  i can see that would be a bear to demonstrate with the meter skippin, thanks.

  Useing the pointer and working the club 'both' is an absolute for me.  it's nice to see someone else play in real time like that.

  I picked up a few ideas for playing that course thanks. I'm finding that pulling the meter up to the correct yardage to be better as well,,more accurate and better rythm.

  Thanks:Jeff

  GlassMan27:

  I noticed on alot of your putts you both 'aimed' and missed the ding

  There are wide range of methods used when putting. I tried to demonstrate a couple of well known styles first 4 holes i tried to demonstrate the not aim method & miss on the side needed.

  5th to the 9th I used my method of putting aim & try to ding on the putt. This method I use reverse view look at  how much the putt is moving make the right adjustment for the line hit as close as I can or just take a small amount of & miss before or after the line a small amount.

  As you can see from the putts I am very aggressive with the speed I use I hit the same amount of speed for tournament greens - 5% at the most I hit hard to take a lot of the brake out of the putt , I don`t like to see putt`s losing speed late & dropping below the hole.

  Putting is a mental thing there are days you can not miss other days everything can drops in & when putts are not dropping in (you start to wonder & start shaking your head why are the not going in) practice a few different ways in practice rounds once you find a putting style you like from the above keep working on it practice round after practice round. & when it comes to ranked rounds or tournaments should see better results trust your lines & speeds from past practice rounds.

  Budda.

  You will notice with some shots , I don`t aim to much for wind on some holes& on others  aiming in the other direction the wind is going (a little bit for wind) on others.

  Easier to miss the DING earlier then late , I also hit the ball a little harder as you lose a little bit of distance hitting the ball early.

  This tip alone has helped my putting quite significantly..already more putts are making it to the hole and going in..at the very least the putts are up and about.

  Also seems to aid confidence when putting which is another big plus.

  Thanks Suncity,most appreciated.

  Cheers nan :)

  Putting is the most important thing on the game , does not matter how close you hit it still haft to make the putt.

  Sun is spot on there about the putting. The worse part of my game is my approach shots to the green, most of the time 15 to whatever foot range...lol.(but I'm working on that). the best part of me game is Putting.  Just shot a 31 on Kia back9.. 13 putts with a total distance of 94.06...lol. I'm making those 20-30 footers, which makes a terrible round into a pretty good one.

  Cheers

  Other forums i use, these sort of posts are pegged at the top and never disappear.

  Why isn't this one of them?

  Thanks Suncity28 for showing your game, no tricks, no add ons, just effing good play.

  One favour:)...... Can you slow down the Utube videos. Your link to your 16 min video on the site you use is blocked by  Turkisk Telecom (You tube was blocked for 4 years:)).

  Thanks for the help to us players striving to hit your heights.

  Thank you for putting all the time in to share those videos. Noticed when putting you always took the flag out, does removing the flag effect the put?

  Great work thanks again.

  I just find sometimes depending on the brake of the putt the base of the flag stick can be in the way so i remove it one less thing to look at on the green.
