Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!!

In this episode, I take 3 of my Ping putters to the putting green.  I use a Magnesium Bronze Ping My Day, a Stainless Steel Ping Zing 2, and a Beryllium Copper Ping Pal 6 during this session.  I found that using the Seve toe up putting technique has helped me again to stay consistent around the hole.  I am continually...

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!!

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! Here I introduce myself and why I think that older golf equipment is still as relevant as ever.  I love and appreciate older golf equipment.  Especially on the municipal golf course.  Golf is too expensive.  Ever sink a birdie with a 5 dollar putter and watch someone sink a bogey with a 300 dollar putter?     Support...
