Today I went out and at the 1st green I noticed I didn't have a putter in the bag. I decided to putt with a 21 degree hybrid instead (Not one of the large headed ones, it's the same size as the G15 driving iron).

I played great golf and sunk some great putt's and missed a few stupid ones as well.

I shot a 86.
Front Nine 49 (13 over)
Back Nine 37 (1 over par!)

Anybody else forget their putter before?

The lack of a putter got you more focused on playing good golf perhaps. It is possible to putt better with a hybrid if you are more focused when putting.

once i did i just gave my self a two putt unless it was within 5 ft

Was thinking about doing that but I said it wouldn't be a real score.

It made me focus more on my wedge shots and chipping, if I didn't get it close I'd risk a 3 putt.

I played a course in cancun and rented clubs from the clubhouse. I chipped in on 1 and on the second green realized they'd given me a lefty putter. I played the 9 out with the back of a blade (karsten style) putter. Shot a 43 if memory serves. Even lagged a 50+ footer to about 8 inches.

LOL great story man, thats awesome! Maybe take the head off your putter and stick a hybrid head on there. Now that would be awesome!

when I'm practicing for some reason as a penalty to myself if I don't get on the green in regulation then I don't get to use my putter to putt... Unfortunately that means I end up putting with my wedge 10+ holes that round... But it helps me to work on concentrating on getting the GIR

but then your putting doesn't improve...

Even if you don't hit GIR you'll still have a chance of saving par. Doing it like that gets rid of that chance.

      Meh I don’t care anymore. I’ll have a new hybrid soon. One that is younger, with technology not from almost a decade ago, and isn’t full of baggage from hitting bad shots.

      Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°.

      Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.
