Not Being Fickle

25 Sep

The good intention to bring two putters for a round of golf did not pan out well last Friday, partly because the green was inconsistent and unpredictable. I could not get the feel and rhythm of both putters. Sometimes, one putter worked, then it didn’t after that. The situation confused me even more!

I was alternating between the Peanut and Scotty at the start of the game but, towards the end, stayed with the Scotty. I made 37 putts again that afternoon. Sigh.

To resolve my putting woes, I must trust the putter more and allow the weight of the putter head to do the work. I should not be aiding anymore with my strength when putting. And with this mindset, the Saturday game yielded a much better result: 30 putts! Yay.

I should not be fickle – maintain just one putter and trust its ability. With this decision, the Peanut will be retired, and for now, my Scotty Cameron remains in the bag.
