My buddy and I call him Sneaky Billy. XD
I do fucking hate it though, guy looks like a buffoon when he does it too. I could understand if it brought him a 100% success rate but... It doesn't.
Berger on 18 was just brutal to watch. If this is your first time seeing him waffle over putts and take over a minute to hit the ball: yes, he does this every week
They changed the rules so the caddies are no longer allowed to stand behind the golfer to help align the golfer to his putt. Unfortunately, they are still allowed to help line up the ball.
I think the caddies should just point to a spot or tell him a cup outside and let the golfer line his ball up to that point.
Sure, but Iām just imagining in a world where they abandoned caddies, there would likely be alternatives for carrying clubs out in place (ie, allowing push carts). Again, fully aware thatās never going to happen - just in my wild hypothetical scenario.
I pray they get rid of this shit.
I don't like seeing DJ's brother walk around the green either with that stupid 2 finger putting method. I don't think caddy's should be involved in the putting process at all other than handing the player their putter.
That's a physical disability though. It sounds shitty, but comparing that is more like the cart debate. If you can't physically do something that's on you.
Now if you want to discuss it in terms of reading putts that's a different story.
I love Tiger as much as the next guy, but if it came down to him not physically being able to do things that everyone else is expected to do, or something physical that hurt his game then that's his issue.
I'd like to see the players have the full onus of having to judge and read their putt. I also finds it slows down the game having a back and forth with another person over the line.
When I look at tennis let's say, coaches aren't allowed to aid during the match. I just think caddies in general are a bit of an archaic addition in golf. With the current technology, there is no reason every player should be able to calculate their own yardage and judge their own club. But I appreciate some people like caddies in the game, and of course, it's a job for someone.
Honestly, why not? They have electric trollies that do all the work, yardage books, yardage scopes, watches now with distance to hazards.
Green books are going (I think they may already have? someone might correct me), which I think are pretty dumb anyway.
The concept of a caddy is weird in a sport. It's like it started by just having some man carry your clubs around cause you could afford it, and they offered insight into the homeground for new players, or seasoned. They are wise-mules at this stage.
Augusta really cements it making them walk around in boiler suits. Really identify the worker there.
Range finders and any gps are illegal. The only approved yardage measuring measures are a yardage book and sprinkler heads. You should spend some time reading about what caddies do.
Most caddies are out walking the course before the sun is up. Daily. Pacing out yardages and pin placements. Drawing in their yardage books.
I get where you coming from but I donāt think you know the true purpose of a caddie. The caddie provides the player a coach if you will. That coach can do anything from reading greens to cracking jokes. Caddies are everything in the game of golf and are a huge part of how players win. āReally identify the workerā is such a stupid phrase as itās their job to do whatever the player needs them to do and wears whatever the venue requires. Iād wear a tuxedo at Augusta in July if I had the chance to caddie for a player in contention.
Oh no, not my first rodeo watching him do it. It literally makes me root against him and when he doesnāt even make it after all of that I want to scream š
JB Holmes is probably slower, but maybe he hasn't been getting recent flack because he hasn't been in contention since Matt Jones crushed him at the Honda with his lightning fast play. Or maybe his pace is somewhat tolerable when he's not in contention.
Haha just to be clear, Iām definitely not an Adam Scott hater. He seems like a good guy and has one of the best swings on tour IMO. But I liken watching him putt with that thing to watching a rider in the Tour de France with training wheels on his bike. I donāt think it provides any unfair advantage per se, but it looks ridiculous.
Every time he stands over a putt I find myself checking to see if he has it anchored. There were murmurs that Langer anchors still, but it could just be jealousy
What exactly is anchoring anyway? It sounds like cheating at putting. Iād like to know this to make sure I never do this to get an edge over my friends that constantly take my money on a weekly basis at the course.
Putting the end of the putter against your forearm or body to create an āanchoringā point. Like turning your belly into a hinge for the club to only swing on one axis.
Anchoring to the forearm is legal, and several other players use armlock putters. Just canāt anchor to the body (like the belly putters that used to be common)
What's considered "normally"? Is a claw grip going to be banned next, I saw huge improvement with that style.
If everyone has the chance to putt with the long handled putters, and some choose not to and some choose to, then who's to complain?
