Ever had a four putt?

[Laxplayer201092]

I had one today.. Par 5... smoked a three wood, mis hit a 9 iron, had about a 20 footer for eagle. Ran it about four feet by. next one is way down hill, respect it too much and run it 3 by, then miss the come back three footer.. my confidence was ruined from the holes before.. happily i came out with a bogey and birdied the next and bogeyed the last hole after having a whopping forty yards into the green... Some days i guess


Here endith my rant.

I think everyone has had atleast one 4 putt. I know I have its nothing to worry about. Just a bad round or some bad luck.

3-wood off the tee, then a mis-hit nine iron to 20 feet from the pin on a par 5? I'd say the 4-putt was karma. And, yes, I've had several.

Had one on Thursday actually. Was at a highschool match and was on the 3rd hole 205yd par 3, hit 5 iron onto green about 40' away from the cup. Hit the ground with my putter and screwed up my first putt. The I hit my second one too hard and went past the hole, hit my third putt uphill and lipped it, then I finally sank #4. Shot a 43 on that front 9.

Even though putting is the strongest part of my game, I still struggle with the putter on some days.
All you can do is chalk it up to a not so good day with the putter and put it behind you.

1st tournament of the year this year I had a 5 putt!!!! Approached hit the wrong level of a two tear green.

1st putt doesnt make it up the hill and comes back to me.
2nd putt (I think wont do that again) blow it 10ft past
3rd lips out to about 1ft
4th lips out after I say to my playing partners "heres my 4 putt for the year"
5th goes in

Finished 2nd in my flight in that tournament.... oh what could have been

On the bright side the next hole is a long uphill par four that I was left with a wedge in to the green after showing the ball how much I hated it after a 5 putt..... big drive

About 5 years ago down in Florida on a course just outside Orlando called North Shore CC.First hole id driveable 290 down wind so I drive it to the front of the green and there is a huge mound with the pin on the top tier.
First putt to the top and rolls back to my feet
second putt I smash over the gree to far fringe
Third putt you got it down the hump back to where I started
Fourth putt to 12 feet
Made the fifth and told my Mrs if she laughs one more time I will bury my putter where the sun don't shine

I've had a few... hell, I've even had to chip after the occaisional putt. Play enough Donald Ross designs and you're bound to putt off a few greens here and there.

So true, I've had a 4 putt with 2 chips on top of it. 2 years ago on Pinehurst #2, 5th hole, pin was back left, near the edge, I was front right, first putt trickles past the hole, goes 20 feet down the slope, 1st chip gets on the edge of the green, about 4 feet from hole, comes back to my feet. Next chip ends up where my first putt started from, and I 3 putted from there. Thank you, Mr. Donald Ross.

Yep.

.....and one 5-jack, the memory of which will be with me until the day I die!

[Nickynoodles]

You show me someone who hasn't 4 putted and i'll show you a liar.

[Leftygolfer]

Oh course I have. It is part of trying to make the two putt and being aggressive. It happens so to speak.

[cougar978]

The last two I remember were pretty ugly - one on the second hole at the Golden Horseshoe's Gold Course - got above the hole and left my first putt short of a ridge, then ran the second one 10 ft past, missed coming back.

In June at the Pen-Am, I 4-putted 15 at Deer Run - part of an earth-shattering 80 on Sunday.

[allin]

Of course I have, but I have successfully removed them from my memory, I couldn't tell you when or where. I am sure it has been several years.

[Fourputt]

Nope....never.






I swore when I came up with this user name that I'd never, ever do anything to live up to it. That said, I've probably had one, but it's a very rare occurrence. I certainly can't remember the last time.

Is it a 4 putt if you hit your second "putt" from off the green? haha...

[goblue107501]

I can remember one (there may be others, I just don't remember). The embarrassing thing about it was that it was during a 2 person scramble and our first putt was only about 4 feet away. We bogeyed our 1st hole and then on the 2nd hole we had about 4 feet. The cup was right on the edge of a tiered slope. My partner missed and went down the hill, I lipped out and went down the hill. Next putt didn't make it up and came back down to where we were. Then we got it on the top level finally and made the next putt for a double bogey 6. +3 after 2 holes. We did get it back to 9 under after 17 and finished at 8 under (it was an easy course). Finished in 2nd. Without the 4-putt, who knows.

Nah thats a Texas wedge. (when you put from the fringe or off the green) I used to do that before i mastered the 7i-PW bumb and run.
