Estoril Open de Portugal

Published: 02 April 2008

A busy couple of days at Oitavos Dunes, near Lisbon. It was good to catch up with Ollie Fisher who did so well last week at the Andalucia Open.  Personally its pleasing to see a players hard work paying off, as it is doing for Ollie. In finishing 2nd last week (his best finish on tour so far)  his 28 putts average per round was a massive 3 shots below his average last year. The putter does make a difference! For those that saw the TV coverage they may have noticed Ollie was using a custom fitted 32 inch C Groove Tracy putter. The same model that Retief used in both his US Open wins.

Again the Donna model is proving very popular. Demand is almost oustripping supply as the guys are becoming aware of its distinct finish, feel and features. Simon Dyson (who is using one at present) asked me this week if we had any left, i said “No my stock has gone”, he replied “Great i dont want anyone else getting hold of this, its that good!!”

Spent some time this week with Carlos Rodiles on the SAM system and fitted him with the new Jenny model at 331/2 inches. I have met Carlos before but never worked with him. Hopefully the new putter and adjustments can prove inspirational this week.

There is a growing trend for shorter putters on tour, which we have helped develop, and this again was showed by Steve O’Hara whom i worked with in Portugal. We changed Steve from a 35 to a 33 this week in order to get him into a better posture and his eyes in a better position.

Finally i was also able to spend some time with Darren Clarke, whom has worked with Harold on several occaisions in the past. We took a look at Darrens stroke on the SAM system and were able to pinpoint a few areas for him to focus on. Alignment and again eye positioning a key element here.

Hopefully the sunshine we had over the practice days will continue over the rest of the week for the guys. Ill be catching up with them later in the month at the Spanish Open in Seville.
