Putting Woes

I have 3 rounds under my belt so far this season and my putting is KILLING me!!

Check out my putts per hole stats and you'll see what I mean.






It just isn't very pretty.  The maddening thing is that putting is one of the few things that we can work on over the cold winter months, but oh no, not me :-(

So now I have to buckle down and try to get my stroke back before my index creeps back up and I lose all of the progress that I made last summer. They say that it is always best to start at the beginning and for putting that means grip, posture and alignment.  I found a series of great videos dealing with the grip, alignment and reading breaks over at ehow.com - check them out here.

Now that I have something to go and work on, I should really decide which putter is going to be my gamer for the year.  Those who know me know that I LOVE my putter.  I have blades, mallets, short putters, belly putters and even a broom putter.  It is a little too early on in the process to commit to a decision now, but since I have the Taylor Made Rossa Monza Spider putter in three different lengths, I will definitely start there.

I have another round scheduled at The Marshes this coming Saturday and if I hope to break 90 again, the putter is going to have to cooperate.

Wish me luck and until next time, hit em straight, and may all you gimmies be for birdies!
