Just had to post this..... I posted a thread about three weeks ago stating that my putting was in deep doodoo. A fellow member of the Sand Trap took the time to send me a lengthy letter complete with putting lesson. He has asked me to keep his alias a secret and I will resect that request. I printed his lesson out, spent two hours a day on the practice green and my PPR has dropped from the hi 30's to the hi 20's. That's 10 strokes per round!!!!!! My friends want to know who this genius is but of course I'm sworn to secrecy. Just wanted to let you know how valuable this forum can be.

Would said genius object to the reproduction of said letter (or at least said putting drills) openly here in said forum? Sans name of course.

The rest of us high-30s putters would also be much obliged!

Hi All, Well, I've checked with my source and he would rather i didn't publish his lesson. I guess he just took pity on me. Sorry guys.

Since you live in Virginia and I'm in Ca. I guess you won't have to worry about playing me.

    • I love Rancho Park too!  I don't get out there much due to the 405 issues (Im in Santa Clarita) but I do try and get out there every now and then...last time out was in January where I eagled 17 (left green) with a holed 145 yard third shot ! Rancho is a great course! And at 24 bucks weekday with the city card, an absolute steal!        
    • I have played PGA West, at least one or two courses in there, but I am not sure if I've played any of the courses used to host the Hope. I played a course that I think both isn't PGA West and is host to the Hope a few years ago, possibly at a TST outing, but I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the right one. I have played Rancho Park plenty of times (exactly half of my sub-80 rounds were there!) and Wilson/Harding.  Rancho Park might be my favorite golf course among those I've played more than a half dozen times.   Hopefully I'll get a chance to play TPC Scottsdale, maybe this August or September, and at some point I think there was a PGA Tour event in Las Vegas, I should get up there and play those course(s).
