One today caused by a mental error.  Par 5, I was pin high on the fringe in three.  Down hill breaking putt, I hit it too hard and missed the return putt.   UGH

1 3 putt in 4 of my last 5 rounds

0... ZERO!  Picked up a new putter yesterday.  Early morning round, today, with no chance to try the putter on grass.  Had a 15 footer on #1 for my first putt.  No idea how the putter would work.  Rol

Both.  Lag closer, and make more shorter ones, but lagging closer might be more important.  3-putts from 30 feet should be reasonably rare, from 20 feet should be really rare.  If you're trying to hit

I consider putting a strength........................3-putt avoidance also depends on the course you play!   With that said......I apologize because I don't have definitive stats....on 3-putts.....per course.   I do know this....I can play 72 holes without a 3-putt......................."depending on the course"..... This is a hard question to answer accurately!!!   On my home course.........YES!!!!!  I can play a 72 hole tourney...and never 3-putt.....maybe...........

 

it happens though.......................................

3 today, but a fair number of one-putts so it didn't feel as bad as it usually does

I had one today.   I only played 9.  It was a practice round.  I'm still working on my short pitch shots and chipping.  I played two balls after my tee shot.   9th hole; I get out of the trap and leave myself about a 30 foot left to right with about 5% slope.   The crowd was watching...(not really but I felt like it) and I missed my line and pushed the putt right.   It was ugly.   My second putt was short and I bowed my head and slowly finished.   Nobody was watching....Nobody.  I choked under pressure.

I had two yesterday.  Both were of the "tap and hope" variety...above the hole on a fairly steep slope.  The kind that either drop or wander off into two-more land.

In der bag:
Cleveland Hi-Bore driver, Maltby 5 wood, Maltby hybrid, Maltby irons and wedges (23 to 50) Vokey 59/07, Cleveland Niblick (LH-42), and a Maltby mallet putter.                                                                                                                                                 "When the going gets tough...it's tough to get going."

I had four last Tuesday, which is rare for me. It was a new course and slow greens because they didn't mow to give them a rest. First was a 40 footer I left well short. Second was a 25 footer downhill that I left short. Third was a downhiller that I went too far. Last one was and uphill two-tier putt that I went past. All were speed control issues  

By the second nine, I had dialed it in and had two birdies and an up and down.

I've had 2 in the last four rounds.  0 in the last two.   I've been more focused on distance and I believe it has helped.

I had 3 3-putts in my last round. Two of them were from about 30 feet, hit the first putt about 6 feet past. Third time was about 20 feet with a hard right-to-left break, underread it and missed a 4 footer.

 

don't know if I should focus on getting better lags or holing better from 4-6 feet. I still feel like I'd rather give putts a chance than lag them short..

Both.  Lag closer, and make more shorter ones, but lagging closer might be more important.  3-putts from 30 feet should be reasonably rare, from 20 feet should be really rare.  If you're trying to hit a putt 3 feet past the hole, and you hit it 3 feet longer than you intend, you have a tough second.  If you're trying to die the ball into the hole, and you're 3 feet long, you have a very makeable 3-footer.  Once you get past a certain distance, maybe 12 to 15 feet, your speed goal should be at the hole, not past it.

      This is an awesome breakdown. most of the bigger tournaments usually have one wave with the advantage, Thank you for the breakdown. If it is soft then it will be a lower final score

      The Players -2026

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Over the past 15 years, the winning score has ranged from -10 to -20. Mostly around -13.  Here is Thursday and Friday weather. Saturday and Sunday weather. I think the course will play soft. Plenty of sky cover, lots of rain on Thursday. Fairways and greens will probably stay soft throughout the week.  In terms of tee times, I think Thursday morning and Friday afternoon have the biggest advantage. I bolded the big group of each set.  Most beneficial with the weather Round 1: No. 1 tee, Round 2: No. 10 tee 7:40 a.m., 12:30 p.m.: Mark Hubbard, Thorbjørn Olesen, Mac Meissner 7:52 a.m., 12:42 p.m.: Bud Cauley, Vince Whaley, Chandler Phillips 8:04 a.m., 12:54 p.m.: Emiliano Grillo, Christiaan Bezuidenhout, Max Greyserman 8:16 a.m., 1:06 p.m.: Kevin Yu, Cam Davis, Gary Woodland 8:28 a.m., 1:18 p.m.: Ricky Castillo, Ryan Gerard, Patrick Cantlay 8:40 a.m., 1:30 p.m.: Adam Schenk, Garrick Higgo, Matt McCarty 8:52 a.m., 1:42 p.m.: Brian Harman, Maverick McNealy, Davis Riley 9:04 a.m., 1:54 p.m.: Sami Valimaki, Lucas Glover, Matt Fitzpatrick 9:16 a.m., 2:06 p.m.: Michael Brennan, Harris English, J.T.

      We have a very difficult but mostly showy course this week. Lets see what they got. This course offers so many chances to get into trouble it is really a mental minefield. I am excited to see who can handle it and who cant. Last year we got a foreshadowing of JJ and Rory, I am excited for this year Who do people have winning? what will the winning score be? I am thinking 12 or 13 under
