played Fri and on the 9th green I was leaning on my putter waiting for
the last of the group to putt out and the shaft broke right above the
little "hosel" where you can adjust the lie angle of the putter head. I
was devastated. This is the best putter I've ever owned. But, I had to
finish the round so I borrowed an Odyssey White Hot XG #7 from the Pro
shop. 11 putts on the back 9 and the two 2 putts were both from 30'
plus. So, I bought it. Played again today and shot a PB 37 on the front
nine with 12 putts. I was worrying about having the Guerin Rife
reshafted and having to send it back to FL to do so. I think I'll retire
it for a bit and see how long it takes before the XG learns that I own it :)
putter #17 hits the garage storage area in two pieces maybe to never be
seen again

Before some misguided soul jumps in and tells you that such damage is
not considered to be "during the normal course of play" and that
therefore you were not entitled to replace the club -- it is and you
were (4-3/1).
Just thought you might like to know.
Send me the putter head, Dave, and give me the specs on the shaft, and
also send the shaft piece with the grip. I'll be happy to repair it
and test it out. I like the look/feel of that club.
Am I a nice guy, or what?

#8 was a hidden agend......I mean goal :-). I also thought about adding goal
#9, but that would mean I'd have to become dead to Pflum

I saw the videotape on the golf channel and it looked to me
like you were leaning on that putter in anger. DQ.
I'd like to find a putter where I could make a few putts.
But my long game is so bad I don't think it would be much
help if I one-putted all 18 holes.
I'm like that guy who gave up his clubs and got a Harley
but with my game I'd be into the first fence post on
the left and suffer a permanent DQ.

I hit my 8 iron farther than my 4 iron. In fact, I think I hit my
8 iron about as far as any club in my bag. It's unbelievable.
It's too late in the year to worry about it. Put the clubs away
and hope I get my mojo back in the Spring.

my most famous saying: "if I couldn't putt, I'd be a 30 handicapper"
:)
talk about no long game. I hit a shot on #6 today from 178 yds with a 4
iron that literally rolled 177 yds to 15 ft from the hole. Drained the
putt for birdie. My playing partners just muttered "ugly, with a capital
U" while walking off of the green...
btw, I NEVER have anger on the golf course. I learned long ago that I'm
not good enough to ever get mad at golf. I just play the game.

Love it, I had one similar yesterday. Drive pushed right on to some hardpan
about 150 out I have a shot at the green, the front right, but the pin is
back left behind an oak. I hit a low, 7i, pushed again right at the oak,
goes throuh the leaves lands on the back of the fronting bunker, so my
partner says, and rolls back to the pin about 15-18 feet. Drain-o. Meanwhile
the guy driving my cart is hitting'em stiff all day and missing the putts.

A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement between
two golfers neither of whom can putt very well.
