Are you one of those plumb-bobbers

Hi Bobby,
Gee l do not even have a Green Thumb and i'm sure not one of those Plumb's-bobbers who do not know their left from their right My Friend.
Your Friend,

no, i've never swung a golf club in my life, not at a golf ball anyway.

do not think so

Yes, and it gives me one more bit of info to putt confidently. Also, part of a set pre shot routine that gets me focused. But do it while others are putting, so not to slow up the game.

What the hell is a plumb bobber? Sorry never heard of it. Is it like bobbing for apples and you use plums instead.LOL

Yes. l plumb-bob pretty much every putt. For those who do not know what plumb-bobbing is - stand about 10-12 feet behind the ball in a direct line from yourself to the ball to the hole. Hold your putter vertically by the fingertips. Once you have lined the putter up with the ball and hole, close one eye (usually the left eye) The relative position of the hole to the ball will then change. This will give you a pretty good idea of the break of your putt. It works for me.

Due to back problems l do, you get instant feedback on breaks. l very rarely 3 putt.

Plump bobber here, do not care about being plumb at all.

Yes, l am. l have bad knees and can not squat so l plumb-bob. l usually read the same breaks as my golfing partners. l had to start reading putts that way when my knees gave out.

Sometimes. It works. Hold the putter up with your arm parallel to the ground. Line the shaft up with the flag with both eyes open, when lined up close your non-dominant eye, whichever side the pin is on is the side the break is on.
