I know I know, but there has been a lot going on and I haven’t had the time, but that has to stop. So to start off the posts again here’s the teaser pics of the new putter I have in the works from Chris and LaMont over at Sunset Beach Golf Company.
Enjoy! I know I will be 
And welcome to my personal Golf Blog/Journal “Inside the Leather”. Before we talk about why I’m here though lets cover some vocabulary.
Definition: “Inside the Leather” is the measurement used to determine if a putt is a “gimmie.” Of course, gimmies are against the rules. But if you are playing a casual round and only casually observing the rules, you might encounter an “inside the leather” measurement.By near acclamation, when gimmies are being used in a casual round, a ball that is “inside the leather” is a gimmie. “Inside the leather” refers to the grip on the golfer’s putter (grips were once made of leather).
To measure, place the putter clubhead inside the cup on the green. Lay the putter flat on the putting surface, extending back toward the ball. If the ball is between the cup and the bottom of the grip (i.e., if the ball lies next to the shaft part of the putter), the putt is said to be “inside the leather” and, therefore, within the gimmie distance.
Now unfortunately I don’t leave too many shots “Inside the Leather”, but hopefully thats going to change as the season moves on. I’m taking a lot of lessons this, my first year, and it’s my goal to consistently shoot in the low 90s before the year’s end.
So tag along with me for the journey. I’m hoping to keep everyone updated with my scorecards as well as my instruction progress and my general thoughts and happenings in the world of golf. It’s a great and wonderful game and I’m glad to have fallen in love with it!
