We aren’t blind Rick, we know where you’ve been at with your game for a while. It’s just Rick being an all time waffler, and honestly a petulant child on the course trying to be something he’s not. He used to be a likable, relatable bloke. Judging by a majority of commenters, his audience feels the same way.

Have you ever considered using a conventional putting grip for putts longer than 10-15 feet or so to get a bit more solid contact? Once you’ve played claw for a while, face contact using a conventional grip just feels so much more solid off the sweet spot. Then keep the claw for shorter range to fight the slice putt path.

As amateurs we would love to know what it takes to keep the concentration during the entire 18 holes. Like many out there, we want to see you break 75 more often. You have the game. You just need to hold it together for the entire 18 holes. Easier said than done :)

Mike88GT: Very true but as you may remember, when he was using the Kirkland clubs, he was too busy finding reasons to not give them a good rating. For example, knocking the driver for not having the shaft he normally uses even though he hit it well. Also, downgrading the driver because Kirkland does not have a matching 3 & 5 woods. Also, after shooting 7 over with his fitted clubs, I wonder what grade he gave them?
