Not a great putter but usually one part that (for me realtively speaking) is decent on a good percentage of days. Wish i can say that for the rest of my game but thats another story. Have my fair share of one putts, sometimes a handfull on good days while other days none, one, or two. But its mostly 2's and dont three putt often. "usually"
I'd say I feel pretty good about that right now. But then of course there are the days where it just goes go in the tank and cant make anything. Happens to everyone I'm sure but that in itself is not the strange part.
Whats strange about it is this. Firstly i dont know if any of you do this (I assume others do) but when i putt i visualize (from behind) an imaginary line through the ball and the breaks and onward to the hole. When my putting is better I see this line verry well. But when the putting is off, this imaginary line strangly just disappears.
Its like i cant find it anywhere. Where did it go? You begin to ask yourself, "where are you?". Move my head around looking for it but it just hides from you. If find this very strange. And when it disappears it also leaves speed with a question mark too. Its like you search for this line and just doesnt pop up in your head that day. Next time out it may be back again and its like "oh, great, your back" ...lol But its almost like a friend to me as though its a real thing and when its there the confidence, the speed, and overall putting is much better.
I just sometimes wonder how this imaginary line can be so real to begin with and how it is even there but also why and how it can magically disappear too. Its like i take it for granted when its there only to realize it's importance after it disappears. I dont even know if you can comment on this or if anyone experiences similar. But thought it strange and wanted to put it out there.
