Summary

Putting from off the green—the Texas wedge—is polarizing. In some parts of the world, it's completely normal. For some golfers, it smacks of desperation: a shot that indicates that a golfer lacks the skill to use a more lofted club. In today's episode, Lou begins with some data that indicates that way more of us should be using the putter from off the green, and then he and Mark and Lou give advice for practicing and using a shot that could save many of us a lot of strokes.
