Worst Putting Day Ever and I snapped my 56* in half.....

[ghalfaire]

I guess it happens to all of us. I have a pretty decent short game, including my putting, because I miss so many greens. I usually get around in less than 30 putts, probably because I chip up and one putt a lot. Yesterday, however, I had four three putt greens. Not sure why as they just didn't drop. Burned a lot of edges but couldn't get them to fall in. Just chalk it up to a bad day I guess.

1-practice your putting. somedays will be easier than others. everybody has those days. how you deal with them is defining.
2-don't break clubs. it's infantile. same as throwing clubs or slapping a putter(i've seen both). golf is supposed to be fun & relaxing. unless you're a pro playing for a living, you have no reason to get mad on the course.

I must know what it means to "slap a putter." Sounds vaguely obscene.

Wait... what? You can't putt so you broke your wedge? lol.

+1, exactly.

[Coluejack]

I've slapped my putter, but never broken a shaft of my club because of it..

And you threw it out? Hope it wasn't an expensive wedge!!!

Don't feel so bad. My handicap is mostly based on my putting ability, but last weekend, I putted so bad I took 38 putts in a round. The next two days, I played Fantasia Fairways, the world's longest, hardest mini golf course. I shot a -3 and a -10. It sometimes comes and goes, just be glad when it's there.

I dislike that quote, not because I am not good enough that I get angry but more the lack of improvement and silly mistakes that makes one angry. If I do not meet expectations it makes me angry...

It's pretty damned funny from the outside looking in.

Actually it isnt... Im probably more in the mid-teens but I have never really kept one tbh. A few rounds where I kept score this year I shot 44-46-44-50-48 on a Par 36 so im sure that its somewhere in the mid teens range.

Late teens*

If Peter Jacobsen said it, he stole it. Maybe your expectations are too high? Bad shots are common at our level. We should be able to deal with it. Here's a Canadian saying you'll really dislike: "Suck it up, Princess."

And suck it up you have to do, but you still get angry.
