The weather is awful today. Can't even go to the range, let alone play.

Windy? OK
Cold? OK
Drizzly, Rainy? OK
All of them together = misery

Started the day chilly. Then the wind kicked up. Then it was misting. Then it was sprinkling. It was raining pretty good for 16 and 17, then back to a sprinkle for 18. In the end, I was cold and wet, but I shot an 86! Ties my best round ever.

All of the above = no rant from me. :D

That's what I figured. That and because it's lefty maybe. Well hopefully it will be here Monday, if not Tuesday.

That is a definite possibility. Belly + Lefty, takes longer to get out the door.

Definately. And I would completely understand and not be at all mad if they hadn't said it would be shipped within 72 hours (by Tuesday morning, it actually shipped Friday afternoon). A bit of a mix-up I guess.

Way to go, nice round!
 
You went out today? Wow...I barely made out to my car from work. It was awful.

so my boss invited all the teaching pros to play a really money course and he asked if id like to come with... pfft no question hells yeah
but right now my game is in the crapper really bad and it would be totally embarassing
i need to get my swing in order with a quickness or else
 
Went for an early afternoon round today, I never have a problem walking on in the afternoon there so we showed up and asked if we could get on. He said sure if we could head to the 1st tee. Threw our bags on thee cart and went to the 1st hole. There were 3rd groups on the tee waiting, one on the fairway and one on the green. There were 3 groups on every hole on the course throughout the day. It was way overbooked. I heard the group behind us complaining that why make a tee time if you have to wait anyway. Terrible management imo, we should have been turned away or at least warned how packed and slow it was. After 4.5 hours, we quit on 15.

Lefties don't use belly putters.

Young lefties shouldn't use belly putters.

Kevin
 
Why man? Just go and play your game. Youll be playing with your pros, theyll see your REAL game, and help you fix it.

Because they shouldn't be all twitchy like old lefties, and should be able to master using a conventional length putter.

Couldn't hurt to try, could it?

Are trying this because you struggle on the greens or do you just want to buy a belly putter and play it?

I'm messing with the youngster here, you can play a belly putter if you want to. He shouldn't.

I know the question wasn't posed to me, but as a lefty who uses one...I got the belly putt conversion kit because I wanted to learn a pendulum stroke...and yes, I was struggling on the greens. I do have to say that my putting has benefitted from it...and I wonder if I took the kit off if my conventional putting stroke would be better...

A bit of both. I just want to have an extended try at a belly putter. If it doesn't improve my putting significantly, I'll go back. I just want to see how it goes. I'm not unhappy with my current putter, but I had some extra money from my bday and gave it a go.
 
Enjoy your new putter when it gets there, Dam. Sorry to hear it was delayed.

Okay. I was just teasing. Do whatever you want. Just don't lay up all the time off the tee.

My rant; Over indulged on lobster tacos. And gin.

Thanks Hawk. I'm just excited for it to get here.

I would never do that. Driver all the way. If I can't hit a driver straight, I'd rather learn to hit it straight than hit my 4 wood.
