My dad introduced me to golf in 1982 and gave me during that summer his “old” Wilson Staff RM Mid size irons set with a brand new Ping Zing putter. He was already playing with one & he was playing excellent golf at 9 of handicap. I played all my junior years with these clubs and they were amazing! feel and playability at it’s best. Life was good. One day, late 80’s , someone stole my dad’s bag while on vacation out of town, he lost his beloved ping zing putter. My putter went directly in his new bag, it was the right thing to do for my hero. He played with it all his life , till the day he past away tragically from an hart attack in 2009, just a week before his 70th birthday. In his honour, I’ve been playing back with the putter since his passing away. This week, I found on a used golf club site in the region where he vacationed, an old Ping zing putter, in excellent condition with the original grip. Looking at the images of the putter, with tears in my eyes , I bought it, emotionally thinking of my dad and all the great years we had together. A little peace of him in coming back home next week, I can’t wait to go back on the practice green in his honour … life is good is good again

Good job... 

A good Putter has nothing to do with the Price Tag. 

Someone who putts well should know that. Hand them just about any putter and they will always be a good putter.

About 5 years ago I bought a Brass Master when I was in a golf shop in Sebastian, Fl. It was old but the shop owner put a nice Tacki Mac rubber grip on it. I putted great with it. But being a fool and thinking the grass was greener with another putter I put it in the mothball arsenal of clubs of which I have plenty. This year  I put a nice green carpet in my office and bought a putting return machine. I have found myself making a morning routine of putting for 5-10 minutes everyday. My putting has gotten much better. 

I  brought out all the formerly benched putters from my garage and tried them all at my new practice facility. Well as you can guess the old Brass Master has found its way back into the starting lineup. It really has a nice soft feel and as others have said here lets you know when you are getting off center on your putts.

      the rules have changed, but this would fall under 11.2 in the current rules.  General Penalty to any player who deliberately deflects a ball in motion, and you must replay the putt.

      Day 250 4-29 Getting chest through with speed on downswing and wrist arch. Also worked on some moving the pelvis slightly away in the backswing. Feel like im going too fast and long, looks like it on the recordings too.

      Interesting that it's no penalty, but then again, I can't imagine someone would purposefully put their foot out there in this situation or one like it.  And then there was the time someone purposefully deflected his own ball during a major, but that's very different too. The only time I can recall a ball I hit hitting another player or their equipment was ages ago -- over a decade and a half ago.  I had a 3' putt for an 89 and someone (a random pairing, not someone I knew) decided it was a good time for goaltending practice.  That wouldn't fall under this rule, though (and it wasn't in a tournament anyway). Thanks for continuing to share these, Dave!  I always find these interesting.

      Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice.

      Day 21, April 29.  Before going to work this morning, I worked in my indoor practice room for 20 minutes.   This was entirely 6-iron shots with the usual step.  Video yesterday showed me that I'm still straightening my trail leg too much (leading to the backswing length issue I've been working to fix), so I focused on not doing that in my rehearsal swings.
