I was HORRRRRIBLE at putting for so long and a friend gave me his old chest odessy putter to try out for a while.

And I have been using it for about 1 month now 3x a week and I must say it is AWESOME!!!!!

I use 3 fingers to hold it into my chest and with my right hand I hold it down with another 3 fingers.

Any other tips or tricks with this type of a putter?

Thanks

I don't use a chest putter, but I just recently shifted to a belly putter, and I couldn't be happier

Here's what I play:

I was never a bad putter but not really great either. When having to lag a long putt I found myself constantly leaving 3 footers left for par. I recently converted a callway i trax into a 38.5 inch belly putter (I'm short) and now I just don't miss 3 footers anymore. The belly really works, its amazing.

I used one on and off for a couple of years. I also tried the belly but I hated it. I found that my short putts improved but the longer putts got worse. All in all it didn't really help my putting stats (did not hurt them either). I finally went to a short putter and the claw grip and haven't looked back.

      Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.

      Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property.

      Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
