This would really get into my head. I'm that guy that is always singing some song in his head as he plays anyway.

I don't have audio at work, but I'm sure I understand the message. And I always putt from the fringe so long as the fringe isn't horribly inconsistent between my ball and the edge of the green (big sprouty weeds, etc.).

Some people look at me like I'm crazy if I'm 10+ ft into the fringe and I pull out my putter haha. Last time I did that I put it stupid close to the hole for a tap in :-P

Anecdotal! I need stats! 

:-)

100% of GolfDigest top 50 golf instructors named Hall or Haney tweeted it: 

 

I know those aren't the stats we want, but at least it gets us away from those pesky numbers.  So now we can deal with https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/appeal-to-authority :whistle:

I showed this to my wife, I hope she takes it to heart.  She can't chip worth a darn but she won't putt from just off the green very often.

You need smooth turf to make it work. I've tried to putt off of scruffy lies in spring or fall, only to have putts ricochet off a clump of grass and really end up in trouble. Like, an up-and-down try ends in a double bogie.

If the grass is short enough I am happy to putt from 10 yards off of the green, as invariably I will get nearer the pin than chipping the ball. I played against an 18 handicapper yesterday who is so scared of chipping he will happily putt from 50 yards off of the green. I would like to say he has mastered it, but he hasn't  

In my bag (Motocaddy Light)

Taylormade Burner driver, Taylormade 4 wood, 3 x Ping Karsten Hybrids, 6-SW Ping Karsten irons with reg flex graphite shafts. Odyssey putter, 20 Bridgestone e6 balls, 2 water balls for the 5th hole, loads of tees, 2 golf gloves, a couple of hand warmers, cleaning towel, 5 ball markers, 2 pitch mark repairers, some aspirin, 3 hats, set of waterproofs, an umbrella, a pair of gaiters, 2 pairs of glasses. Christ, it's amazing I can pick the bloody thing up !!

2 handicap here. PUTT IT !

From the tee think driver then adjust down. Around the green think putter then adjust up.

I like this.  Think putter first and then adjust..

For me, it depends on the lie. Sometimes I'm more comfortable chipping on the collars if there is bumpy turf or grass in front of the ball. I feel like i can get a more predictable roll with a chip onto the green rather than having to deal with something weird happening in the collar. But that video brought the lulz.

I like "can't win with par you need a birdie, you need to putt it!"  I always think it's nuts when someone, on TV or in my group, decides to chip because they're "trying to make it."

      This Putting Product Actually Seems Like it May Have Some Value.

      By snapfade ·

      I always get adds for "Find your Eastern European Soulmate" I think it's a nifty gadget to have at home. If your going to do a dedicated putting session I could see setting it up. Thanks for sharing.

      Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By billchao ·

      It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
