Quick Putting Tip.

Just talking last night about the new golfing season only being about three to four weeks away. You know the sort of thing, what we felt were the good points of our game, what things we were doing right last season, and of course what parts of our game we felt we needed to brush up on.

During this discussion we remembered one game we had last year, just a friendly fourball on a weekday morning. We were playing for the usual small stakes, and although it was just a bounce game, they do get competitive!

Our opponents, Jack, a 12 handicapper, and Bob who plays off 1 are really nice guys, but Bob in particular doesn't like getting beat.

So we get to the 12th hole, and we're all square, but Jack in particular had missed three or four short putts to win holes which would have put them in a comfortable position. He was always up at the hole, or past it, but everything was slipping by either left or right. And Bob was beginning to quietly bubble!

So, when we get to the 14th, and Jack slides another one past the hole, Bob's had enough. He says " Jack, would you like a quick tip about short putting? " And Jack being eager to find out what he was doing wrong, nodded his agreement.

Bob looks him straight in the eye and says "AIM AT THE %*&%*&% HOLE."
