Guys,

Does anyone have any recommendations for Short Game lessons in NJ ? I would like to concentrate more on Putting...i am sick and tired of 3 putting. Infact, i dont even know what the hell i am doing when it comes to putting anymore :(

I live in Bergen County and can only do weekends.

Just noticed this thread and even though it's years old but thought I might add something. I also live in Bergen county but I think I'd be inclined to go to GolfTec versus driving all that way out to Crystal Springs. There's one in Englewood and Paramus.

On another note, have you tried reading Stan Utley's book on putting? It's a great book with a very simple and repeatable technique. The key to consistent putting is distance control and practice. His method is very natural and feel based. I'd give it a shot and it only costs like $10 or so.

Driver: Callaway RAZR Hawk 10.5°
3W: Callaway RAZR Hawk 15°
3I Hybrid: TaylorMade Burner 19°
Irons: MP-58 4 - PW, Project X Rifle 6.0
Wedges: Eidolon Chrome Finish 51° and 55° CG10 60 low bounce

Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Mid Slant

Ball: TaylorMade Penta

    • Day 22: mirror work for a while. Working on my elbow in the downswing - keeping it in a better position. 
    • Day 36 (16 Dec 25) - continued the exaggerated left foot weight shift trigger adding some easy low flighted pitches with the 5h and a few putting style bump and runs with the 5h as well.
    • Day 442 - 2025-12-16 Got some swings in at an indoor academy a little south of Erie.
    • Has anyone played the new Maxfli forged irons? For the first time in I don't know how many years, they have come out with new clubs. From what I read, Maxfli was bought by Taylor Made a long time ago which then took all of their ball making technology and patents in order to get into that market. The club business was left to whither and the reorganized company, now a part of Dicks / Golfworks / Maltby, is producing these new clubs. (Their Tour X balls which I play are really good.) Anyway, I tried them both out at Golf Galaxy. There's a player's distance iron (XC-3) and a blade (XC-2) and both feel really, really nice, almost "Mizuno-like" in their soft buttery feel and they're a bargain at $800 for a set. I'm planning to ditch my Titleist's and want to go back to a forged iron. I almost pulled the trigger on the Mizuno Pro-245's last summer, but a damaged tendon sheath in my finger combined with a back injury messed up my golf game so I held off. Now the Pro-245's are no longer available, soon to be replaced by the MX-15. (At twice the price of the Maxfli's...that's what got my attention in the first place.) If anyone has played with the new Maxfli's or just tried them out like I did, let me know what you think.
    • Day 126 12-16 Back swing and rotation work today. Didn't hit any balls. Focusing on rotating and getting to lead side.
