This time....this time it'll be *different*

Old bear; new putter. Given my renewed commitment to meaningful practice as opposed to mindful raking of balls at the range, I'd spent the last month - in part - realizing just how truly bad my putting was via my inability to display even the most pedestrian competence in carrying out the three foot 'round the clock drill. While there was far, far more wrong with the big picture than just my putter, I did strongly suspect that my putter face was too "jumpy," and even the tiniest tap had far more explosiveness than I would have liked. So I switched to a lighter, softer putter - the Odyssey #9 (seen with the bear i was given on the day i was born).

This time it will be different. This time the undeniable mastery of WHITE HOT technology is on my side. No more yips, pulls, pushes, jitters or quickly picking up a four-footer, laughing nervously and trying to convince the group, "hey, it's automatic...wanna keep up pace of play." This putter came with a *putter cover*, so you just KNOW it's high class. And I intend to treat it like the high class putter it is. Starting from here on in, I'll be tracking my putting practice on a stable landing page within the blog - recording personal bests on the three foot 'round the clock drill and its more insidious six foot counterpart.

I am putter...hear me ROLL.
