I hit 6 footers for 45 min. and my best was 25 consecutive today. I will be working on this several times in the next couple weeks so I will continue to post my results. I am a 3 handicap, but trending down thanks to fixing the putting.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

Nice Matt! Now, that's something for me to shoot for- although 25 that would be just in my dreams at this point.
Thanks for posting.

Welcome Mike O. I hit 26 today, took a bit more than 45 min. but started that streak at about the 40 min. mark.

Nice Matt- Any performance anxiety coming down the stretch - knowing you'd like to not have "wasted" your time and actually beat the old record of 25?

Thanks for setting the bar for me!

I was thinking of having a go but 73 is too rich for my blood!

Hey Dingleberry . . . Is there a point to putting the same put over and over? Why don't you go around a circle? How many flat putts do you actually have in a round anyhow? How many times can you fork food put it in your mouth without stabbing your eyeball?

I hear ya! But remember that it's not a competition to win. This is to see how much you can improve your best performance. Tiger shoots 22 under- but you don't say that's it I'm giving up the game!

Besides- I have a solution for everyone- since I am controlling the rules- we'll just bar this thread from all attorneys! That'll get rid of RWH's record.

OK bagger, put another lock on this thread for attorneys. Let's see we've got Brian Gay, Jeff Hull, Ted Fort locked out, all Hitters are locked out , and now all attorneys. I may need to have further names and categories added in the future!

With all of that said- I'm still at 11 and need to get to the putting green.

Is this the same RWH I met a few years ago on the range???

Really well done.

Did you cheat and use a hitting stroke?

At your service. Hard to believe it's been 2 years.

No hitting stroke for me on the greens anymore; threw it out with my steel-spiked Foot Joys.
