You made my day! :)

Okay, well... I'll not actually miss the putting, that's for sure!  This should definitely speed up play.  But I do hope they will come up with a simple way to determine closest to the pin for match play competitions.

Um...  You don't think they'll reduce "par" by 36 strokes now do you?

That is a bad reason to support such a ban.

I've only read the thread title, but man am I glad they've banned putting! Just get it on the green and we're good!

Putting is the strongest part of my game but this could still benefit me. I generally putt sub-30 (occasional much higher on a crap day) but if they drop par back by 36 strokes I think that is a net gain of +/- 6 stroke for me? Or maybe not, I've gone temporarily math dumb plus I'm cooking dinner so I can't really think about it. But hey, shit yeah, let's dump putting!

    • Day 284 - 2025-07-11 Demonstrated and hit enough short game shots in a playing lesson that I can count it as 15 minutes of practice today. Easily.
    • So few of us would ever even come close to actually having to contemplate such a thing that I'm not sure any of us can really provide much insight here. Do what you feel is best. Or most rational. Or most interesting. All I can say is this: whatever you choose, commit to it and go with it. Don't half-ass it and waffle between your choice and the other options.
    • Played 18 holes at Fort Hays, Kansas Wednesday.  It was 95* and very windy. We had to play the back 9 twice because the course had Men's night tied up on the front 9. In the wind and heat, I shot a 56. 2nd round, I shot a 50. (The last 2 holes I played left handed.)  The wind died down a little and the last two holes (17 & 18) I shot using the left handed clubs.  17th hole is a par 5 and using a left handed driver and 2 fairway #3 woods, I was on in 3 strokes. I did 3 put for a 6.  The 18th hole is a par 3 over the water to the green. I sliced the shot (playing left handed) because I was using a 5 iron to compensate for the wind. (Normally would use a 7 or 8 iron as it is only 123 yards.) Landed short of the green and then chipped on an took a 4.   So, my 18 holes, in heat and winds, I shot 56 & 50 = 106, and played the last 2 holes left handed.  Now, my 2nd question. I can buy a left handed starter set for around $200 complete with bag and putter.   Or do I just switch the woods? I shoot a pretty good short game inside 100 yards.  I love hearing your encouragement and positive opinions.  I was diagnosed with Parkinson's around 10 years ago. It started in my right hand and has now spread to no feeling in my right leg below the knee. (I asked the Neruologist how could I walk if I had no feeling and he said, "from muscle memory." ) Then into my left leg and left hand. I am 90% disabled but continue to view exercise as my best friend.  From January 1 to July 11, I will have walked 724,795 steps, 421 miles, and 1,420 flights of stairs. I have to use a cane 1st thing in the morning and take a hot bath to loosen my leg muscles up enough to walk.  (Takes about 2 hours) Currently, I am doing physical theraphy 2 times a week but that may be ending soon.)  My weight has dropped from 175 pounds to 159 pounds. Because my body is constanntly moving. Consquently, myright side is affecting my golf swing.  Also, my friends see the outside jerky movements. However, Parkinson's is a neruological disease and the involuntary movements are minor compared to the lack of taste, no appetite, mental mood swings, night sweats, and foggy brained.  Well, enough of my problems. I fight this disease every way I can and am not a quitter.    So back to my original question. Do I totally change over to left handed golf or do I just change the Woods? Your thoughts please.   BTW, My Dad, L.G. Warner was Texas State Left Handed Golf Champion in the 50's. The reason I play right handed was becuse left handed clubs were difficult to find and not popular until sometime later.  Blessings,  Retired Old Man, Terry      
    • My best shot was BS, I classify as good result. When you try to hit a punch out on the yellow line. Then you just steepen the club from A6.5 and pull hook it way left. It wraps around a tree, gets past the big tree before the green, and rolls up to about 10-FT from the pin.🤣 Then I leave the birdie putt 1/2" short in the heart. I deserved that. 🤣
