  wait....you're supposed to putt with your eyes open???  *slaps forehead*  doh!!!

  LOL...I know right!!! I mean, they should tell us this in the beginning tutorials, not just hand us some clubs and say " off you go". I think Mr Leadbetter needs to know about this very important point. I don't recall him ever telling me to "keep your eyes OPEN" when putting.

  You mean I wasn't already maxed out on the VEM meter? You mean it can actually get worse? Can I have just one more chance, please. I was only trying to help the bad putters out a little. I promise not to divulge any more WGT secrets. Please don't make me use my VEM ticket I got for Xmas. I was saving it for Pinehurst.

  Your truly, sincerely , and forever friend,

  Jay

  PS...I'll even fly to 'Frisco and sweep and mop the office floors for a week!!!

  Unfortunately VEM isn't in 'Frisco. It resides in our nightmares, drawing cankerous succour from our innocent hopes and aspirations.

  Had to Google succour (I didn't pay much attention in school).....and, yes, you're right. And so far, so good. The spinning method still works. Tried it in a ranked round (39footer). Since I've already broken the WGT law (code V413-07), I don't see how I can charged be twice, as that would be double jeopardy. :)

  I noticed all your spinning is in a clockwise rotation. Using the inverse theory of reverse engineering, I spun in a counter clockwise rotation and putted the equivalent distance AWAY from the pin. Results varied, but I have eliminated missing the ding as the root cause. Research continues.

  Very true. Unless, of course, you're playing Whistler, Kiawah, or Cabo....then it's inside 2 inches :) The only time I'm 2 foot away is when I miss the ding after doing the spin.

  LOL....Let me know how the research goes. You might be on to something. Icon and VEM9000 saw the video and the last update has made the clockwise spinning a little off. I'll give the counter-clockwise a try. Hopefully, we can come up with a way to "beat the system". :)
