It was great to be back out for my first event of the 2010 season at the Qatars Masters. This was my first visit to Qatar, for what is the 2nd event
Just wanted to let you know my thoughts after the recent lesson, I know it is early days for such a testimonial, but in two months time when I've been cut instead of drifting up I might not have the time.
As a long term 6/7 handicap golfer I have always felt my long game was 2/3 handicap and my putting was at best 18. Sometimes my putting was good and other times awful but no matter what I did I couldn't improve consistency. In desperation I travelled for 5 hours to Southport (and another 5 hours back) and a one-on-one session with Phil Kenyon.
2 1/2 hours later I finally understood why I was a poor and inconsistent putter. At times the necessarily patient Phil had to re-iterate his explanations in order that I began to comprehend what I good putting stroke should feel like. A good mix of technical analysis, demonstration and practical application meant that eventually the light bulb went on. And boy how bright it is.
I had hoped that improving my putting stroke would take 2 shots off a round, making my bad rounds closer to buffer and my good ones a decent cut in handicap. Recent analysis makes me believe that 2 - 6 shots a round is the difference (I really was quite a poor putter) and even more importantly I approach every green positively. If I miss a makeable putt I know whether it was a bad read or a poor stroke (and most importantly I know why it was a bad stroke)
You may know by now that I am a huge fan of the principles taught by Phil at Harold Swash Putting and I would highly recommend a session for anyone wanting to improve their putting stats.
