Putters and putting
Playing The Villages courses, does it really make any difference whether you use a high-end, off the rack putter, like a $300+ Scotty Cameron, or one from the trade-in barrel? Seriously. I saw someone with one the other day and thought, "WTF! On these greens?" Perhaps it was just an ego thing.

No difference.
By the way, most putts that don't make it to the hole, don't go in. |

In the hole
Also remember this: Never buy a new putter until you've had a chance to throw it.

I have spent a lot of money on putters, only to find after a couple of rounds they do not work properly, never seem to know where hole is, and do not do what the manufacturers advertisements claim!

Golf equipment is one of the biggest scams around. A few years ago, a neighbor, who plays every day and has the latest and greatest clubs, asked me to play 9 holes. I had not played in over 20 years and had a $50 set of clubs from a garage sale. I beat him by 2 strokes.

No difference.............mostly on Exec Course greens.
I laugh at guys with expensive putters...........mostly when they are using the up tee boxes.

Remember, it’s not the putter, it’s the putter.

It's not the arrows, it's the Indian.

In my experience, most golf clubs are just fine from the grips down to the head of the club. Having said that, having a putter that you are comfortable with is helpful.

Not only putters, there is a lot of bad, inaccurate ammunition being sold as well, judging by some of the shooting going on down on the local range!

Jus joking with u.
Actually, I know several Native Americans (a/k/a Indians) who don't care. It's not offensive to them. As usual, the noise makers are not the ones with a vested interest.

A friend of mine visited me a while back and we played a round of golf, then stopped at the golf shop in Brownwood. He tried out a Scotty Cameron and, despite missing several putts in a row, bought it for well over $300. I tried it and tried an $80 putter very similar to my own. I dropped a few with the Cameron, but I dropped more with the budget putter. I couldn't see why he wanted the Cameron and yet he was (and continues to be) thrilled with it. Different strokes for different folks.

$30 or $300. I doubt my game would improve no matter how much I spent on a putter. Some days I think I'd do better with a pool cue or a sledgehammer.
