Today I put the finishing touches on three days of golf, split between Myrtle Beach (TPC, Tidewater) and Kiawah (Ocean Course). All three rounds delivered scores in the mid-80's, and have helped prop up my handicap heading into 2006 (a minor gift to myself). I may at some point describe the rounds in detail, but in summation:
1.) I've returned to the SW from bunkers, as opposed to the 60', as I can easily control both the flight and distance.
2.) My driver is in shambles, I have no idea where it is going. I made good use of the dozen Pro V1Xs that I received as a Christmas gift.
3.) I chap easily.
4.) If anyone has any putting tips, I am all ears. I also need a suggestion on a decent 3W, and not from anyone named Owens.
5.) Coming to Myrtle for golf between March - August is pointless, as gorgeous as the week unfolded. Temperatures in the mid '60s and reasonable rounds on excellent courses (save Kiawah).

Putting tips? Two words....
Cross. Handed.
Two more words....
Odyssey. Putter.
OK, the second one is more a personal preference. But I truly believe that cross handed putting is the way to go.
You did not mention what type of problems you were having - distance, short putts, etc. Cross-handed putting has helped me immensely in maintaining the accuracy of the putts - especially those in the 3-7' range.
If you are suffering from a version of the yips, cross handed is the way to go. It will take a while to get the feel for the distance, but you will consistently make more 4-5 footers.
Funny you mention cross-handed putting, I have been putting cross-handed for the past 10+ years, it always felt more comfortable.
Do you have a mallet Odyssey? I've got the SC Newport 2, but am looking to possibly make the switch to something that works.
Claw maybe? Don't think I haven't practiced.
