Do you make all of your four-foot putts? The four-foot putt can be nerve-wracking, especially when it counts the same as your 270-yard drive. Despite its simplicity, it’s easy to miss. Many golfers overthink this shot and fail to commit. I’ll share three tips to help you master your four-foot putts, potentially saving you one or two strokes per round. 

Aim First – Then Set Your Feet In 

Aim is the most important part of a four foot putt. 

If your speed is just a little off, you’ll still have a chance of the ball rolling into the hole or the back edge catching it before it runs away from you. 

However, with only four feet to work with, you’ll never make the putt if your aim is wrong. You have to aim these correctly. 

There are different schools of thought about how much break to play and whether you should just go straight for the cup. When you are dealing with a severe break, you may need to aim outside the cup. Most of the time, it’s best to keep your aim inside the cup. 

What’s that? You’ve been looking for a new driver but can’t quite justify the $550 – 600 retail price of this year’s releases and don’t want to buy used? Well, my friend, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve got a driver deal for you that keeps more of that hard earned cash in your pocket.

Who is TPT Golf?

TPT’s parent company, NTPT, is more than just a golf company. The Swiss-based company was not initially associated with the golfing world. With a background in making fine watches as well as marine, aerospace, motorsports and aeronautical parts, they transferred that knowledge and experience to the golfing world.

TPT (Thin Ply Technology) has a fully integrated process for making their golf shafts, starting with their resin formulation and extending to the end result of shaft manufacturing. By maintaining control throughout the entire process and using automated processes, TPT shafts offer “no fiber off-axing, no parasitic bending during swings, and tight dispersion” by using continuous winding with “one start, one stop.”

TPT recently partnered with L.A.B. Golf to make specialized putter shafts, resulting in two wins on the PGA Tour and one on the Korn Ferry Tour. 

We selected four testers to be fitted for, test and review the TPT Power and Nitro Series shafts which include driver, fairways and hybrids. TPT’s slogan for this line is “three shafts, one feel,” claiming that each shaft will deliver a consistent feel and allow the user to swing each shaft the same way. Would the science behind these shafts hold up to the claims made?

Tester Plans and Expectations

Our selected testers were excited and eager to get things underway in testing the Power Series shafts. Plans and expectations varied slightly between them.

Sergio Garcia, who was put on the clock for slow play, failed to qualify for the Open Championship for the second straight year, while Justin Rose did make the field.

Tradition and Iconic Moments

1963: First Non-American Winner

Almost exactly a year ago, the PrimePutt indoor putting green earned the title of Best Indoor Putting Green of 2023. Testers were impressed with the durability and the pureness of roll provided by the PrimePutt turf.

Though a bit more expensive than its competitors, the consensus was that the quality of the green justified the cost.

Naturally, when the opportunity arose to test a PrimePutt green myself, I jumped at the opportunity.

Can PrimePutt replace Old Reliable?

The testing goal of the PrimePutt putting green boiled down to one simple question:

Could the PrimePutt green replace the TourLinks green currently residing in my garage?

Let’s assume that, one way or another, LIV is here the long haul.

While I’m skeptical LIV will become popular and profitable, there are still opportunities for it to be more additive to the professional golf landscape. The in-person experience was better than I thought it would be, and I think there are tweaks they could make to get more people interested.

Let me be clear: I’m highly uncomfortable with how LIV was formed, its real purpose for existing and the divide it has created in pro golf. I doubt that will change.

However, if it’s going to be here, it might as well be entertaining.

Here are seven avenues that would make LIV more enjoyable.

When on the course, one of the most important pieces of information you need to be armed with are yardages.
