hi brian
great to hear that your games improving you do wonder why you never thought of it lol, i thought i knew a lot about the shot game and putting till i read dave plez books and then realised i had only touched the surface. i have learned so much more from his books than any of the books i have read before, hogans fundementals being the only other book i keep going back too.
i think his (plez) clock systen on the greens has change the way i play onto the green now and like you i dont 3 putt very often and i get so mad with myself now if i do as it is mostly because i am on the wrong time on the clock face and have a harder putt. my short game is getting better too but i know i can do better and will if i work harder at it in the next fow months.
