The Long Putter

Last Saturday's round at Dwan was my first chance to try out my long putter.
I've never felt that comfortable bending over a putt, and for the last several years, because of my back, I've found it more comfortable to stand as erect as possible.

It also seemed more natural to face the hole, so I tried that, too.
I felt that these changes had improved my putting. Maybe it was just that the stance was more comfortable and I felt more confident facing the target.

Anyway, I thought that one of those long putters would be just the ticket to take my putting to the next level. The problem turned out to be finding one. It seemed to me that they were everywhere a couple of years ago, but now none of the golf shops (Golf Galaxy, Sports Mart, etc) were carrying them. So I ended up building one myself.

I was happy with the way it turned out and with the results I had using it at Dwan.
I only had one 3-putt green, and made a couple of long ones.
