  1. Don't know how to send them. Would love to send them to Lexi, Paula, Stacey, Michelle, Rickie, etc.
  2. Is anyone here going to the PGA show in Orlando? I would love to meet you in person.
  3. Putting is soooo personal. With me, it can change day to day (and I am considered a good putter). I have a very heavy putter head (actually a cut-off belly putter that I just love). Some days I am more comfortable with left-hand low. That stroke tends to be very equal back/forward stroke and I stand rather tall. Other days, I do a modified "pool shooter" stance, right foot forward, standard grip with right index down the shaft, much more bent over. Both have my lead eye over the ball but inside about an inch. I find, for me, left-hand low on slower greens; modified "pool shooter" on quicker greens requiring more "feel'. Just saying.
  4. Is anyone attending the PGA Show in Orlando at the end of January? I will have a booth in the New Inventor Zone and a table in the New Product Zone. Hope to see you there.
  5. What's the best ball for you? The one YOU like the best.
  6. I try and keep it simple. Is my putter face square? Do I feel relaxed? Am I avoiding "grass lag"? When I practice, my first priority is distance. If I get the right distance from 20 feet, but my aim is off three feet I am better off that if my aim is good but my distance is 5 feet long or short. Of course I practice my aiming using a 3 reference point aiming method for putting.
  7. Hi, I am Richard Sweet, Founder of Precision Marker LLC. Several years back, Lexi Thompson lost a tournament because she mismarked her ball after lifting on the putting green. My wife said there should be a better way to mark your ball. We invented a marker that cradles the ball. When you lift the ball, no matter where you place the marker, it has to go back to the exact same location. No thought process needed. We then invented the Precision Trainer to help guys like me that might need help squaring their putter face, putting without grass lag, or learning to hit out of greenside bunkers. Both patented products, the Precision Marker and the Precision Trainer, are designed to provide 3 reference point aiming, shown to improve putting by as much as 18%. Think Callaway Triple Tract Technology; except I had it in 2018. Both have numerous uses, so simple yet so clever. I golf 1-3 times per week at my home course of Compass Pointe in Leland, NC. Like many, I know more about golf than I can execute. I walk with a cane. Due to short distance, I always look to get on a Par 4 in 3 and a Par 5 in 4. Then 2 putt. That's my game and I'm sticking with it. I have a great time. When I can't play golf anymore, I will have to take up knitting or something.
  8. To explain what is in my bag, I would have to start with who I am. I am a 72 year old man who has had major back and neck problems. I walk with a cane and have to play with a handicap flag. (Pain in the ass for an old Infantryman). I went to a club fitter and the 1st thing we found out is my swing speed is about 60mph. The fitter suggested Lady's shafts. We tried it on my Callaway Fusion driver and I loved it. I then purchased a chip and of Lady's Callaway Mavericks with the shaft extended 2" and thicker grips. I am in heaven. I win a lot in hanCheck it out at www.precisionmarker.comdicap tournaments (mine is 25) because I am consistent. Same scores over and over. I will still not be able to get to most par 4's in 2, but I am having a blast. I also chip, do bunker shots, and putt better than most. Of course, that might have something to do with my company; Precision Marker. Check it out at www.precisionmarker.com
  9. I went to a fitter and started with my driver. We quickly found out I make excellent contact but only have a swing speed of 60mph. (72 years old with a couple back surgeries and another needed). The fitter suggested I try Lady's shafts. We re-did the Callaway Fusion driver. I loved the additional 10-15 yards. Ordered a set of Callaway Mavericks in lady's with the shaft extended 2" and thicker grips. I am in heaven; love them. Before you call me a sissie; Tom Watson gave Freddie Couples a 4 wood. He used it all season and loved it. At the end of the season, he accidentally broke the shaft. When he went to get it replaced, they told him it was a lady's shaft. Just info for thought for all you old guys out there.
