My son (6) and I run up to the local course from time to time and mess around on the putting green for 15 min up to 30 mins.  Late in the day is the best time.  The green is almost always empty, and he can do whatever he wants with half the green while I work a bit.  My putting has been horrid lately, I've just not been making a thing.

Today, I putted the first 6 from about 30 feet decent.  Left a few short as has been the tendency lately, but I haven't played or putted in three weeks .  Second 6 from 15 feet was fine as well, 5 tap ins. Third set of six about the same.  Maybe ran one or two by the hole a bit.

The fourth set of six balls was from 25 feet, left to right break about 7 inches, and all of that came late in the putt too.  I lipped out the first one, drained the second and third.  I then moved about a foot to the left (so as not to have the exact same putt) and center-cut that one.  Moved again, drained it.  Moved again, made it too.  Took one of my kids yellow Slazenger rock balls that was a few feet away from me, told myself to hit it hard, take out about 1/3 of the break, and ram it in there, just for some variety.  It hit the pile of balls now up to the top of the cup dead center.

I immediatlely went inside the Pro Shop, got a Diet Coke, and we left.  Scary.

    • Dublin Coddle (Irish Sausage and Potato Stew is my guess. I would go with haggis, but that is Scottish.
    • These are the courses that I remember, but there may be others that I’m not remembering at the moment. I broke 100 atOakland Hills one time, but what I shot otherwise will be taken to the grave with me.    Country Club of the North - Several LPGA tournaments NCR Country Club South Course - 51st PGA, 41st US Women’s Open, 05 US Senior Open (attended) TPC Michigan - Ford Senior Players Championship Valhalla - 24, 14, 2000, and 96 PGA Championships, 11, and 04 Senior PGA Championships, 08 Ryder Cup Oakland Hills - 08 PGA Championship, 04 Ryder Cup, 96, 85, 61 and other US Opens TPC Sawgrass - The Players Championship  
    • Torrey Pines PGA West Stadium, and the two Jacks and the Palmer Rancho park Wilson/Harding (like Rancho LA Open way back in the day) Riviera (dozens of times in high school) Wilshire  Rancho Mirage Trump National Indian Wells
    • For me it was combo of good drama and total last man standing collapse... But it showed me once again that "ball rollback" is nonsense...when courses are set up to punish missed fairways and greens, that's where the quality golf (or total collapse) takes place...hurting the rest of us because a relatively few can bomb it 100 yards farther is idiotic...that Young bomb on 18 was gutsy... He misses the fairway with that he likely doesn't win, at least on that hole...
    • Followed by the longest drive on 18 in the shotlink era. That is a tough shot and he stood up there and did it. Fair play to him.
