Putter

And we've talked about it a little bit, so the CTour, the CT putter-

Correct

... came into the Spider line-up when I was repping Oney Putters on tour.

So the last couple of years that I was actively every week on tour, I was doing this, helping with Bill Price, who was running Putters, wanted this CT Tour putter shaft from KBS.

And he'd figured out that it was extremely posi- uh, efficient, it was steel, off center strikes, how much this thing would vibrate, et cetera, et cetera, all in.

So all the boys, the Rorys and everyone else, got into this putter shaft.

You know, um, [clears throat] working with Michael Kim, um, and he has improved 100 spots in, um, in putting, uh, from last year to this year.

I thi- I'd have to look at the final stats, but something like, you know, 120th to like 16th in strokes gained putting.

And texting with him and he says, "Hey, all, all I do for my putting now is Stack Putting," um, which is basically just practicing, right? It's, it's ...

There's nothing technical about it.

It's just, "Hey, here we're gonna go and have you hit these putts.

Everything's tracked, right? So you have to record your results.

So I would refine and say don't just hit a lot of putts.

Like we have you, it, you know, the- the Stack Putting is 18 holes.

What are you up to? What

are you up to? Putter-wise? Yeah, how many putters do you have? I mean, honestly, probably eight.

Okay.

Eight or nine.

All right, then we go on to Friday, where, uh, the rock stars that are the Miami Hurricanes are gonna be heading down to Winston-Salem.

They're gonna eat at Putters, and they're gonna go over to Wake Forest, where they'll find themselves as a 21-point favorite.

A game that we've discussed a lot.

Note that Houston-Texas Tech game, and, uh, I guess if you wanna get on Oregon and Portland State, that's there for you as well.

And Bernard won that in 1919.

The President's Putter, which was the main competition of the Oxford and Cambridge Golfing Society, was an amateur event that was basically won annually by somebody who was either going to win the amateur or be very competitive in the amateur.

So, for instance, Roger Weathered, Cyril Tolley, and Ernest Holderness dominated the President's Putter during Darwin's era, and all of them are multiple winners of the amateur championship.

Most, as I was saying earlier, this Oxford and Cambridge Golfing Society is so influential that their society event includes many of the top-level players who are going to compete at the amateur.

Darwin won that in 1924, and Holderness won in 1920, 21, 22, 23, and his string was finally broken in 1924 when Darwin won.

So please tell us about that.

I'm going to do two things.

The first thing I'm going to do is attend the President's Putter in January at Rye, which is the annual event of the Oxford and Cambridge Golfing Society and the event Darwin loved most in all of his golfing calendar.