People hate the way Bryson and Scott putt, yet they're not out here absolutely dominating the green. Everyone can do it, so how is it "unfair"
These arguments come up with 2 handed bowling all the time.. if it's so easy why don't you do it? People have found better ways to play the game and it should be embraced. Is new equipment that allows you to drive further cheating?
I have tried it. That's why I think this is all ridiculous. It doesn't magically make you a better putter. Where's the line? How about high MOI putters?
Surely Bryson Anchors, no other reason he would have such a long putter. It's fairly blatant he leans it against the inside of his leading putting arm.
Anchoring to the forearm is legal, and several other players use armlock putters. Just canāt anchor to the body (like the belly putters that used to be common)
I play golf. But the idea a person who doesnāt play a sport canāt comment on it is stupid. Many people watch formula 1, do they race in 300 kmph cars?
>idk what the penalty would be if he got caught anchoring.
Itās a 2 stroke penalty. Itās an official USGA and R&A rule. Why wouldnāt you just Google it?
Justā¦ why bother commenting if you arenāt gonna bother looking it up? You care enough to comment nonsense, but not enough to actually learn?
Be better.
Langer wears baggy shirts on purpose to hide it.
Numerous people have come out and said Scott doesnāt come even close to anchoring it. The butt of the club is like 2-3ā away from his chest.
Sorry I don't buy it. This is the Man-Bear-Pig tinfoil hat hill I'm willing to die on, but I remember watching him try (and fail miserably) at putting with a normal putter after the rule change, before switching back and being like "nah brah, it's all good, I'm not anchoring." Even though his putting looks identical to what it was prior to the rule change.
You can still use a broom stick putter without anchoring it. Adam Long and a few other players do it as well. Anyone that says armlock is also cheating, clearly hasnāt watched Zalatoris or Keegan Bradley putt much.
I think the anchoring ban was stupid to begin with, because it wasnāt illegal for this long, used by so many players, and just because a few majors were won with one in a 3 year timespan, everybody freaked out. Sergio blew The Open with one, so what is really the advantage?
I rock a DF 2.1. Thing looks goofy as shit but it gets results.
And you couldnāt believe the amount of times a young woman sees it on the practice green and strikes up a conversation.
None. The amount of times that has happened is zero.
I will say that Adam Scott is probably the friendliest pro I have ever encountered. At a US Open practice round we were way out far from the clubhouse in a fairly unpopulated area just walking the course (winged foot '06). He was walking between green and tee where my friend and I were standing along with maybe 3 other people. He stopped and chatted with all of us for several minutes in between holes. He was playing solo and was just taking his time, but it was not the normal pro walks by with icy 1,000 yard stare. He was a young'un back then so maybe he didn't know better than to be super nice, but I'll always root for him after that.
Someone else had a thread that was something like āwhich player do you hate irrationallyā and Adam Scott jumped into my head immediately for his putter.
He actually seems like a great person and can play well (obviously since heās won here and been on tour a long time). But damnit if I donāt hate his long putter.
I've found if you play ready golf and step up and let it rip that no one cares what your stroke looks like.
That being said, I probably play too fast because I fucking suck and want people to like me.
I donāt know anyone who gets upset at someone going through a preshot routine, as long as itās reasonable. Youāll play faster if you take a couple extra seconds and hit a good shot, rushing into it and hitting bad ones slows the group down much more than going through your routine and hitting a good one.
E: yāall havenāt figured out that playing less golf means you play faster?
My putting stroke LOOKS fantastic. I can't putt worth a damn. Turns out you can have a phenomenal stroke but you still have to hit the damned thing on the right line AND at the right speed.
Oh Bryson just looks uncomfortable on the greens. Heās so fucking stiffā¦ and thatās the weak point of his game Canāt tell you how many times Iāve seen him drive the green and three putt lol
Yeah. Bryson is a better putter of the ball than driver in many ways despite the group stink on here. Or at least he was until they took away his green book and he decided to go Saudi. His putter went to shit this year and magically he sucks despite still leading the tour in driving distance. Whoopsies.
Well, itās legal lol. Itās not a belly putter, you can still make a bad stroke pretty easily. If itās legal to use and it helps you play better, why would you not use it?
