hi guys, Im new to the golf game and often 3 putt and its costing me!!! I am considering buying putting alignment mirror but Im not sure if it will actually help me? was hoping some of you experienced guys could give some advice? its only £18.59 so it wont break the bank but i'd rather not spend it if it wont help my game..

do you guys ever use one to practice your stroke?

this is one im looking at from onlinegolf http://www.onlinegolf.co.uk/product/Masters-Golf-Putting-Alignment-Mirror/p94226.aspx

Thanks everyone

Do it. They are absolutely one of the most helpful training aids out there and, as you point out, have the advantage of being cheap.

Paul Hurrion has some good drills you can use on YouTube. The first one is below and you'll see the rest in the sidebar.

Well ... the mirror is a nice tool, but research has brought some insights not to putt with your eyes directly above the ball, but at the back and about 1 inch inside the ball (Utley), but of course there will be many styles.

regardless, a putting mirror can help you achieve that and repeat that same eye position, whether you like your eyes on top of the ball, or behind and to the inside.

      Inside the F1 Gearbox

      For those of you who like F1 racing. I find this sort of thing fascinating from just the engineering aspect. I don't follow F1 that much, but I find it amazing the things we have created.

      Yea, if Patrick Reed never wins another tournament again I wouldn't mind that. He is the most unlikable golfer, maybe ever. Don't get me wrong, I grew up watching Wrestling. I am all for there being heels. Yea, he sucks, he is a cheater, he can lose all the tournaments he is in.  I agree with the others. I don't get the Scottie hate. He is a very likable guy. I have huge respect for his game. It's wouldn't mind seeing him end up with more majors than Rory, Phil, etc...

      2027 Ryder Cup

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Yea, that is a stupid question to ask. Also, let's say if you rank the two out of 100. What if the 83rd PGA tour win is like 99/100 and a Ryder Cup is 98/100. That doesn't diminish the Ryder Cup. It isn't an either or. Especially if you ask him which PGA Tour win. What if it is another major? What if it's another tour championship? Maybe another Memorial Tournament that has a super strong field?  You want to make this a simple black or white question, but it isn't. Maybe he would surprise you. You have no clue. Maybe Tiger actually regrets all those performances and outcomes in the Ryder Cup. He is a hyper competitive person who has an understanding of his legacy in golf. I am sure he knows the Ryder Cup record is a blemish on the GOAT performance he has.  So yea, you have no clue, no evidence, and sound just like a hater.

      Maybe because he spells Scotty with an “ie” instead of with a “y” like a real man?

      I have none except this - hook him up to a lie detector test and ask if he would rather have that 83rd tour win for solo first or another Ryder cup victory?
