Since Erik posted on the forum sometime back about Edel putters and the way you are fit for them, I have wanted to go get one. The thing is they aren't cheap. They aren't much more than an off-the-rac

Well, it took a little longer than I'd hoped, but the putter came today... ...and it's gorgeous: My only (very minor) regret is that I didn't get the "Edel" letters on the front

Thanks for the replies. I like the idea, but could never convince the wife to allow it Joezilla

She might buy into the idea if you tell her it's the last putter I'll ever have to buy, Honey.

I told my wife  " I am getting a new custom putter.  It won't be cheap, and normally I value your opinion but on golf equipment you simply cannot grasp the importance or value of this.    Golf is very important to me, and if you love me you'll understand why getting this putter is important to me.   In the long time over our marriage, the money spent on this putter is trivial, but my peace of mind should be worth something to you.    You may object, but I don't care.   Get over it.    Oh, and by the way, yes those pants do make you look fat ."

In my mind.

Out loud, I said " Pleeease?    Oh please, please, please may I spend a little of our hard earned money on this putter?   Oh, and by the way those pants look fantastic!   Have you lost weight?"

I really like my new putter.

Absolutely fantastic! You had me going. I'm all ... "Wow, he's playing the 'if you love me' card. That takes balls!" Kudos.

Congrats on the Edel putter!  Looks great.  I've had mine for almost four years now, and it has been well worth the money.

Sorry for the blurry picture.

During my fitting process, I was getting a whole new arsenal of clubs, and replacing my putter was at the bottom of list.  I have always considered myself a great putter, and when I saw how off my aim was on my 2ball I was excited to get the putter until I heard the price.  Then after the lovely folks at Totally Driven had me putt 10 8 footers which both putters I drained 9 with the Edel and it has been a match made in heaven ever since.

Tristan, make sure you give it a few rounds to get used to the feel of the new club.  I remember my first few rounds being a little shaky getting the feel of switching from such a light putter to the Edel.  After about 4 rounds and multiple practice sessions everything started clicking.

ENJOY

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
