Change 30 – Learn To Putt

I have decided to learn to putt.

I love to play golf. I’ve been playing once, maybe twice a month.  With summer coming, I hope to play a bit more.  I hit the ball well, and I am a pretty decent short-iron player, but I really struggle with the flat stick.  My plan is to head to the golf supply store Tuesday, to be fitted for a new putter.  After that, I’ve scheduled a lesson with a local pro, and I plan to do whatever he says to do, so that my putting will improve.

The last round I played, I “gave away”, by my count, four shots, due to the fact that I failed to make four three-foot putts.  Missing those short putts just killed my score.  I’m excited about taking the lesson, my first in more than a decade, and I’m also excited about my new (budgeted-for!) putter.  In a few weeks, I’ll let you know how things are going.
