When I was young boy of about 13, I had the pleasure of meeting Bobby Locke as my late Mother played pro-am golf in the 1950s through to the late 1960s and perhapes into the early 1970s before retiring due to ill health and she pased away not long after. I`m now 70 so am well aware of Bobby Lockes career and that of Gary Player
yuve seen it all now folds. Thats how to putt. You pop the ball: notice no follow through, just whack. Locke was hands down the greatest putter that ever lived, even better than Billy Casper. Snead said in his eighteen game match with him in South Africa Locke NEVER three putted. Not once. There is no other golfer who could have even come close to matching 340 holes and never three putting. Any of the ones on tour can hardly go through 4 rounds without SEVERAL three putts.
@bunkerputt good name and you couched your argument well: Cink however is hardly even up there with the likes of Casper it is said, at least I saw it once in a book that Locke once went an entire tournament YEAR without ever three putting the same book Mangrum was astonished at the bad greens they had to putt on and said the sonofabitch never three putted and we were doing it over peanut brittle

This makes very clear the concept of "stopping at the ball" when good rhythm is applied.....

@doctornoooo Bull corn. Lots of guys on tour have gone over 350. Stewart Cink for one. Not to disagree with your point about Bobby Locke, however.
