READ THIS IF YOU WANT LOWER SCORES.
The worldwide average golf handicap has not changed in 30 years despite the huge advances in technology made in the industry and claims of instant improvements by the leading manufactures (bigger headed drivers, club fitting etc etc ..).
I like you am one who believes this has made the game easier to hit the ball no question, but why have scores not lowered in 30 years?
Why is your handicap not coming down after spending £100 or £200 on the latest custom fitted driver?
Well, this because hitting the fairway that little bit longer will have no guarantee you will have a better score at the end of the hole.
The club that has the biggest influence on your scores is the putter. The club you use the most is your putter. It does have the final say! Hit two to three fairways per round and you can still finish the round above your handicap…. Have 2-3 less putt less per round and that WILL give you lower scores.
I have just returned from a seminar with Dr Paul Hurrion in Coventry coach for the tour stars namely, Padraig Harrington, Darren Clarke, Lee Westwood, Maarten Lafeber, Paul McGinley, David Howell, Ross McGowan, Philip Archer, Henrik Stenson and Graham McDowell as well as the Hong Kong Elite Junior Squad. This guy is at the cutting edge of golf coaching. He give me the theories and scientific fact on aim set up, stoke and putter fitting which can be yours for a fraction of the cost he would charge. www.paulhurrion.com
I have also visited Dave Hicks in Bournemouth for a one-day seminar who make putters from scratch at his factory using aerospace technology who has clients namely Airbus, Red Bull formula F1racing team and Mclaren F1 racing team, where I witnessed the technology that goes into these putters first hand as well as the importance of putter fitting. We also had coaching on putter software to identify putting faults for tour standard and handicap golfers. www.davehicksgolf.com www.higar.com
Putter length, lie, weight and head type will have massive influence on your ability to hole more putts, how good does you putter suit you and your stroke type?
Have you ever had a putting lesson? Have you checked you putters suitability?
Putters can be altered for very little money.
Does your stroke feel off line? Do you miss in the same place every game?
Book your putter consultation NOW! How important is a properly fitted putter? It is considered that putting is about 43% of the average golfer's score. If it is important enough to have correctly fitted irons and woods, which represents 57% of your score for 13 clubs, then 43% for one club is extremely important.
