Since I played yesterday and putted well on the first nine but faltered on the second I decided to do a little test today . 12 putts from 22 feet slightly side hill ( the putting green has no flat putts ) with about 1/3 cup of break -green speed estimated at 9-9.5 - made 2/12 -Not good though I was unconsciously manipulating the putter for the break . Moved to 11 feet -12 balls , same break etc. - made 3/12 but lipped 3 out , still subconsciously allowing for the break as I would with my previous gamer though trying not to do so . Moved to 5@1/2 feet -12 putts made 7 because I made an effort to push the putter back with my left hand which helped -the alignment is spot on as long as human error doesn’t take over and we all have some human input . I ran out of time but will follow up doing the test again with more conscious effort to not manipulate the stroke and trust the alignment

Probably too many , without counting , my estimate is 16, I usually pickup one or two a round to give the wife ( just beginning ) and will have one or two that I’ve retired and forget to remove . I’ve started to not grab a new sleeve every time I play since I rarely lose or damage more than one which tend to back in the bag !

Good Friday morning , let’s hope everyone has a great day , work , golf or family enjoy ! Got an early text that I didn’t want to get , one of the guys in our normal Friday group and one of my best buddies is in the ER , been having breathing issues so I’m ! Be blessed , kind and grateful !

Well my favorite will always be Jack , win or lose with class , the only guy that would play , fly home fir child’s game the fly back and play next day , great father , husband and human

Well he lost me as a supporter when he ambushed Watson at the Ryder Cup press conference , he should have talked to him publicly before he went off to the media

I guess I have several Justin Thomas wears on me a lot too , another CC kid that had it all and really had never had a job

The only thing about Phil was at least he was always very generous to every single clubhouse person while TW never tipped any of them , Phil actually had left the property but turned around and went back because he forgot to tip the clubhouse staff -have a personal friend who worked clubhouse at the memorial who told how generous Phil was

Me too , he has a big piece of The Golf Pass and is self serving when it comes to his comments , he’s very much like a politico . Arrogant as well

Is it thirsty Thursday? Water it is for me , going to be in the 80’s today so stay hydrated! May you be blessed to enjoy your day whatever you do , succeed and prosper ! Winding down for the weekend , time flies when you’re getting older , seems to be twice as fast ! Be grateful and kind !

Well all I can add is that it does have me aiming more correctly and my misses are much closer than before , so they system works and I support it fully

When being fitted they ask you if you like the alignment they put on and your eyes have a certain preference on how you view things , that’s why I said personal preference , then if you’re rolling the putt on line it is determined that’s the right item for you . It’s about what you see and what is comfortable that works but you determine what alignment your eyes like . It’s like target shooting , I know my aim and miss is always high right so I compensate by aiming low left . To me it’s what works and makes me confident standing over the putt .

Your eyesight adapts to what you works for you , that’s why I called it personal choice, some people need no guidelines , some dots or one dot while others want more but it’s what you feel works for you , don’t you think ?

I practiced some today by trying to putt through gates , it really showed how accurate the alignment I was attempting actually was . If a putt had to break to go through the gates it instantly showed how much I was over / under aligned with one putt. I learned to take or add adjustments more consistently, I’m constantly being schooled on the alignment and how to get better with the Edel Array

During my fitting my alignment was better with the triple track lines which have helped me get the putter squared to the line but it’s probably personal preference.

Back the last time I was fitted (2014) the fitter told me to always go to a solid metal milled face versus insert as the insert could differ from putter to putter . I’ve mostly been a solid face putter most of my life anyway
