| A couple years ago, one of my co-workers who drew my name in the holiday gift exchange, gave me one of those electric ball returns, the kind you putt into and a little rod shoots it back at you. The one she gave me was the Caddyshack model, with a little gopher who would pop up his head when you made a putt and say something sarcastic.
When my wife came into the bedroom and I made a putt, it said, "You're number 1 in my book!"
Dinner was extra special good that night!

Yeah, she teases me about that ball returner. The other day, I got a catalog in the mail with some of the loudest pants in it I've ever seen. Ian Poulter wouldn't even wear these things in a dark room. She looked at it before I did and wrote "not for you!" with a magic marker on that page.
BTW - The carpet in our bedroom breaks left from the door to the bathroom.

| I remember a story from 30 or so years ago when some pro described how he was going to practice in his hotel room to get used to the fast greens at the U.S. Open. He said he was going to get a brick and a pane of glass and then lean the glass on the brick. He figured to putt the ball down the hill and if he could stop the ball on the glass before it got to the bottom, he could putt on the fast U.S. Open greens.
Since we have hardwood floors in the living room and dining room, sometimes I practice keeping my stroke on line by putting on the floor. If your stroke is just the slightest bit off, you seem to see the results more readily on the wooden floor as you watch it roll down one 2" wide plank, or across the seams.

| Do you think that you could manage to get it to stop on the glass? you'd need a soft touch to do that. Floor broad prac is always good because it will so you the roll and spin you put on a ball.