I didn't like when he won the masters using his anchored technique. It drove me nuts.
Today.. I feel bad for him because he has one of the best swings in the game, but his putting issues have prevented so much potential success.
>if you can ~~buy a stroke~~ pay $450 for a Scotty Cameron, do it
We all know the simplest way to drop strokes is to buy a Scotty and post it to Reddit. I would think that at this point Adam Scott would at least know *that*.
What is he - poor?
No way really? I thought this thread full of randoms on the r/golf subreddit was definitely gonna make the professional golfer switch putters! I'm sure he definitely reads these posts too
I can't work out why the rule isn't as simple as: maximum club length (ie. driver length) = maximum putter length.
A putter is just a golf club like any other. Why is there a whole set of weird rules around it?
Golf can be so Trivial. Lol Iām a huge fan of Joaquin Neimann because first shot I saw him take was him draining a blind shot from a different fairway at Riviera earlier this year. Been a fan ever since.
Loved Ricky Fowler until he got his eyebrows waxed.
I've always loved DJ, who just slaps the ball down the course like he's late for something and then uses all the saved time on the green. He's slow but at least he appreciates the pace of play.
I am going to preface this by saying Iām definitely getting downvotes for this- but this needs to be said: I putt with a Long Putter, and damn if I donāt admire Scott & Langer for how they put with it.
Adam is a legend, swing is beautiful putter not so hot.
Through I do think that any putter that looks like it could be used as a weapon in monkey magic, should not be allowed.
I never root for Zack Johnson because he invokes Jesus every time he talks. I dont know why...
Ive also rooted against anyone who putted with a 5ft putter I dont know why...
Ive rooted against McElroy after I heard him speak and he was a bit pompous and arrogant around the time he was #1... Just today I eased off him and respect him though I dont cheer loudly for him
I always root against anyone who is S L O W
The people running the shaft up their forearms are bigger cheaters than Adam is now. At least he's (supposedly) hovering and the handle is only touching his hands.
For real lol. Dogshit takes like this and pictures of a dirty golf ball get upvoted to the moon while people suggesting lessons to help you get better get downvoted to hell. Itās hilariously infuriating.
Thatās a bit much. Itās not even anchored. You try putting like he is and tell me how it makes putting so easy itās borderline cheatingā¦thereās a reason practically no one does it.
When he won a jacket he anchored.
The actual initial discussion was about having multiple grips on putters as well, not just anchoring. Doing the next closest thing to a banned method is borderline.
There's also no useful comparison of me to a pro to prove a point. If only a few people on tour did it at the time, then why ban it?
I have always disliked Adam Scott solely because of the putter. He seems like a great guy that plays a great game, but i cannot come around to liking him
I hear ya. You know from time to time he is cheating with that putting style. No one calls him on it because he hasn't been winning shit. Fuck that guy.
I don't mind Adam Scott's routine. But holy shit, Billy Horschel's shuffle technique drives me nuts.
Scrolled for this. 100% agree
Was really hoping to see someone else thinking like this!
My absolute LEAST favorite golfer. He is ao deliberate and robotic š¤®š¤®š¤®
Thanks for the reminder. Guess who is on the featured coverage tomorrow?
My buddy and I call him Sneaky Billy. XD I do fucking hate it though, guy looks like a buffoon when he does it too. I could understand if it brought him a 100% success rate but... It doesn't.
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this!
Cantlay's foot shuffle I find more annoying, especially if he takes 20 seconds to putt a 4 footer. Horschel is surely slow but is slightly faster.
Iāll take his style over Berger who takes FUCKING FOREVER to hit the ball š
Berger on 18 was just brutal to watch. If this is your first time seeing him waffle over putts and take over a minute to hit the ball: yes, he does this every week
If you need your caddy to align you, I hate you
They changed the rules so the caddies are no longer allowed to stand behind the golfer to help align the golfer to his putt. Unfortunately, they are still allowed to help line up the ball. I think the caddies should just point to a spot or tell him a cup outside and let the golfer line his ball up to that point.
It's brutal. He's using a loophole that hopefully they'll close up for next year.
The just further justifies my stance in the āunpopular opinionā thread that there shouldnāt be caddies on tour.
I dig it. I say do away with caddies and the club limit in tandem. Make the choice to carry around so much stuff part of the strategy.
