  • Possibly The Strangest Putting Technique You’ll Ever See [Video]

    Drive for show, putt for dough.

    It’s one of golf’s oldest adages, and once the yips set in, you can kiss any hopes of competing for major trophies goodbye.

    Mark Hubbard, competing in the PGA Tour’s American Express Championship two Fridays back, was set to miss the cut anyway as he stood over a four-footer during his second round.

    Long regarded as something of a maverick, he then whipped out one of the strangest putting techniques you’re ever likely to see.

    What would you call this one? Some have dubbed it the ‘Snail’, which seems fair enough:

    Given that he knew was going to miss the cut, you’d be forgiven for thinking this was just him playing silly buggers.

    Nope, because in the latter part of that video above he heaps praise on the ‘Snail’, and Hubbard has admitted to using this stroke in competitions prior to the above putt.

    The Telegraph likens the stroke to “a street cleaner attempting to remove a piece of chewing gum from his brush”, which seems apt.

    Thankfully, Hubbard was slightly more graceful when he dropped to his knee on the 18th green during his first round at the 2015 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, and proposed to his then-girlfriend Meghan McCurley:

    He missed the cut, but the two remain married.
