Putting has a habit of making even the best golfers question everything.
More so than possibly any other club in the bag, putters have a habit of going cold more times than we care to say. Us golfers seem to try everything to hole putts on a regular basis. From zero-torque putters to fancy drills, the chances you’ve probably gave the lot a go.
But have you tried putting with a wedge? It’s a technique many a golfer swears by. When the putter isn’t behaving, out comes the wedge.
For Dan Landman, though, it became much more than a practice aid. It sparked an idea that would eventually lead to the creation of Spoiler Golf.
Speaking on the Your Golf by NCG Podcast, Landman explained the unusually way in which the golf brand was created and without any formal background in golf too.
“During the COVID time, my dad, he just started putting with his wedge,” he said.
“After doing some of these drills, he was like, ‘I swear, I putt butter with it’. He was just putting, probably about six, eight months, strictly with a wedge.
“I went down to visit him down in South Carolina, and he convinced me to putt with my wedge too, and so I did, and I was like, ‘Yeah, the the putts definitely roll better’. It was just a matter of forgiveness at that point.