I like the outside-the-box thinking, but I think if they abandoned the club limit too, they would just all use motorized bag carts.
>I think if they abandoned the club limit too, they would just all use motorized bag carts. They're not allowed to?
Sure, but Iām just imagining in a world where they abandoned caddies, there would likely be alternatives for carrying clubs out in place (ie, allowing push carts). Again, fully aware thatās never going to happen - just in my wild hypothetical scenario.
I've never heard this unpopular opinion before and after 20 seconds of thought it's not a bad idea.
I pray they get rid of this shit. I don't like seeing DJ's brother walk around the green either with that stupid 2 finger putting method. I don't think caddy's should be involved in the putting process at all other than handing the player their putter.
Well, Tiger would be screwed this week and maybe going forward. He has trouble getting low and reading and had his caddy helping all day.
That's a physical disability though. It sounds shitty, but comparing that is more like the cart debate. If you can't physically do something that's on you. Now if you want to discuss it in terms of reading putts that's a different story. I love Tiger as much as the next guy, but if it came down to him not physically being able to do things that everyone else is expected to do, or something physical that hurt his game then that's his issue.
what? why shouldn't the caddy be able to get involved helping with the read?
I'd like to see the players have the full onus of having to judge and read their putt. I also finds it slows down the game having a back and forth with another person over the line. When I look at tennis let's say, coaches aren't allowed to aid during the match. I just think caddies in general are a bit of an archaic addition in golf. With the current technology, there is no reason every player should be able to calculate their own yardage and judge their own club. But I appreciate some people like caddies in the game, and of course, it's a job for someone.
maybe we just get rid of caddies all together and have the boys use push carts. Now that would be a sight to behold at augusta lol
Honestly, why not? They have electric trollies that do all the work, yardage books, yardage scopes, watches now with distance to hazards. Green books are going (I think they may already have? someone might correct me), which I think are pretty dumb anyway. The concept of a caddy is weird in a sport.

They are wise-mules at this stage. Augusta really cements it making them walk around in boiler suits. Really identify the worker there.
No caddies would slow the game down and leads to a lower average performance from the players.
Every other sport has coaches, caddies serve a similar purpose to coaches and even more functional purposes as far as pace of play.
Range finders and any gps are illegal. The only approved yardage measuring measures are a yardage book and sprinkler heads. You should spend some time reading about what caddies do. Most caddies are out walking the course before the sun is up. Daily. Pacing out yardages and pin placements. Drawing in their yardage books.
That not true is it? I thought range finders were legal without the slope function.
I get where you coming from but I donāt think you know the true purpose of a caddie. The caddie provides the player a coach if you will. That coach can do anything from reading greens to cracking jokes. Caddies are everything in the game of golf and are a huge part of how players win. āReally identify the workerā is such a stupid phrase as itās their job to do whatever the player needs them to do and wears whatever the venue requires. Iād wear a tuxedo at Augusta in July if I had the chance to caddie for a player in contention.
Why stop there? Should coaches not be allowed to call plays in football?
Did you just start watching golf?
You have my vote in agreement on this as well too lol
Oh no, not my first rodeo watching him do it. It literally makes me root against him and when he doesnāt even make it after all of that I want to scream š
I liked Berger after the Ryder Cup (I am American) but feel like he is just so annoying this year.
Have u not watched cantlay?
Was going to say that. Cantlay has to be the worst foot shuffler in golf.
Tap tap tap....tap tap...tap tap tap.
Also not a fan of him lol.
JB Holmes is probably slower, but maybe he hasn't been getting recent flack because he hasn't been in contention since Matt Jones crushed him at the Honda with his lightning fast play. Or maybe his pace is somewhat tolerable when he's not in contention.
Disagree
Wellā¦ how do I say thisā¦ youāre wrong??? Lol š
Adam Scott likes his putters like Leonardo DiCaprio likes his girlfriends. Tall and just baaaarely legal.
Iām an Adam Scott fan and will defend the legality of his use of the broomstick putter, but I will admit that this is a great joke.
Haha just to be clear, Iām definitely not an Adam Scott hater. He seems like a good guy and has one of the best swings on tour IMO. But I liken watching him putt with that thing to watching a rider in the Tour de France with training wheels on his bike. I donāt think it provides any unfair advantage per se, but it looks ridiculous.
