It was the 7th hole...

and i'd had enough.

The putt was seven feet. An easy sink for anyone with half the skill I had.

I lined it up, took a breath, and swung...

The ball tracked well, it rolled and rolled and rolled.

Wide.

Another round slipping through my fingers from my awful putting.

 

You’ve been there, haven’t you?

That moment where golf feels cruel, unforgiving.

The green mocks you. Your confidence unravels.

And every putt you may as well blind fold yourself and swing.

I knew I couldn’t keep playing like this.

So, one day, I decided to make a change.

I knew that every putt felt rushed, unstable, slightly off-kilter.

I realised I was guessing instead of knowing.

I was never taking the time to practice, and it showed.

I decided to get out the Birdie Eye, and start carving out ten minutes a day.

And guess what, a funny thing happened. I started to improve.

 

The first time I used it, I flinched.

The feedback was instant, almost brutal.

My starting line was everywhere except where it should be.

But that’s what I needed: a wake-up call.

It projected a line - clean, clear, unmistakable.

For the first time, I could see my mistakes.

 

My starting line, my aim, the entire process transformed.

No more wild guesses, no more pointless adjustments.

I was starting to visualise my putts.

Visualising how it would break on a slope, on the different greens i've played.

 

Here’s the truth: golf is full of little battles.

But when your putts start landing, everything changes.

It's the difference between your personal best and 7-8 shots under.

 

So if you’re tired of those gut-punch misses,

Try out the Birdie Eye.

It might not fix all the flaws, but I'll be damned if it doesn't start the journey.

It might just be a few seven-footers you start to sink, that'll get you back in the fire...
