Two things in response to the thread:

1. I once left my putter at the house by mistake.  Anything 10 ft. and in, I bladed a SW.  Anything outside of 10 ft or so, I used my driver from the chest like a long putter and was surprisingly decent.

2. I once "lost" a putter during a round.  My buddy had left his at the house in his office and I had an Odyssey White Hot #7 in my truck, so I gave it him to use for the round.  Long story short, my buddy gets really pi$$ed when he's playing poorly and was putting horribly all day.

Around the 12th or 13th hole, he missed another short putt and sent my putter flying.  Ultimately, it got stuck in a tree.  Myself and our other two friends are laughing at him pretty good.  So he goes to the cart for his wedge and tosses it up a couple times until he finally knocks my putter loose and down to the ground.

But on the toss that knocked my putter down, his wedge gets stuck in the tree.  By this points, we're all belly laughing.  So not wanting to get another club stuck in the tree, my buddy grabs a rock to toss up at his wedge to knock it loose.  Three or four attempts in, the rock comes down landing squarely on the shaft of my putter a couple inches below the grip -- snapped it clean.  In the midst of our laughter, no one bothered to pick up the borrowed putter that was initially stuck in the tree.

At that point, we all just left and went onto the final few holes.  My buddy lost his Clevelend CG wedge and I lost a putter.  Techincally, I still have it, but haven't replaced the shaft.  It was worth the laughs though.

If only you hadn't been laughing so hard, you'd have noticed the unicorns. They were waiting to fly your group over the rainbow. You could have used some of the leprechaun gold to buy new putters in the proshop.

    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death. 
    • Looking to play in the Severna Park Golf league and it got rained out the first three weeks. I know the course is being renovated so it is not in great shape but the location is easy for me and I would love to meet some other golfers in my area. Anyone here in Maryland Annapolis area? 
    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.
