The Birth of RightyHoges and the journey to single digits

[LeftyHoges]

Why not both?

I played with a bloke recently who carried left and right handed putters.

Although I would imagine your decisions have a bit more thinking behind them than “sometimes it looks like a right handed putt, sometimes left”

Well of course mine do. Sometimes it FEELS like a left handed putt, sometimes right.

Two putters is a genuine waste of a bag space, and honestly, how much of a dill would you look / feel carrying two putters onto a green? That's just madness. Could you imagine a bloke doing that in an A grade Pennant final!?!?!

You won’t need the righty putter in matchplay anyway. They’ll be giving you the 2 footers.

Notah Begay made a career out of a lefty/righty putting stroke, need to bag a single putter though: the 2020 putter, or a plop

Are you still rocking the tyne c?

Well, you'd think so, wouldn't you....???

Yep, loving it, really nice puttah....

In theory, yes, in practice, not so sure.

I'm heavily left eye dominant, so require an offset putter left handed and a non-offset putter righty (hence playing with a plumbers neck lefty and a centre-shafted Ping Tyne C righty).

I'm sure an engineer could design me something double sided that's offset lefty and not righty, but that thing would be uglier than a hatful of arseholes with one hanging out the side.

[Courty]

I couldn't imagine.

I think the only valid reason for abandoning lefty completely would be if I was better righty, and I genuinely can't see that happening any time soon.

The only caveat would be that I can now see taking up righty putting full time, as I'm slowly getting to the point where my mid and long range putting righty is starting to equal my left, and I'm only about 6732% better righty inside 3 feet, so picking up a shot or two from the missed short ones isn't cancelled out by the 3-putts from long range, and the missed 6-10 footers that I make lefty.

You certainly wouldn’t be the first. I know of a couple at our club who use an opposite handed putter to the rest of their set. Whatever works best…

I am all in on Lefty carrying 2 putters at the Vic champs 2025...

Will that increase my Calcutta bid from $5 to $10?
