weight transfer
Surge, Just got home from a practice putting session. Amazing weather here in Las Vegas this week. Switched to the Flatso 1.7 Super Stroke grip and rolling the rock nicely. On the subject of weight transfer there is another one I would add (I know there's many), and that is not pre-loading heavy right in the set up.
Weight Transfer
Hi to All Surgites everywhere, Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year when it arrives : - ) I take the bait Robert Meade ; - ) The weather here has been extremely changeable and at times extreme!!! Today as I peck this out-it is hot and breezy. A couple of weeks between visits to the hallowed turf.

Dh, your Heather has caught the golf bug ah ha! Great stuff and nice to read your always entertaining and witty words. Cindy and I enjoy using our golf carts. I am often a bit rebellious as far as where I roll to. Long ago I read that uin Australia it is normal to roll straight across the green. Here that is considered unruly.
Golf in Vegas
RM: How is the weather there in Vegas - is it decent for playing a few rounds of golf? I don't know how much longer I can wait - haven't hit a ball in a month now and need to find a course that will let me walk with a push-cart so I can get some exercise. My son-in-law's parents live there and said I can stay with them anytime soooo.

R2, Decent for playing golf right now. 50-60* F during the day. We had a cold spell and will again between now and March but I play golf year round. If you come down here we would love to take you out for some small ball. Here is the muni we walk frequently.

I am toying with this thought as well. Might start applying big toe pressure (trail foot) pre-swing to get a good start to the transfer.

Sure. Just make sure you push at the right time, and the right amount, and practice enough so that you can do it consistently.
