Thread: How far can you hit your putter?

I once hit one about 150 on from the infamous 9th green at St. Andrews Valley after a huge number. Baseball style. But the joke was on me as I had hit it off the neck of my Odyssey White Hot #6. Added about 20 degrees of loft to it. She was never the same again.

tee it up on bermuda greens so the ball gets rolling faster and aim towards the setting sun, unless it rising of course ,drink lots of water to ground your feet and lots of it if your feet are big This has helped me a lot.

The course where I grew up - Thames Valley, there was a member a little bit older than me who used to play money games with only his putter. It was an Acushnet Bullseye and he used to hit it a good 200 yards off the tee. He'd shoot 80-85 every time and pocket a good deal of cash.

Its actually been done already as recently as last week. Golf is all about Repetition. Quote: Originally Posted by Robocop this thread was bound to happen sooner or later

I played once with an older gentlemen who had a very interesting game, but he used it every hole and it worked. He hit as many balls as it would take to get within 100 yards, every one was straight but not long. Then he putted and made the green every time, then one or two more putts and off to the next hole. Was amazed at how many times he got inside 20 feet when putting from 40 or 50 or 60 yards. I think he chose courses that allowed this...

it's the silly season again

I don't really know... I thought anything within 40 feet was a gimme.
