How many three-putts (or more) did you have today?

[woodzie264]

So, as a cousin thread to the "What did you shoot today?" and the "Shot of the Week" threads, I thought it may be nice to have a place where we can all vent about our three/four/even five-putts of our recent round....after all misery loves company!

To start it off, I had FOUR three-putts today.  I just couldn't lag to save my life. I'd leave it 8-10 ft short or blow it 7 ft past the cup. Easily one of my worst putting performances of the year. I still managed to shoot an 85 (13.7) which was so-so for me, but geesh!

Only 1 three putt today, but I couldn't get my glutes firing so I was pushing a lot of shots

[Rip62]

Only one for me today. Driver was pretty solid but the rest of my game was a disaster.

[No Mulligans]

 Three three putts!

[Patch]

None today. Maybe next week.

I played Tuesday and had one four putt! followed by a three putt!  7 putts in two holes.   Luckily, I still hit the ball well but this was a different course, different greens and ....  I didn't warm up on the greens before we played and they were slower than what I've been playing.     Still no excuse... I have to work on lag putting.   I hit almost everything from 4' and in but my lag putts were 60' ..

I almost said "the sun was in my eyes, my glove was too small, my shoes were tied too tight...I just need to work on my putting.

this was how i felt today - I felt like never held a putter in my hand

Just the one on my last round, and it came entirely as a result of the approach shot. On a par 5 I was within 50 yards of the pin in 2. I was in perfect position on the fairway to attack the pin. I bailed somewhat on the pitch shot. It pitched way short left, hit a huge downslope, jumped forward beyond the pin, ended up 25 feet from the pin. I was pissed off, so instead of concentrating and giving myself the best shot at birdie and ensuring a par, I paid it no respect and raced it by.

Sometimes if I've played a hole particularly poorly I just give up mentally when I get to the green. It's really something I need to cut out.

0 :D. Good putting day.

[paininthenuts]

I had one 3 putt, and dare I say it a 4 putt. That said I had 3 single putts, so I sort of forgive myself. I had a good round, scoring 37 points on a course I barely know, however 40 points would have been even better.

I'm trying to figure the math here.  If you were on 8 greens in reg and had 6 one-putts, that's 6-under.  2-putt the other 2 GIRs, that's -6 after 8.  In order to shoot +5, with another 2-putt, you got on that hole in 13 and took a 15?

EDIT: disregard, missed the 0 GIR line.  I guess "n GIR" means near the green.  My bad.

0 three putts today!!!!!                (I didn't play today  )

I seriously had a legitimate 4-putt a couple weeks ago. How many people have done that?

I had a ~50 ft. putt for birdie on a par 5 on a hard uphill with a tucked pin, overshot it into the fringe, putted short of the hole by about 6 ft. Then putted downhill way too hard... that thing rolled and rolled. Made the 4-footer back. Seriously... almost coulda had a 5-putt lol. FML

If I serve any purpose on this site, it'd have to be reminding other members their games could be worse.
