My friend is a medium (not that it has anything to do with this post, just cool as hell).  He is always teaching me about consperacy theries.  He doesnt play golf, and I think that is why this technique works so well, because he can look at it from the outside without thinking like a "golfer".

We were playing nine holes the other day and he litrally hit every putt that was inside 6 or 7 feet, 100%, and he did that every time we played.  I told him at the end of the round that he better tell me how he does it.  And basically, he taught me, and now I drano every one.

He said the hard part about putting was you take your eye or the target to hit the ball.  When he is about to hit a putt shot he focuses his right eye on the ball and his left eye on the hole. It sounds impossible but he shown me how he did it.  First you focus on something real close to your face to cross your eyes, he uses a pinky finger bone from an ancient 100,000 year old man, but you can use a straw or whatever else.  I usually use a packet of catsup or a packet of tarter sauce if it was fish day.  After he crosses his eyes he leaves the right on on the ball, then he can move his left one independently toward the hole.

I just use it for golf but he uses it for all kinds of other stuff.  When he is paying for fast food, he keeps one eye on the money he is counting and the other on the cashier.  He also does it with his wife when they are using cialis, he keeps one eye on her face and the other on a stop watch to know when to be done.

Anyway, give it shot!

I need to meet this guy because I am terrible at putting. So you would say he is of medium height?

Give it a shot on greens with some break and speed and see how you go.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

No no, I think he meant size medium, like shirts. Or maybe pants?

What if it was taco Tuesday? Would a little cup of salsa work instead of the ketchup or tartar sauce? And if so, can it be mild or hot, or does it have to be medium? I also sometimes fancy the green salsa .., will that work too or only red?

I recently chained my putting grip so I drain short putts and occasionally a long putt. If not it's close enough to 2 putt. Changing my grip altered my stance over the ball and my stroke too, and now my ball rolls so much better. Recently, I was putting with one of my friends and he was like, "Damn, nice putt!" And, "Your ball seems to roll forever." We ended up having a putting contest. He asked how I was doing it and I showed him. He adopted my new way I learned and started sinking putts. I should've waited until after the contest, because we couldn't get a winner when we were both sinking putts. I had him 7 to 2 and we were going to 10 (least amount of putts wins the hole chosen).

Gilberg = the greatest.

Great tip about the eyes. I actually can do that with my nostrils when trying to smell two different smells at the same time, but not with my eyes. The key is to dab a line of vaseline on the line that separates them and that traps any molecules that could interfere with the nostrils working independently of each other. Unfortunately, it's not useful for golf, but it works great when trying to decide what to eat for lunch at a mall food court.

Oddly enough though, I do have a piece of big toe bone from an ancient man (carbon dated to only 30,000 years though ) and I tried to use that, but I think I scratched my cornea. It's actually not a total loss though because I was right eye dominant and now while it's healing, my left eye is getting much stronger. Ask your friend if this is normal progress for learning this.

Also, lastly, someone here needs to pat Wally on the head and explain to him what's going on.

"He is always teaching me about consperacy theries" " he uses a pinky finger bone from an ancient 100,000 year old man",  Perhaps I'm a bit of a cynic, but a few things here just don't seem too kosher..........let me ask you, does the ancient man travel with him to every course and is it possible you might be able to pass along his email address? I have a few questions for him.

    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
