Great to see a father and son still playing together. Would do anything to go back in time and have a round with my old man. Thanks for the tip on plumb bobbing too will give it a go!
Mate I am blessed to still be able to play golf with my dad, my hero, he got me into golf so cherish every round. Glad you like the video and hope it helps.
i have never tried this mate but would you not have to stand over your line of where the ball is traveling as opposed to behind the ball? the balls travel line may slope differently to the green behind the ball?
@@slicerightgolf Double breakers are almost always very long putts. I generally will just assume the two breaks cancel each other out and go right at the hole as I am not trying to make the putt just get it close. But If one of the breaks is more severe I will favor that and also favor the break closest to the hole since the beginning break will be somewhat negated because the putt is faster in the beginning than the end. The reason the plumb bob method method doesn't work on long double breakers is because the plane you are standing on is opposite to the plane of where the hole is located. (I am a retired Civil Engineer and tend to be very technical)
@slicerightgolf If you recall, the long putt both you and your father determined (by plumb bobbing) would break to the right of the hole had an obvious slope to the left in the segment nearest the hole (you both even remarked about this), This was a double breaker and why the plumb bob method failed you. If you had started that putt straight at the hole, it would have broken slightly to the right at the start and then back to the left as it got nearer to the hole and maybe could have even gone in.
THATS MY COUSIN SO PROUD OF U AND KEEP UP THE GOOD GOLF CANT WAIT TO SEE U IN ENGLAND !!!

Thank you slugo that really a lot 🥹 and I’m so proud and happy to be a golf geek and I love watching the videos 😊
you deserve it, thanks for all your support.

It’s just a guide to what side to aim, your not using your feet just the putter shaft, feel free to try it out.
Have a look at other videos on this technique mate see what they say as well.
@@slicerightgolf Ah right ok.
Are you lining up with the flag or the hole with your putter shaft?
@@Revellien was lining up with the centre of the hole mate.
plumb bobbing only works on single break putts. If you have a double breaker, it doesn't work.
Which technique would you suggest for a double breaker mate?

@@Mike-ev9yn very technical but fully understandable so thanks for that will bear that in mind on longer putts.
