Let's talk about belly putters, should they be legal?

For as many guys who you see putting well with the belly , there are just as many who struggle with it........ you just never hear about these guys.

Bad putter gets frustrated with conventional putter

Bad putter tries belly putter

Bad putter makes everything for the first two weeks

Bas putter eventually goes back to his old ways, get's frustrated and goes back to conventional putter.

Repeat for the next 10 years.

Someone not so famous uses my belly putter Me

I'm of the opinion  that you should only  be able touse a belly putter if you have a belly...unfortunatly I qualify

 No Worries  Does that mean you get compted tickets for all Dallas games???

I am waiting for my invite...

The putter is a stick used to hit a ball and as with all such games (with the exception of some Asian ping-pongers - but is that really sport?), the thumbs should be pointing down the shaft of the stick as in baseball, hockey, cricket, tennis etc AND 99% OF GOLF!

You don't need to ban these putters you just need to have a rule that says the thumb must point down the shaft!

Regardless of what putter is used, contrary to MrBogey, I love seeing great golfers miss 6 footers!

Im also a purist of the game. Even have a 2 iron instead of 3 wood and reckon belly putter has to go. By anchoring the putter it takes a bad stroke out of the game when the nerves kick in and the hands start to shake. It happens to us all and is part of the game. being able to overcome that and make the good stroke is what its all about. And yes we all want to see low scores but at the same time makes me feel good when see a pro miss a 6 foot putt.

Just my 2 cents worth but hey.
