in case you haven't noticed a man using a long putter is leading the champions tour money list by almost double the dollars. and 5 of the top 20 in the British Senior Open used the long putter. but at the local golf shop where I went today, well stocked with merchandise there were no long putters for sale, in my local group which includes a few dozen golfer no one uses a long putter, and I still have yet to see a "how to" article in one of the golf magazines about using a long putter.
A childhood friend who has played lots of Senior Golf told me two years ago when I was just getting started, " I have one piece of advice for you as you enter Senior Golf....if your putter length doesn't begin with a 4 you have no chance."
I am 56 and have been using a long putter for 14 months. I had little choice in going that way, and have found some success of late using a 48 inch putter. I have no qualms about the way it looks sticking so far out of my bag or pulling it out on the first hole with a group of strangers. because it has enabled me to putt without as much fear and allowed me to get more putts to the hole...... something I was unable to do with my short putter.
