What’s Up With Garcia?

May 4, 2006

Golf Digest and ESPN’s pundits tee off on Sergio Garcia’s place in the golfing world.

I think that Sergio is not far away from winning a major and putting all of this talk to rest. His ball striking is unquestioned; all its going to take is for him to get some confidence with the flat stick. And its not like he as to suddenly become Ben Crenshaw on the greens. In spite of ranking 179 in putting, he has three top tens this season.

It won’t be a US Open. The greens there will be all tricked up. But a Open Championship, or a PGA are possibilities.

Sergio should come see me for a putting lesson. My friends are generally amazed at how such a short hitter who rarely hits a green in regulation can regularly shoot under 90. Its all in the putting, my friends. All in the putting. smile

  • Basically we just get together and play dollar aces.  It’s great with 10 to 15 guys.

    first in line puts a tee in the ground where everyone is to putt from, everyone putts in order, only aces win.

    Of course if two aces go down, then you move on to the next spot.

    If no one makes an ace then the last guy has to pick up the tee, as he is choosing the next location.  The catch here is, if you are last and don’t retrieve the tee - you owe everyone a drink.

    This is a great way to kill and afternoon, and work on pressure putts etc.

  • Sounds similar to a version of stymies we play.  At a buck a player you could be like the unfortunate buddy of mine who paid out $94 in a friendly game…hehe.
