JULY 23
Steve Flesch
@Steve_Flesch Don't waste time with this long putter nonsense, by which Ernie and Adam were nearly last in putting, look at the ball. The real issue
Bob Estes
@BobEstesPGA @Steve_Flesch True, but would Ernie & Adam have finished 1 & 2 without the long or belly putter? They obviously thought it helped them.
Bob Estes
@BobEstesPGA @Steve_Flesch But you're right! The ball got away from the ruling bodies, as did the size of driver heads.
Steve Flesch
@Steve_Flesch @BobEstesPGA From a guy who has used every type, length,and method of putting, I believe that belly and long don't eliminate mistakes.
Bob Estes
@BobEstesPGA @Steve_Flesch No method is foolproof. What matters is, does anchoring the putter make you a better putter than you would be otherwise?
Steve Flesch
@Steve_Flesch @BobEstesPGA agree entirely, but anchoring doesn't appear to help so much that it needs to be banned.
Bob Estes
@BobEstesPGA @Steve_Flesch How can you say that when 3 of last 4 majors have been won with belly putters. They don't putt that way 2 putt worse!
Bob Estes
@BobEstesPGA @ogilviej @geoffshac The oversize heads of driving clubs would make the game easier if the length of those clubs were 2-3 inches shorter.
Bob Estes
@BobEstesPGA @cliffkresge Have you tried the belly putter? If you're not using it, why not?#justasking
