The Frustration is Real: My Struggle with Putting 🎯

Golfing in the Pitch Black as a High Handicapper!

🏌‍♂ Welcome to Roundtable Golf Club!

👋 Hey ,

This round had everything—some of my best shots, absolute disasters, and a four-putt finale in front of a huge crowd. If you've ever had one of those rounds where golf humbles you, this is it.

Chipping around the green can make or break a round. In Round [X] of my 100 Round Challenge, I put my 54° sand wedge and 45° pitching wedge head-to-head in a friendly competition.

Every time I got close to the green, I hit two shots—one with each club—to see which performed better. The results might surprise you!

Gear I am testing in this round:

  • Lab DF3 Putter: Upgrade from my 10 year old Ping

  • Cleveland 56 Degree CBX4: I have a 54 Ping Tour wedge but this is more forgiving with more bounce

  • Ping Chipper: Im using the Ping ChipR (Yes, I know its a love hate online, but I really like it so far, I am just learning the game so its great for me).
