The 114 Foot Putt(s)...!!! May be the longest putt in any competition!

Chris Stanley and Larry Stanley 

During a 3-day Golf Fest, Sacramento Radio Station KHTK Sports Talk 1140 sponsored a long-putt contest featuring a grand prize of $5,000! The length of the putt: a incredible 114.0 feet...about one-third the length of a football field! Drove to the 'Fest'...left my putter in my car & walked quite a distance to observe the contest...the artificial putting surface was about 10 feet wide and elevated on the right side creating a break of about 6 feet, right-to-left! Not wanting to trek back to my car, I decided to borrow one of their 'loaner' putters. On my 3rd or 4th try, I was the first to ace their difficult 114-foot putt! Returned home...hearing about my long putt during dinner plus the mention of the $5,000.00 prize, my son Chris was eager to compete. Sure enough, the next morning, he also aced the long putt after about four attempts! Of course, using the method from my book! After the first day, we were the first two contestants to ace the putt. Thought we may be splitting $5,000; however, in order to win the Grand Prize, one finalist would have to ace another 114 foot putt on the last day of the event. After hundreds of competitors, there were only 6 that aced the putt and each of us would have one attempt at acing another 114 foot putt. I wish I could tell you that one of us won the grand prize, but no one made the final ace...it was just a very difficult putt! I was very proud that my son did come the closest, within 4-5 inches of winning the grand prize...edging out his dad, of course. What are the chances of a father and son being the first two contestants to ace the same 114-foot putt out of hundreds of contestants? We had the EDGE...The Putting Edge!  --- Author Larry Stanley

CAN'T WAIT...Cumbria, U. K, March 2006..."Hi Larry, just a quick bit of feedback. I managed 9 holes after work last night with my regular playing partner, we haven't played for 2 weeks as the weather in Cumbria, UK has been pretty bad. Anyway, using your method for the first time I one-putted 3 of the first 4 greens! Furthermore, I only three-putted once. I can't wait for my next round to keep the momentum going, my putting felt really confident last night."  ---Respect, Craig, Modesto, CA.            

THRILLED...Northbrook, Illinois..."Larry, things started to come together after reading your putting guide. Played 18 holes on Saturday, practicing your methods for the first time...then yesterday got out for 9 holes with my father-in-law. Six one-putts, six of nine, and had 12 putts total! I couldn't have been more thrilled with my putting!!!"  Thanks! Gerry 

THIS IS GREAT...Pennsylvania..."Larry, Short update after reading your book, 8 one-putts last outing and only one three-putt. This is great considering my last two outings I had 5 three-putts and 7 three-putts! Money well spent."  ---Thanks, Ken

About the Author (excerpt)...Back in 1966, I learned a new method for reading my line of putt, the Plumb Bob. My putting improved immensely and I would compete and win various putting competitions and events over the years. Each time I competed in the Annual Sacramento County Putting Championships in Sacramento, California, I was in the top 3 finishers. In 1996, I competed in the World Putting Championship's Regional putting contest at the NorthStar at Tahoe GC...most every putt in their 18 hole competition was a difficult breaking putt and as an amateur I bested all competitors including two golf professionals that were competing and crowned NorthStar's Putting Champion! After winning that eveny, I wrote, "The Putting Edge...How To One-Putt Every Green!" so that I could share my methods with other golfers. Putting well should not be a complicated process...my putting methods simplify the putting process! The Putting Edge will show you how to determine your absolute target-line..."Read your line, take your stance, putt the ball...Ace The Putt!" It’s that simple! The Putting Edge will make you the "Best Putter In Your Foursome!"