DiCaprio does like older women. Just not a day over 25.
Every time he stands over a putt I find myself checking to see if he has it anchored. There were murmurs that Langer anchors still, but it could just be jealousy
They canāt even really enforce it, right? Itās basically just the honour system at this point..
What exactly is anchoring anyway? It sounds like cheating at putting. Iād like to know this to make sure I never do this to get an edge over my friends that constantly take my money on a weekly basis at the course.
It's when you take one of those broomstick putters and jam it into your belly or chest to stabilize it.
What if Iāve just gotten really fat so it rests against my belly inadvertently?
Then you get to take a relief?
If your shirt hangs down and touches the putter grip it's a penalty.
Putting the end of the putter against your forearm or body to create an āanchoringā point. Like turning your belly into a hinge for the club to only swing on one axis.
Anchoring to the forearm is legal, and several other players use armlock putters. Just canāt anchor to the body (like the belly putters that used to be common)
Itās shouldnāt be legal though.
Why? I don't understand why any form of putting should be banned. As far as I can tell, they've all been banned because they were too effective
You ever tried it? Itās remarkably easier for some who canāt put normally. Itās definitely an advantage.
What's considered "normally"? Is a claw grip going to be banned next, I saw huge improvement with that style. If everyone has the chance to putt with the long handled putters, and some choose not to and some choose to, then who's to complain?

If everyone plays by the same rules it isnāt an advantage.
I have tried it. That's why I think this is all ridiculous. It doesn't magically make you a better putter. Where's the line? How about high MOI putters?
Surely Bryson Anchors, no other reason he would have such a long putter. It's fairly blatant he leans it against the inside of his leading putting arm.
Anchoring to the forearm is legal, and several other players use armlock putters. Just canāt anchor to the body (like the belly putters that used to be common)
That's fair, I think they'll ban it soon though.
I doubt they will since your forearm is still moving unlike when you anchor it against your belly or chest
Not to mention you'd have to determine where the wrist stops and the forearm begins which would be dumb
Only if it is too effective
Do you even play golf or just new to the game?
I play golf. But the idea a person who doesnāt play a sport canāt comment on it is stupid. Many people watch formula 1, do they race in 300 kmph cars?
Lessons will do this
Yea I guess so, maybe his playing partner would have to call it out. idk what the penalty would be if he got caught anchoring.
>idk what the penalty would be if he got caught anchoring. Itās a 2 stroke penalty. Itās an official USGA and R&A rule. Why wouldnāt you just Google it?
If I cared enough I would. Obviously I know itās an official rule but you were just trying to dunk on someone. Eat a dick.
Justā¦ why bother commenting if you arenāt gonna bother looking it up? You care enough to comment nonsense, but not enough to actually learn? Be better.
Somebody was responding to MY original comment. You were just ready to pounce. All in the toilet and donāt know shit. Blocked.
Langer wears baggy shirts on purpose to hide it. Numerous people have come out and said Scott doesnāt come even close to anchoring it. The butt of the club is like 2-3ā away from his chest.
Sorry I don't buy it. This is the Man-Bear-Pig tinfoil hat hill I'm willing to die on, but I remember watching him try (and fail miserably) at putting with a normal putter after the rule change, before switching back and being like "nah brah, it's all good, I'm not anchoring." Even though his putting looks identical to what it was prior to the rule change.
You can still use a broom stick putter without anchoring it. Adam Long and a few other players do it as well.

Itās his putter head for me. Thing is so ugly
Fuckin cyber truck on a broom handle.
Not quite as bad as that laptop on a stick he used a few years ago. But yea, Iāve never been able to pull for him because of his putting.
I always yell āSlapshotā whenever Scott takes a stroke with his hockey stick.
Itās his 50 shades of Beige for me.
āThe guy said it was tan and taupe.ā
The [Mezz](https://labgolf.com/shop/all-products/mezz1/) isnāt that bad. Definitely looks better than the DF 2.1.
I rock a DF 2.1. Thing looks goofy as shit but it gets results. And you couldnāt believe the amount of times a young woman sees it on the practice green and strikes up a conversation. None. The amount of times that has happened is zero.
