From 25'.. What can you do but laugh? I went 4 rounds a couple weeks ago without a 3 putt and have been really rolling the ball well but on the front today I had 22 putts and on the back 17. At least it got better but all I can do right now is giggle

Its been done... Club Championship when in 1999 2 tier green and some wise guy thought i'm going to put the pin right at the edge of the top tier. Basically if you tried to make your putt and went 2 to 3 inches past it was gone. I made a couple trips up and down than finally left one short for a tap in triple.

I saw a 5-putt a couple years ago in a tournament. The pin was cut on the side of a ridge and the green was dry and very fast. One of my playing partners was above the pin and barely tapped his putt. It caught the lip of the cup which gave it more speed, and it rolled off the green. He hit his second putt too hard, it caught the right edge of the hole, which sent it 90 degrees to the left, and again, the speed of the green caused him to have an 8 foot uphill, sidehill breaker. He tried to ease his third putt, but didn't give it enough break, leaving a left-to-right 3 footer. After missing that, he tapped in for his 5-putt.

I four-putt more often than I'd like to mention. I haven't five-putted in a while but I know I've done it - it's just blocked from my memory.

My course has a few holes where the ball will roll right back if you leave the putt an inch or two short, or it will lip out and trickle completely off the green.

On a related note, last night I saw a guy whiff with his putter . He was trying to give it a little extra gas from the fringe and jerked it right past the ball... really ugly.

Don't you just love when you got 3 feet for a 3 putt and you are so mad?

I was playing a round with a friend of mine a my girlfriend's dad this weekend. My friend and I always play closest to the pin for a couple of bucks on all par 3's, and on the one we decided that to win you had to make par. As I said that you had to make par on that hole, my girlfriend's dad told me about the time in his league where he would have won the prize for closest to the pin for that hole (i think a $5 gift certificate) when he stuck his tee shot to 2 feet. The only problem was that he 4 putted from 2 feet and was too embarrassed to move the stick to where his shot landed and write his name because he didn't want anyone to see that he took a double on a par 3 from 2 feet away.

never had a 5 putt (though with the state of my putting game it may come) but I 4 putted a couple rounds ago from about 30 ft. hole as on a mean side slope. par 5, got on in regulation thinking i'd have an easy par and i wind up kickin' it 4 times!! it's a horrible feeling.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
