Summary

Today on the Hack it Out Golf podcast we discuss Aimpoint putting. There are so many players on the PGA Tour that use Aimpoint. It's popularity has exploded. Keegan Bradley, Max Homa, Adam Scott and Justin Thomas are just a few of the PGA Tour players that are using this approach. But should they be allowed to use it? Should golf consider banning Aimpoint? Is it how golf was intended to be played? Should the PGA Tour institute its own ban if the governing bodies of golf do not make the change?
