LIV is giving us the content we deserve, pro golfers should be doing way more of these instead of having to buy Tigers putting books 😅

[larifari_das]

I wish I could share the putting green with Cam

[andrewwatson]

What is the name of that putting mirror?

[crt]

Putting on non-professional, slower (7-10), greens and 50+ foot putts are a big challenge, my backswing would resemble a 9 iron shot if same pace! All suggestions welcome!

[chillier]

was curious why he marks the line on the ball when he doesn't use it to line up his putts!

[maxwellowens]

Does Cam use a line on his ball or does he just pick out a spot on the green and putt it

Dear Cam Smith, you are the great golfer, I like your playing game, can you reccomend livgolf to cut down the music while the golfer are playing shots, becase I want to hear the good natural sound of playing shots from you, thank you Cam Smith.

[TheCarty]

I'd love some advice from Cam on downhill putting!
I'm either 3ft short or 6ft long.

[badbrad]

Great nows there’s going to be every high school golfer on practice green with mirrors

[mikecoughlin]

I have no doubt these are solid tips but given it takes me more shots to get there this would take too long if all 4 of us did it. Our rounds are slow as it is.

Again with my fast click to watch this. The first few hundred pga players was faster on clicking this video tho.
