Bobby Grace

Now that I've got some time, I wanted to update everyone on what's been going on during this break between tournaments. My main goal was to work on my putting and do anything necessary to make improvements. As it turns out, not only have I come across some new techniques but a brand new putter to go with it.

Last Monday, I flew to Orlando and drove over to St. Petersburg, Florida with my dad. He had arranged a meeting with Bobby Grace, a well known putter manufacturer from the early 90's and one of the more successful men in the industry today. Bobby said he was willing to have me in for a personal fitting in hopes of finding me something that would help get me back on track. After about two hours of going through all sorts of putter combination's, I left with two putters to take home and work with. One was very similar to what I had been using, but had his new technology added to it. The other was a little different, but had more things added to it that were custom fit for my stroke.

It's been a week now that I've had to try out my new toys, and I'm happy to report that things seem to be getting better. I've decided to go with the putter that was fit more for my stroke as it appears to be working the best. This past Friday, I had my first round of less than 30 putts and consequently shot 67 because of it. Before, I had struggled with speed control on the greens which lead to a lot of the poor putting rounds and now that part of my game is improving. There's still a lot of work to be done, but just changing up the look of my putter has helped me find some much needed confidence going forward.

I've still got just over two weeks before my next event, so there will be plenty of time between now and then to really work with the new putter. As of now, my only plans are to stay around New Orleans and play as much golf as possible. I'm really confident with my swing, so getting my putter up to speed will continue to be my main focus. I'll have another update in about a week with hopefully nothing but good news. Hope all is well!!!
