Three putt

hmmm... I thought for sure when I seen this thread there was gonna be some moderator bashing going on in here lol


My nickname should be 3 putt. Its one of the main reasons I still play rec my putting is atrocious.
 
i four putted a tunnel hole. one shot almost there, didnt hit anything. approach landed 15 feet within the pin. wind was blowing. hit basket twice and had two huge roll aways. took a 6 and typically get a 3 on it, sometimes a two, never really a 4. it was truly a sight to behold...

other than that, barely ever unless there is some wind or a hill jockin me like a fool
 
Since I switched to push putting a few months ago...almost never. Before when I was a spin putter....occasionally.
 
not that often.. mainly only on downhill putts. I tend to run everything but generally don't go for then 15 feet past. The downhill putts + rolls is where it gets me. On my home course there is only really about 2 holes this can happen though.
 
I haven't jump putted in probably a year and have only 3 putted maybe 3 to 4 times in that time frame and I have played 500 rounds. I used to jump putt and while I would make a lot more in the 50 ft range I would also miss and have 30 to 40 ft comebacks and 3 putt almost every rd. my putting range is 50 ft or so and outside of that I just do throw ins that are safe.
 
If I'm out of the circle barring some typhoon winds, my first putt is just to give it a shot at going in but while landing near the basket, soft hyzer putt. I don't putt overly hard so my comebacks are usually 50% closer than the first putt. Haven't 3 putted in a competitive round this year since adopting this.

Wardens also help! :)
 
I ThreePutt whenever he visits family in the Chicago area...usually about twice a year. :|
 
If you don't 3 putt now and again then you're not trying hard enough.

In practice rounds, I feel the need to push the envelop so that I know what I'm capable of when the chips are down. Unless its a tricky green or some OB, I'm not scared to blow by 20' if they're a decent chance to hole out... and sometimes she'll stand up and roll much further:eek:
 
I'm more likely to do it in the wind or on holes where I've blown the drive or the approach. Not every round, but every 2nd or 3rd one for sure.
