my putting woes picked right back up where they left off last season. my biggest problem was starting the putter off on the correct line. i had immense trouble with this, but after trying out a friends scotty cameron detour i was sold. it feels like i have a legal putting aide on the course. however my speed and ball striking ability still suffered. after a 3 putt bogey on 8 i found myself messing around with different strokes on the green. i found myself using only my right hand during the stroke and simply leaving a dead left hand on the grip...almost like the face of my putter and my right palm were aligned and "pushing/rolling" the ball. i went on to make a birdie putt on 9 and never looked back. after 19 putts (ouch!) on the front, i had only 13 on the back. honestly, it's the first day i've felt really good about my stroke in over 10 years. just thought i would share my excitement and maybe this tip will help someone else out there.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      While I have practiced a decent amount in the past 6-7 weeks, once I figured I wouldn't maintain the rules of the challenge I stopped posting 😞  Anyway, I'm back and I think I'll be able to maintain!  Let's see. Day 1, 12/30/25.  10 balls with 6-iron, another 10 with a 9-iron, and a few chips with the UW and 54.  All off a mat, into a net, indoors, with real golf balls.  The will swing focus was on controlling the length of the backswing and doing so slowly.

      I feel like this captures where I am at. I guess the struggle for me is finding, understanding, internalizing, "the right concept". What I mean is it pisses me off thinking about all the time and money I wasted on instructors who were teaching based on bad ball flight concepts/understanding. Seeing the data/high speed video for ball flight is what convinces me how in error they were. While I think it is kind of cool to have lived through the birth and growth of competent data driven golf instruction, it is also kind of disheartening thinking about all the golfers killed or injured by incompetent instruction - which I feel is still an ongoing and concerning process.
