Blah, blah... A friend who is an ardent, respectful golfer, after extensive back surgery has returned to the game. He was unable to reach into the bottom of the hole to retrieve his golf ball. He was extremely reluctant but we finally convinced him to use a "built for disabled" rubber suction cup on the end of the putter. It works beautifully and he is able to continue his passion, golfing.
He has never damaged a hole on the green using this method. I have witnessed healthy, limber golfers jamb the head of their putter into the hole to flop the ball out. Now that is a problem and may a bad back issue never be yours.
