Woof...that's rough.

I four putted once last year, and (fortunately...knock on wood) 0 times this year. I hate 3 putting...4 putting is a nightmare.

Makes me feel better (not really). ;-) I three putted today from about 15 feet and I'm going to be mad about it for a long time. His game was just a bit more important than mine so I don't even want to know how he feels.

I know how Rory feels plus 1.  I had the unfortunate experience of 5 putting today.  lol  Too make matters worse, it was on a Par 3.  The hole is 94 yards straight up hill.  You can just barely see the top of the flag from the tee box.  If I use a 9 iron, I'm in the sand bunkers in front.  Been there done that.  I hit my 8 iron a little left and when I got up there I couldn't find it.  I walked all over but thought it might have kicked off and down into a steep ravine.  I even checked all over the out of bounds on the back side.  I seen a guy just getting to the green before me so I thought I better get a move on.  I dropped a ball at the edge of the woods and flopped a shot about 20 feet past the hole.  I walked towards it and seen my original ball about 6 inches into the second cut around the green.  I flopped that one out of the high stuff about 15 ft past the hole.  I then marked it and putted it past about 5 ft.  I marked it again and then I had 3 run around the lip putts before draining a 5" putt like a pro.  I guess I should have used the marker in hindsight.  Rory looked like he was hurrying just like me.

And I thought Snedeker's from a few years ago was bad... That's gotta be the worst four putt I've ever seen.

I was there today. It was not pretty and he seemed uninterested after that. Didn't even stick around to sign autographs for the kids. Some days are just like that.

Happy Gilmore was a Hack!

I can't believe this is even a topic.   That being said I bet he wishes he took a little more time on his 2nd putt.  Its one of those where you need to take a good look to make sure your seeing your line correctly.  Ive missed a lot (or should I say a ton) of 4 footers when I took them for granted. Most of the time its because your just pissed you missed the previous putt ha ha.  He will get it together tomorrow but that might cost hit the win this weekend.

It never happens to people who give themselves putts. Funny that. :-P

I had a 6 foot sidehill putt yesterday. If I had missed it I would have had the same distance coming back.

Also , many players haven't even seen extreme breaks on fast greens.

That isn't to say that Rory wasn't a little careless.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

My mom would have told me I could "pick it up behind the at." :smartass:

(Sorry. Couldn't resist.)

It's been a while since I 4 putted, but I am quite positive there are some just waiting to happen in my putting future.

In Mcllroy's case, it was just his turn.

Yep.

I hit a long lag to about two feet the other day lipped out the the 2 footer, then (same round) I missed my line by a hair on another 2 footer and just burned the edge. My buddy said, "see, that's why you should pick those up". He was serious too.

      Are You "Loyal" to One Golf Ball?

      By 03Bird ·

      Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.

      A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.

      Womens League .Golf Top Level Domain Name

      By iacas ·

      I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