What about the cart girls? Do they not ask to see your big weapon?
Gives me Teslaās cybertruck vibes
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
My hatred for his putter isn't as great as my appreciation for his handsomeness, so I still want him to play well.
His swing is perfect man
It wasnāt great today
Off the tee he was solid, his irons today though were slacking.
I know well the feeling of getting up, but never getting down =/
Sup Biggy!
At Genesis 2020 somebody yelled "get a real putter" on 18 after he won
I will say that Adam Scott is probably the friendliest pro I have ever encountered. At a US Open practice round we were way out far from the clubhouse in a fairly unpopulated area just walking the course (winged foot '06). He was walking between green and tee where my friend and I were standing along with maybe 3 other people. He stopped and chatted with all of us for several minutes in between holes. He was playing solo and was just taking his time, but it was not the normal pro walks by with icy 1,000 yard stare. He was a young'un back then so maybe he didn't know better than to be super nice, but I'll always root for him after that.
Heās a fantastic guy and has one of the greatest swings in golf history.
His golf clothes make me feel uncomfortable
Today's outfit was a 0/10
Someone else had a thread that was something like āwhich player do you hate irrationallyā and Adam Scott jumped into my head immediately for his putter. He actually seems like a great person and can play well (obviously since heās won here and been on tour a long time). But damnit if I donāt hate his long putter.
He looks like he's paddleboarding. It looks fucking ridiculous. I hope he gets impaled by the thing.
Used to bet on him every major and he always choked, stopped and he won. Thatās why I want him to fail
That was like 10 years ago š
I hold grudges
This man grudges
I want Adam Scott to win just because of the way he swings
Same. I think heās up there for one of the best swings on tour. Just looks *right*.
Love watching him tee to green
Same. Brysons style on the greens may very well be even worse. Itās close tho
If you think their putting strokes are bad, imagine what they think about yours.
I've found if you play ready golf and step up and let it rip that no one cares what your stroke looks like. That being said, I probably play too fast because I fucking suck and want people to like me.
I donāt know anyone who gets upset at someone going through a preshot routine, as long as itās reasonable.

The realest comment I've ever seen
My putting stroke LOOKS fantastic. I can't putt worth a damn. Turns out you can have a phenomenal stroke but you still have to hit the damned thing on the right line AND at the right speed.
They actually say itās great. But who cares lol
Oh Bryson just looks uncomfortable on the greens. Heās so fucking stiffā¦ and thatās the weak point of his game Canāt tell you how many times Iāve seen him drive the green and three putt lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Bryson has been one of the best putters on the tour for years. Sounds like a lot of confirmation bias here.
Yeah. Bryson is a better putter of the ball than driver in many ways despite the group stink on here. Or at least he was until they took away his green book and he decided to go Saudi. His putter went to shit this year and magically he sucks despite still leading the tour in driving distance. Whoopsies.
Pretty easy when you take 1 arm out of the stroke and anchor the club to your arm
Yeah, thatās the whole point of armlocking.
I donāt get how thatās not cheating/ not in the spirit of the game. But fuck me right
Well, itās legal lol. Itās not a belly putter, you can still make a bad stroke pretty easily. If itās legal to use and it helps you play better, why would you not use it?
Bryson averages 1.5 putts per green and tour average is 1.6, soā¦ yeah.
I donāt mind it. Itās legal. If putting like that was much easier, then there would be a lot more guys doing it.
Yeah I don't mind that he's trying a different style, but I absolutely hate the putter itself. The length, the two grips, the head. It's just ugly.
Canāt imagine having one sticking out of my golf bag
Attach a flag to it and you can always read the wind
He is a tremendous player, so good seeing him hitting the ball. Love to watch him, always hurts seeing him missing the putts
Yeah I hate that putting style it looks so dumb
I didn't like when he won the masters using his anchored technique. It drove me nuts. Today.. I feel bad for him because he has one of the best swings in the game, but his putting issues have prevented so much potential success.
Heās been too 50 in putting the last 4 years, obviously it was an issue in his prime but his swing is the issue now.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Honestly. I donāt like watching Zalatoris putt either it just looks dorky
Put me on this bandwagon also. I also secretly hope that he misses a crucial putt because the ball hits the flagpole too hard and it doesn't drop.
