My experience and knowledge of SeeMore putters was limited to seeing Zach Johnson win the Masters and The Open with one. I’d never actually seen one close-up, in a pro shop or retail outlet.
I’d seen Andy Gorman before, coaching Charley Hull on the practice green before a round in the season she won the Ladies European Tour Order of Merit.

SeeMore and Andy have now teamed up to offer the ultimate putter-fitting experience at the PGA pro’s studio at Wishaw Golf Club just outside Birmingham.
I arrive yet to be 100 per cent convinced that a putter fitting is as essential as one for woods or irons.
Putting can be quirky. There are dozens of different ways to get the ball in the hole. Find a method which gets the job done and stick with it?
Andy uses the SAM PuttLab analysis system which measures 28 parameters of the putting stroke.
I hit five putts with my putter and hole all five. How can I improve on that?
As well the data from the sensors on my putter, Andy is filming me from all angles.
Despite holing five out of five, I’m hitting up on the ball and my posture looks dreadful from down the line.
We switch to the SeeMore FGP (as used by Johnson) and go up in length from 34in to 35in and now have 2.5˚ of loft, dropping from 3.5˚.
It has SeeMore’s patented Rifle Scope Technology (RST). As you align the putter to the ball, the shaft should hide the red dot. When the red dot is hidden, the face will be lined up perfectly square. The dot should remain hidden right through the stroke.
I hole another five putts but feel much more comfortable and actually look like a golfer. The ball is rolling end-over-end quicker, and my back isn’t sore after hitting five putts.
