. I mean, I will eventually get both, but I want to know what to get first. I have a very hard time getting off the tee box without a driver, and that is one of my main flaws, not having one at all. But I realllllly like this putter and feel like it would make me more confident around the green, I putt it well, my other putter is short and garbage, etc. I'm rambling....

Simple and not so simple question: Driver or Putter?

Thanks :)

You have to get to the green in order to use that putter. If you can putt well with the one you have now, get a driver.

Just like kpaulhus said ... you have to pick the lesser of 2 evils.

Can you still putt OK with your current putter?

You say you can't get off the tee box with your current driver, so if you can still putt OK I would agree & say get the driver.

You already have a putter, you DON'T have a driver.......Figure it out.

    • My rule of thumb is a PW for everything from 100 yards in except specialty shots like a flop or a low runner.  I find it easier to eyeball it for distance and swing on feel for the distance I need to hit
    • Day 3: Worked on putting at different distances focusing on matching the backswing and follow-through lengths.

    • Circumstances led me to being off golf for almost a year.  Finally played a tournament two weeks ago, without touching the clubs and having to use my old set which had been passed down to dad.  Shot in the 90's with multiple bad holes.  Another tournament today and decided to play.  Much better round.  3 triples, 7 bogeys and 8 pars.  Two of those triples were courtesy of an OB and one was thanks to bad shots.  But overall much happier than 2 weeks ago.  Even managed to get runner-up in open stableford.  If those three triples had all been bogeys would even have been in contention for the open
