After recently reading that Luke Donald had gone over 900 holes[correct me if wrong]
without 3 putting.
How about a forum comp.
As the title says honesty required.
Everyone gets 1 go,else we could be going for years,starting now.
Basically seeing how many holes you can go without 3 putting,no gimmies ever.
Then post your total.
Simples.
 
start Jan 1st

dont think I've gone more than 2 holes..................hence why a new shiny putter will make me a putting guru....in my head
 
I'm in, though in all likelihood a load of us will go out and hit the opening hole in regulation on a cold damp day and leave the first putt way too short and trudge off with a three putt bogey! :D

Ah, I see the Homer school of positive thought is strong in you. At least race the first one past, missing one on the way back is so much more disappointing!! :-)

LMAO! Yes the force of failure is strong in this one ;) That and the fact that is exactly what I did last time out :o.

On an aside the funny thing is I think I have a much higher ratio of converting the return putt than sinking it when I leave it short. Not scientifically proven of course but certainly my perception. Need to be more positive with that first putt!!!! :D
 
Just what I need! More pressure on me when I'm putting!!

I'll give it a go and be honest, I'll be happy if I can do 18 holes!
 
Just what golf needs, a load of players holing out on every hole even in friendly games, slowing play up further ;)

Not for me as rarely do I hole out in non competitive rounds
 
I started with my round this afternoon - so - leader in the clubhouse is Chrisd


3 putted the second - beat that!!


Chris
 
A round of golf isn't a round of golf without a 3-putt for me so I'll give it a go but expect to be out of the running befor eI rech the tenth tee on Saturday. 3-putts are like double bogeys on our 7th, avoidable, annoying and preventing my handicap from being lower than it is.
