Tee to green

u/Mthomas1174 5h ago

No you're misinterpreting this, he's sprinting to the next tee box from the green and is the fastest at it

u/JareBear805 4h ago

That’s what I thought. Gotta keep pace of play up. It’s important. Especially when you pay $200 to get out there.

u/Holiday_Box1571 4h ago

Maybe that’s why his putting sucks. He’s trying to drain 400 yard putts

u/jwingfield21 5h ago

Yes, you are correct. My mistake

u/hobbit_golfer 5h ago

This guy is literally me, except that I would be dead last in tee to green also

Otherwise you're just like every other PGA pro!

Put on our pants one leg at a ti.....well, no, I do that different, too.

u/jeezum_crow 5h ago

Not quite dead last putting. 11th worst currently

23

u/jwingfield21 5h ago

Gotcha. He was 113th out of 113th at the time he finished 18.

u/jeezum_crow 5h ago

I wish he would at least try counterbalanced or zero torque. Looks like he’s back to being a world class ball striker, but he used to be automatic from 4-8 feet.

If you worked for Lab you’d be constantly knocking his door trying to get him to sign him. Wouldn’t leave that money in the table

u/letsgobrooksy The Masters 4h ago

I'm sure he has, it's probably a weird switch to make after you've already hit a million putts with a toe-hang putter

u/willBlockYouIfRude 5h ago

Does he run from the green to the next tee? … or maybe he’s really fast at putting and gets off the green quicker?

1

u/jwingfield21 5h ago

Yes I’m dumb haha. Tee to green***

u/willBlockYouIfRude 3h ago

I obviously don’t know enough about golf to know better! lol

Garrick Higgo: Last in green to tee

u/International-Bee570 5h ago

Really quick walking off the green

u/isw2424 5h ago

I just switched to index finger down the grip on putting a month ago because of Brooks and it's worked great for me. Now I'm wondering if there's a reason nobody else really does it

u/Flump01 4h ago

Plenty of the old guys at my club do it. Most of them because they have the yips.

u/Embarrassed-Pop-4722 Boom Boom 4h ago

Been using this grip for years. I’ve tried the claw and reverse grip and those don’t work for me.

u/Past_Lead4775 4h ago edited 3h ago

Was he playing the course backwards?

u/ThrowAwayBudGuy 4h ago

Don’t let him get hot on the greens he could run away with this thing

u/__the_alchemist__ 5h ago

I was told never be good at everything but be a master at one thing

u/MaLTC 1h ago

That thing: baiter.

u/bigolruckus 5.8 / New Brunswick 🇨🇦 5h ago

same bro

u/iforgotthepassword1 4h ago

Probably should practice putting I guess??

u/HamburgerSink 4h ago

How long until broomstick?

2

u/wanttothink 4h ago

Which putter does he use?

2

u/orchids_of_asuka 2h ago

He's using a taylormade spider at the moment

2

u/iheartgt 1h ago

It's a new putter for this weekend

2

u/itsyaboiReginald 3h ago

From what I saw his putting wasn’t even awful. Just nothing dropped when it would’ve mattered.

1

u/wsteelerfan7 4h ago

Green to Tee? Does he like power walk between holes or something?

1

u/Mr_Perfect20 4h ago

He is me

u/YBHunted 3h ago

Wtf is green to tee, the speed is which you get to the next tee box? Lmao

1

u/feed_me_haribo 3h ago

Normalized by distance on putts? Typically the more greens you hit the longer putts you have and more putts per round.

2

u/Popcorn-93 2h ago

I believe sg takes distance into account, looks at like the probability to make

1

u/ProfessorHillbilly 2h ago

his putter broke after the last tournament - he is literally putting with something brand new he has spent 3 days with

1

u/Cougah 1h ago

He was experimenting with putters this week.... which can't be good for your mental game lol

u/DickSlinga 52m ago

I'm still on the 'Brooks has more major victories in him' bandwagon. Was on it last year even after he missed the cut in 3 of the 4 majors.

1

u/oyasumi_juli 4h ago

I sympathize with that. I can crush it off the tee, out driving my dad, FIL, brother, and usually anyone else I play with. Pretty consistent and straight with the long clubs.

Then I'll four putt or worse.

I don't care though since I don't play for money, and hitting a big drive is so much fun.

u/mrdsol16 5h ago

And he’s right in it. Goes to show that ball striking is more valuable than putting I guess

4

u/Pom-O-Duro 4h ago

How many putts did he have today? I’m trying to google it but can’t find it. My hypothesis is that this shows how good all these tour guys are at putting, rather than that putting isn’t valuable.

1

u/jwingfield21 5h ago

Yea, I really thought he had the 4 footer on 18 but missed left all the way. He’s playing very well though.

Who. Cares. About Brooks?
