P - U - T - T - E - R - S !

I got a new putter from Judy on my Birthday.  It's the purple one with the white shaft. She thought I needed a purple putter.  I have to admit, I didn't have one.  I told her I thought I had about 20 putters in the basement.  I was wrong.  I have at least 27!  This was a quick hunt and gather...so there may be more if I looked hard.  The short one with the red grip I cut down for Erin and Jill to use.  The one with the red plastic ball pick-up on the end of the grip is the putter I use.  I've always thought technology has advanced golf clubs and if you have a set more than 5 years old you are sacrificing distance and accuracy.  I don't feel that way about putters.  I think you can putt just as well with a 50 year old putter  as you can with a brand new one.  It's all skill and frame of mind.  The putter I use I bought at a yard sale close to 10 years ago for $1.50.  I like the feel.  Each putter has a flat blade, and how that flat blade meets the ball determines what direction the ball goes.  I don't care what kind of bells and whistles the putter has or what kind of metal it's made of or how much you paid for it.  If you don't hit it on the right line with the right speed, you won't make the putt.  80 percent Skill, 20 percent confidence, 0 percent technology.  My opinion.
