In my humble opinion BM, I think it would be a good move to acquire a better putter. There are plenty available to you at your level which have better meter increments than the starter putter.
Ultimately this was the plan all along, but I was hoping to improve at being able to read the greens as well. Tuesday I finally went ahead and picked up the level 70 Odessy, and pretty much immediately I started to see results. My very first round with it in the bag was a full 18 on the best of Par 3. I sank a 9.5 foot Bird on Whistler #10, a 14 foot Bird at St Andrews #8, a 2.1 foot Bird at Whistler #16, and a 13 foot Bird at Cabo Lucas #17. I had a 15 foot birdie attempt at Congressional #10 that just barely missed, a 17 foot birdie attempt at St George 16 lipped out because I hit it just a tic or two too hard, and I had par saves of 7.7 feet on Kiawah 17 and 15 feet on Olympic #3. So even though the round started out pretty well, I closed out with 3 straight 3 putts to finish with +1 or 2 IIRC. Once I have a better feel for avatar movements and distance control, and I start using GI-S or GI2-S to help control the meter, I really think I'm going to like this putter.
