Putting aim - or lack of it

  What hope do I have when this what happens, constantly, when trying to putt.  Goes nowhere near the direction of aim.

  It is called a huge misding on a longer scale, therefore more unforgiving, of the most unforgiving putter in the game. Went exactly where I thought it would have TBH with that click.

  Wow... LOL Yeah, he missed the ding pretty badly but still that's outrageous.

  So Mike, I think WGT is sending you a clear message right there :

  "Buy yourself a better putter or suffer." LOL

  You pushed that putt way off line by missing the ding that late. On top of that, you can't tell anything about the first 1/3 of that putt from that video. My guess is the early break goes right and you magnified it by missing late.

  With the aim that you chose you should have missed on the other side of the ding.

  Yup, take note Mike, if you play any shot where you are looking back towards your player, missing the ding left steers the ball right and vice versa.

  Surprisingly enough, some people have a hard time understanding it.  

  Whenever I watch my wife backing up her car, I can't help but facepalm.

  OMG, add the senior moment into the mix and that initial view off the tee supercedes the real view and you hit accordingly.  :-D
