There is just no pleasing some people.  Did they talk about chain saws too?

Ian Poulter Rants On Twitter About His Putting, Even After Lesson

By Cameron DaSilva

After missing a five-foot putt to force a playoff at the Turkish Airlines Open on Sunday, Ian Poulter was contacted by Greg Norman via Twitter (of course) about an "easy fix" to improve his putting. Poulter said he'd give the Shark a call, with the hopes of polishing up his game with the flat stick.

The two reportedly spoke on the phone on Tuesday night, but Poulter was reluctant to share the advice to the public. I guess we'll just have to wonder what was said, but it doesn't appear to have worked.

Poulter went on a mini Twitter rampage Thursday after posting a 3-over 75 in the first round of the DP World Tour Championship. The subject of that rant: his putting.

I think Ian needs to work on his long game more,

Last year he was 153rd in GIR %, 124th in Proximity, 98th in Scrambling, 92nd in Strokes Gained Putting

Seriously, he was just a bellow average PGA Tour player last year. He needs to get off the twitter and get practicing.

Ha ha. Poulter likes to use currency symbols to cover up his cussin'. Where's the pound symbol, huh?

About the same chances I'd be able to pull off one of his ensembles.

If he's smart, though, he'd get in touch with Dave and I. We'd help him more than a phone call with Greg Norman. :)

I thought I heard him say (or maybe I read in an interview) sometime in the last year that he had figured out some key to putting that he wasn't willing to share with anyone. (It was after he had sunk one of those long putts "from another zip code.")

Anyone else remember that?

hahahahaha, this is so awesome.

Also, there's a chance he may have seen it. I used to talk to Jon Jones back and forth via twitter...he was really cool about it, among other big time MMA fighters. It's clear Poulter doesn't have someone doing his tweets for him so....there's a chance.

Pretty sure I was blocked because of this…

No worries. The fact that I only saw that I was blocked by Ian Poulter today shows how much I care to check on that kind of thing.

Wow, touchy a bit there Poulter. I doubt that is the worst thing someone has said to him. Heck some people just don't like the truth.

      Low Duck Hook Driver!

      By GolfLug ·

      Matt, the equation is simple from my perspective. Stronger the grip, greater the potential of application for twist torque at impact. And if it it is combined with an extreme outward path as you say, god help you. Not too many skilled players with super strong grips, are there? Sure, it's all about match-ups but the connection to super strong grips and duck hooks is common from what I see and have dealt with myself.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By Clemsonfan ·

      I have been a big follower of this technology ever since I saw Positive Putters display at a golf show in the Revealer they invented and patented. That would have been around 2000. It made sense to me that staying target line balanced was a better way of balancing.  Early models of these putters were often too flat for me and I struggled to hole more putts. I was fascinated by all of them - Positive Putters, the Railgun, the SeeMore blades and the Backstryke. I have tried the DF1, which was great for long putts, and currently use the DF3. I am still really good at long putts with the DF3 3, having made a 90’ putt and a 34’ putt in my last two rounds. My first round with the DF3 I only had 24 putts making almost 200’ of putts. I don’t quite use the putter the way they suggest- I don’t swing harder, and only a little longer, on longer putts. All my putts are at the same tempo, or strive to be. Therefore, I am swinging harder on longer putts. I do love putting with the DF 3 and I have become much better at putting through 50-60 mm gates at home, rarely hitting the sides.
