Hi Bartly. You are lucky to be able to have good golfing companions in your 'hood.

For a while, I putted very consistently with the straight left wrist - more of a left arm putt. Now, I have moved my focus to the right forearm staying on plane or tracing the plane line, since my left wrist now stays straight/flat. By adding the right forearm, the ball rolls with more authority towards the hole and holds its line better.

I’m not an expert – just sharing my experience.


Jerry says you are a decent human being which is the highest praise.

For me, I combine the zero hold with an elbow push. Yesterday, I played a round with our former club champion and club pro. They commented on how my putting and all around game was so much better than they can remember. After several putts, their response was "solid."

Sadly, the shanks appeared out of nowhere and forced me to chip with my 5 wood just to survive. I went from 4 over after 7 holes to 10 over after 9 holes. Anyway, putting was my safe zone, and I snaked putts in from as far as 30 feet away.

Welcome! Daryl, will be sending you a case of umbrellas for official LBG boat drinks and the decoder ring.
