I'm a lefty golfer and have always struggled with my putting game. Found out a few weeks ago I am a righty in my putting. Night and freakin day, how did this get past me all these years? I have consistently been hitting 100% better..... Wierd!

I had a friend of mine who was right eye dominant and is righty but b/c of this he likes to putt lefty so his lead eye is closest to the hole...i think it's weird lol to each his own

I've always wanted to get a lefty putter and test it out side by side. I've putted lefty at golf stores and, for whatever reason, I always revert to the Phil Mickelson style putting stroke...

I've been working a lot on setting the wrists, take-away etc. I'm a lefty. When I first started doing it I got that Mike Weir image from his pre-shot routine in my head. I'm over it now, I think. It did mess with me at first.

I hadn't though about that. It's really weird, I can't replicate his stroke righty, but I can do it perfectly lefty. If I ever have so extra money lying around, I'm going to go to Sports Authority and get a cheap lefty putter, just to try out on a green side by side with my putter.

This is actually really common. My step dad is a lefty but hits his irons as a righty yet still putts lefty and my mom is visa-versa hitting her irons lefty and putting righty. I also have a few friends who but the other way. I actually can putt both ways pretty mcuh the same.

      Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough.

      Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft.

      That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
