I had a feeling she'd miss it, but then I thought "oh man, c'mon, it's TWO FEET."

You could tell she was going to miss it mid-downstroke.

Her buddies should have said that's a gimme. I never have to putt those. You know - because you don't want to hold up he group behind you, it's a given , etc....

Man, that was an awful stroke. Agree with @iacas - you could have paused before she hit the ball and knew she was missing.

How bad is your putting stroke that a 2 footer is going to hold up groups behind you?! I know this is tongue in cheek!

Yea those are harder to make when you have to replace your ball correctly ;-)

No, seriously, she had an incredible season, and I'm still a fan. Hopefully she builds on it for 2018. I think she probably will.

Well if you treat it like the pros that can take a long time! It's not the putt it self.

Looks shorter than 2 feet to me - seriously it looks like about 2-3 rotations to get to the hole so maybe a foot or less.
Not that I haven't missed some of those, but usually with more break. Terrible push or misread, ether way .... OUCH!

Damn, what a tough break for her.

Is it a tough break, or a really shitty stroke?

Idk a bad break to me is rolling into a divot after landing in the middle of the fairway.

It wasn't a foot or less. TV coverage showed it and I can record it from a better angle if I want, but… some quickie pixel math puts it at at least 18".

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      By wacker · Posted

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
