So I played a great course today. Waverly GC in Plyouth mass. Great experience. But it didn't start out that great...

I was rushed to the first hole as a single, no time to do any putting. I hit it in reg, and promptly putt my ball back off the green... WOWZA! I guess that's what a real, fast putting green plays like. I ended up 4 putting the hole. I can't remember the last time I 4 putt a hole. I ended up shooting an 81 with... 37 putts... DAMN!

81 with 37 putts? That's CRAZY. You must have hit a ton of G.I.R.?

Good job on the ballstriking though.

I 4-putted once this year from like 40 feet. It was pretty pathetic.

lol I haven't 4 putted yet this year, but I have 3 putted quite a bunch. My course has very, very, very, insanely fast greens. I can recall instances where I barely tapped the ball at all, and it rolled uphill off the green 30 feet away.

Last week I had my first 4 putt (almost a 5 putt) in at least a year, maybe a couple years. It was a par with big sloped green and I was a long way off on a green that is normally much faster than other greens on course. The green was wet and slow despite being a downhill slider so my first putt came up about 20 feet short (yea, I know I'm that good). Second putt was still about 6 feet short (on days when that green is fast that's about the point where putts will often end up rolling 10 feet off the green). My third putt I made sure not to be short again and it just slid across top of hole and rolled about 4 feet down and the across the slope leaving a relatively easy fouth putt up the hill with very little break. I just barely got that one in as it rolled around cup to drop.

A couple years ago I had my only 6 putt ever on a hole that was cut on the very edge of a steep slope - 4 inches past hole from above would be 10 feet past). The greens were lightening fast that day (long dry spell). From 10+ feet below the hole I hit 2 straight putts that didn't quite get to hole and came back to me, each further away than the last. My 3rd putt ran about 10 feet past as I wasn't about to come up short again. 4th putt was 4 feet short as I was trying to baby it then my 5th putt just rolled over edge and ended up down the hill again, about 12 feet or so. But being the clutch player I am I was able to hole that 6th putt.

I absolutely hate when they cut holes in places like that; save that stuff for the guys on TV. The only thing that does is create the potential for slow play since nearly every player on the course is going to struggle there. Although I haven't 4 putted in a while, I've had a few 3 putts lately from inside of 10 feet, which bothers me even more I think.

Playing regularly again after a few years off. Started playing in 1999.

Yeah 8/14 fairways, 12 GIR. Very very good for me. Probably helped that I was playing a reasonably forgiving course though, and in conditions which are much better than I'm used to.

I had the 4 putt and two 3 putts. Honestly though, if you had asked me right after I smoked my first putt off the green... I would have taken 37 putts in a heartbeat. I was feeling pretty rattled, especially since I was playing with people I didn't know.

I can't recall the last time I had a 4 putt. My secret is a short memory and the mentality of a relief pitcher :)

I have absolutly no feel for putting these days. 4 putts are a norm for me. At lease one every round or two. 3 putt average is about 10 per round. If I could putt half ass I'd be a mid teen HC'er.

    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
