In my office every day when I get bored


I practice in my garage. I work mostly on the 3' or less puts so where that shite is automatic. The only time I miss those now is when I just frick up and misread.

I dedicate 4-8 hrs per week on putting. Then I play about 3-5 rounds a week with 1-2 rounds being only 9 holes. I also practice pitching and sand work about 4-6 hrs a week.


After 15 years of practicing like this I am one of the best at my course with a 22 Handicap.

That just means you have zero hand eye coordination.

Sorry, bro.

WTF?

I am a 22 handicap. Bow down to me, I am your daddy in golf. Others wish they could be me. If you are lucky I will sell you my used golf clubs I change out yearly.

Have a decently playable second shot makes a ton of difference for me and most golfers. That first shot can save 1 or 3 extra shots by the green for that reason. But chipping and putting is where I focus most of my game. It's where a bad round can become a good round.


What's your take on hitting your tee ball OB?

Re-tee or go drop where it went OB?

Mulligans are always handy in that situation. Why take a penalty and ruin a good round?

How many per round?

At least you are re-teeing and not going to drop where it crossed OB (like a hazard)

Ummm... is 15 feet not automatic for y'all? I'd say I make 75% from that distance (assuming it's not some weird Augusta National type break or painfully slow)


PGA Tour 2015, Putts inside 15 ft:

Jason Day 80%
Jordan Speith 82%

Projecting your estimated conversion % (75%) to the total number of putts within 15 feet for Jason Day (148) in 2015, you would have only been 8 strokes behind due to putting from the FedEx Cup Champion.

When it's not a tourney and I want to keep pace, I play it like a hazard. I still take the penalty drop, but where it crossed instead of at the tee.

3-7 feet for sure. At one point in my life I had time to practice and play golf. I hit balls for 30 minutes and putted for as long as I could stand it. I'd practice putts up to 12 feet. The main thing I focused upon doing was keeping my eyes still. I'd focus on my aiming point and the ball then stroke it. Once the ball was well away I'd look to see if it went in. My handicap went from 15 to 6.
