Terms
9 holes from white tees
3200 yards
Slope 135
Rating 71.6
$$$
Me: 10 handicap, played college golf, average 40 rounds per year and lots of range time
Opponent: high 90s golfer, played 10 times per year
Searched the googles and was not able to find much info playing with a putter only.
Strategy:
bag full of putters
Regular grips
Test out combination of blade & mallets
Have lofts adjusted on the clubs
Practice practice practice
Any tips or suggestions?

Opponent is 61 struggles making contact right handed and am counting on a number of whiffs
Plus, is there any water that has to be carried. How are you going to carry water?
No water to carry. Medium sized fairways, larger greens. The water hazards are avoidable.

Course was much tougher. Former country club that was sold for peanuts a few years back. This will be strictly course management.

I am going to hit some good wills and other places to see if they have some cheap putters and will look for mallets. These are all one and done putters.
A friend of mine had been a switch-hitter in baseball and it was almost amazing at some of the recovery shots he hit simply by flipping over a short iron.
This is something I did not consider when making wager and a very good point.