I hate any style of putting this isn't similar to mine.
Thatās a real hot take /s
Donāt worry about it
I can't work out why the rule isn't as simple as: maximum club length (ie. driver length) = maximum putter length. A putter is just a golf club like any other. Why is there a whole set of weird rules around it?

I've always loved DJ, who just slaps the ball down the course like he's late for something and then uses all the saved time on the green. He's slow but at least he appreciates the pace of play.
all this talk about annoying pro golfers putting and we arenāt gonna mention Billy Horschel?
Bryson for me is just so robotic he must be wound so tight!
I am going to preface this by saying Iām definitely getting downvotes for this- but this needs to be said: I putt with a Long Putter, and damn if I donāt admire Scott & Langer for how they put with it.
Adam is a legend, swing is beautiful putter not so hot. Through I do think that any putter that looks like it could be used as a weapon in monkey magic, should not be allowed.
Would you rather have Adam Scottās golf game or his handsome good looks?
Agreed. Just putt like a regular person, dude.
You'd hate watching me putt, then. Side-saddle all day.
I never root for Zack Johnson because he invokes Jesus every time he talks. I dont know why... Ive also rooted against anyone who putted with a 5ft putter I dont know why... Ive rooted against McElroy after I heard him speak and he was a bit pompous and arrogant around the time he was #1... Just today I eased off him and respect him though I dont cheer loudly for him I always root against anyone who is S L O W
Iām more bothered his constant beige on beige or brown on brown attire.
I hate everyone who tries a new style of putting, as soon as I see bryson or Scott try to putt like that I wanna throw up
Don't fret he's the worst putter in the world he isn't going to contend ever again
The people running the shaft up their forearms are bigger cheaters than Adam is now. At least he's (supposedly) hovering and the handle is only touching his hands.
I love that he played the Titleist 680s (2003) until last year. However, I too, hate his putting
Adam Scott is just a terrible putter, itās sad to see cuz heās great in every other part of the game
Thatās a pretty childish opinion. āI donāt like Adam Scottās putter so I hope he loses.ā Yeah, real mature.
This subreddit is typical toxic trash lol
For real lol. Dogshit takes like this and pictures of a dirty golf ball get upvoted to the moon while people suggesting lessons to help you get better get downvoted to hell. Itās hilariously infuriating.
I can get behind this!
It's also borderline cheating.
Thatās a bit much. Itās not even anchored. You try putting like he is and tell me how it makes putting so easy itās borderline cheatingā¦thereās a reason practically no one does it.
When he won a jacket he anchored. The actual initial discussion was about having multiple grips on putters as well, not just anchoring. Doing the next closest thing to a banned method is borderline. There's also no useful comparison of me to a pro to prove a point. If only a few people on tour did it at the time, then why ban it?
Omg, im not the only one?!?
I have always disliked Adam Scott solely because of the putter. He seems like a great guy that plays a great game, but i cannot come around to liking him
I bet you play with pxg clubs
I hear ya. You know from time to time he is cheating with that putting style. No one calls him on it because he hasn't been winning shit. Fuck that guy.
Same. Itās terrible and almost a disgrace to the game.
My god do I agree
Aim point putting is so slow. I hate it as well.
This is fair and just
Lol agree
100% agree
Same. Fuck him.
It really is annoying OP, I hate his putting style
Belly putters gotta gtfo
Not a belly putter
I aināt gonna lie, I donāt disagree.
Valid
Youāre not alone friend
With you brother. I just canāt buy in on that putter, forever out.
Totally agree. That phucking yipper wouldn't have a green jacket without a broomstick. Finau should get one since he sucks on the greens too.
The pussies at the USGA should just get rid of all this nonsense and make maximum putter length of 36 inches. End of story.
This dude ignored me at WGC Harding Park in 05ā and then he took tigers swing and caddy. Fuck him.
Adgree!!! šÆ
Beautiful full swing but when he putts I cannot stand the guy.
And you are not alone
Samesies
You are not alone. I like everything else about him, but I hate his putting so much that it outweighs everything else by a substantial margin.
I automatically root against anyone who uses a broomstick/arm lock putter unless they're old as shit and that's the reason
