If you would like to find out how this works and how to implement check out this website! It explains perfectly on how to do this. This is a great tip because I could never find anything on google that worked properly, but this does!

**The tutorial is here…

Weird post, I know.  But for those of you who know me and know what I am talking about you’ll understand.

On that note, I am single. lol. anyone interested?

I’ll keep posting my results here for my own benefit, cause its not like anyone reads this crap anyways.

Next time your practicing on the putting green, try this drill, it could save you some strokes!

Grab 2 tees and stick them in the green just on the outsides of your putter head. This creates a gate for your putter. Place a dime on the green and hit some balls to it keeping your putter head within that gate. If you hit one of the tees, you know your swinging either out to in, or in to out. This drill will keep your putter head moving on a consistent path causing you to make more solid contact in the center of your putter. Get a good feel for it, hit about 1000 putts, then go out and have fun on the course!

I just got done watching the new batman “The Dark Knight”.. it was alright.. it was actually pretty long. There was this dude and his girlfriend that sat right next to me, they both got drunk (i was at Alamo draft house theaters) and they both fell asleep on each other.. they BOTH started snoring hardcore and i couldn’t even enjoy the movie at all. It was freaking ridiculous. Aside from that, Heath Ledger did a fantastic job playing the joker.. poor guy, its too bad he died cause he was a damn good actor!

If anyone reads this, i recommend you see the dark knight, but wait for like another week when its not so packed and you can sit a few seats down from some people that wont disturb. I give the movie 4 out of 5 stars.
