Most putts on a hole?

[wrx_junki]

6 putted yesterday. Putting uphill against a strong gust... Kept rolling back 15-20 feet. 6th putt went in on the way back.

As far as I can remember 5 was my worst. It's a 2 tier green with the slope dropping about 4 feet and steep. They put the hole right on the edge that day where you had to be long from below the hole or it would roll back to you or short from above the hole because it would roll down to bottom. Needless to say, I wasn't happy.

I might have encountered the most unfair hole position ever last year (worse than the one mentioned above). The entire green was severely sloped right to left and back to front. The hole was top front. I technically only one putted it because the ball kept rolling back to my feet in the fringe. 2 times in a row I hit a good putt that stopped hole high then rolled backwards about 30 feet back to my feet again. This might have gone on all day but on the third attempt I made the putt. My friend was having the same thing happen to him so he finally gave up and picked up his ball. It's the only green I've ever seen where a ball will not stop anywhere near the hole. There was a spot about 10 feet away on the hole where you could get the putt to stop, but that was toward the back and if you didn't then make that putt the ball would end up where mine was. I asked the greenskeeper about that hole and he said they normally do not keep the green near that fast but because we were in the middle of a draught and it was in the shade the grass wasn't growing. They moved the hole position everyday to good grass but they were out of good positions on the hole.

One 5 putt........once. I can't remember my first birdie, but I remember that SOB like it was yesterday.

I know I had a 5 putt in my High School regionals 20 years ago (that was just 5 of my 51 for the day ) .

You guys should have seen the China open on Thursday.

18th Green, the group with Brier, Jaidee and Kim (not Anthony) 3, 4 and 5 putted respectively!

[Big_M]

don't remember, but I'm sure I've had a 5 or 6 on some rediculous two or three tiered green. One of my old league courses had a crazy green with a giant tier and people would routinely 4-putt... it has gotten the better of me a few times.

I think a 5 putt was my worst last season. The worst part was, it was a beautiful, sunny day, no wind, and I chipped it into within 6 feet of the hole. Proceeded to putt, missed, over shot the hole, down the sloped green to the bottom tier. Took 3 putts to get it up on the top tier, 3 feet from the hole, and holed in on the 5th putt.

I took 6 putts in my club championship last year...and the sad thing was that i was only 80 yards out on my approach shot. The greens were cut extra low and were firmer than usual and the pin was put in a ridculous position. This partucular green was the steepest and most ungelated on the course. I put my approach over the hole about 15 feet..and the resulting six putts you could have played the Benny Hill theme over as i putted them....it was a nightmare. Ended up with a 91 that day.

I think 4 is the most I've had since I started really trying to play golf 3 years ago. Before that, I played a few goof off holes in high school and I'm sure I hit 10 and picked up once.

My wife and I stopped to play on the way up to the lake and when we got to the 8th, she 3 putted and I lost count, 3 putting for her is a real rarity. I'm decent at putting but the hole was right on the front edge and you couldn't keep it on the green unless you went ten feet past the hole if/when it rolled back to the fairway it would then turn and run sideways so you always had a wicked break gettin it back up to the hole. When we got to the clubhouse the kid at the desk asked what we thought of the 8th pin placement with a big smirk on his face, evidently him and two other kids were left in charge for the day so they decided to amuse themselves by shaving the green and putting the hole on the edge, when we walked out to leave they were all yukking it up at the expense of the group behind us which were currently trying to putt into the same hole as these idiots watched from the club house balcony. Never went back and the only time I ever rewrote my scorecard after finishing a round, gave myself four putts which I felt was fair since I don't think I have ever four putted a hole in my life.

if there are ppl waiting for the green to clear and i cant get it anywhere near the hole in less than 4 tries... ill pick up...
on an empty course ive 5 putted on a ridiculous turtleback going from one side to the other then back again

[RocketSauce]

wow, 6 putts.... i honeslty dont think ive ever more than 4 putted. i mean, since i really knew what i was doing anyway. i think i would remember if i had more than that. and i honestly cant even remember the last time that ever happened

[Jay-Bird]

Last year I drove the green and on on a par 4 and four-putted for bogey.

[microcrayfish]

I've four putted a few times before. I've never encountered a pin position on a really fast green that has led to the ball rolling back at me before so I guess that helps. There are couple of greens on my home course that could be contenders if they sped them up and put the hole in the right place, the greens keepers usually keep things fair though.

[wrx_junki]

Before yesterday, 4 was the most putts I had and even that was a lot I thought. The hole was just in an impossible position creating a backup in holes prior.

I played a course in the Poconos with a gimmick 9th (or maybe 10th) green and the flag at the apex of the slant. This was maybe 10-12 years ago. My dad got lucky and holed a long one straight uphill. Then he chortled as I went back and forth at least a half dozen times, no threat of the ball coming to rest. He still loves to bring it up.

[Iowa Hawkeye]

I've 7 putted because I got frustrated and stopped taking my stance and just tried to tap it in 4 times.

[JetFan1983]
