That's got to take a lot of personal focus.  You can't peek out of the corner of your eye to observe the other strokes.  You can't even listen to the other strokes.  Just have to putt your putt.  That was impressive though I'm sure there were multiple tries.  And yes, Vinsk's butt aimed at the camera would be a no-no.  If he wants to do this he needs to find 8 other left handers.  And that's going to be tough to do, since there're only 7 other lefty golfers on the planet... and 5 of them are on tour.

I have played a 2-man scramble against the same two guys for a shade over 20 years. My partner is a lefty. He is...a great guy and a less great golfer lets say politely. When he absolutely scorches his drive he can get 180 out of it. Unfortunately he more commonly tops it and the 180 he gets is feet, not yards...he knows he is not overly good at the game but he enjoys it.

 

He loves to say "I am the best lefty on the course."

WOW, I never realized 9 balls could even fit in one hole without filling it up and causing the last balls to not actually fall in the hole.

It's okay. He can borrow my putter and hit the 1 footer right handed.

Almost every college golf team in America has done this. There are probably 40 versions of it on Youtube. It doesn't mean it isn't cool. Just not very original. Normally I see it done with 6 or 7 people.

Yeah, I have enough trouble getting my one golf ball to get in the hole. I have to admit, it was nice to see folks putting into a hole without a flag in it. I kinda miss that. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

The 1 footer, 2 footer and 3 footer should have been gimmes...

They’re not putting at 1’ intervals... but clearly you’ve never seen me putt.

Point taken.  Then their backstroke would be hitting the ball behind them..

    • Day 4 (24 Jun 26) - Played the mid-week shootout - iffy day on putts as I had 35 and of late been in the upper 20's.   Greens recently verti-cut and they are a bit bump and long haired - no excuses as I need to learn to trust making the proper adjustments.   Overall a decent day with some solid long game shots.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
