Putting Footage
The putting footage has been recorded and the results are surprising! There wasn't any real consistency with footage for most from round to round and even some reporting a higher footage, but more putts and a higher score than previous rounds. This must lead us in to the approach play and how close we are actually hitting it, and then which of those chances we are converting.
From the results, I would say the 'feeling' of putting well isn't so much on the length of putts holed but more the timing of them in the round in conjunction with the approach shot to the hole. So watch this space for your next challenge.
I would like to thank all those that took part and congratulations to Stephen Hand, who holed a 64 foot putt to win, just tipping Ron Harrison with 62 foot. Stephen, please collect your dozen balls when you are next at the club.

Know Your Roll?
Striking the ball out of the middle of the putter will not only improve the starting direction of your putts, but will help you achieve a more consistent roll. These two factors without doubt will improve your putting stats.
Place two small pieces of blue-tac on your putter face with just enough room for a golf ball to get thru. Start off quite small with enough room for off centre hits, and once you get confident place the blue tact even closer to really challenge yourself.
Try hitting putts from 4ft and go to 8ft once you have holed 4/5 putts. Remember to keep a smooth acceleration thru the stroke and be confident! Let me know how you get on…Thanks Sam
