• We'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas from all at Golf Monthly. Thank you for sharing your 2025 with us!

Idea for a comp,honesty needed.

clarification on rules please.

Regarding Murph's comment - do you count a putt if it starts from off the green, or are we talking about putts only from on the green?

If you use a club other than a putter on the green (hybrid, 7 iron etc.), does that count as a putt?





A putt is on the green.
A putter should be used at all times to protect the greens.
Of course you could use another club and not count it as a putt,of course that would be cheating
in this comp.
 
Got to the 14th today putting quite well then a 3 putt on there, a further 3 putt on 16, then again on 17 and that's my lot !!

Damned game !!
 
stableford in our gaf now , if i 2 putt & pick up , or if i scratch the hole before i get to the green .. what happens ? guess i know why the rules of golf are so bloody complicated now ha . mind you as we are playing 13 hole comps itl take me til sun week to even play 18 , let alone not 3 putt ..
 
Ok this is the rules.
All rounds have to be 18 holes.
All holes have to be played even in stableford,bogey,medal
This is a continuos score.
If you dont get to the green for any reason,thats it.
Luke did it continuos,albeit in medals,so we can too.
 
I'm in, though I'll not be playing again till Sunday. Putting has been the most improved part of my game recently, so now that I have said that I'm doomed to 3 putt the first.

To quote the Dragons , because of this i must opt out :(
 
Well I was out after 4 today. After dropping a 15 footer on the third, I got all cocky and stuck my approach on the 4th to 50 feet. Left the first putt 10 feet short then lipped out the 2nd. Never mind. I'll start again next week.
 
I'm gonna make a bold prediction -

Mine will not happen until at least 54 holes, reckon my score will be 60+.

Anyone else willing to go higher....

Fight,fight,fight.......
 
Obviously we cant run this forever,so anyone who is entering must have
a round in by the 3rd of december.
Good luck

Does that mean if you play on the 3rd of December you are still in? I'm in a Texas Scramble this weekend and wouldn't want to miss out on the chance to lose graciously to an esteemed member of the forum!!! :D
 
I'm out !!!

1st hole - 1 putt par
2nd hole - 1 putt birdie
3rd hole - 2 putt bogey (I actually used the putter 3 times but the 1st was just off the green)
4th hole - 3 putt bogey and Hawkeye is out of the running.

Now if we could have a comp for the most consecutive rounds with a 3 putt I'd be on to a winner:D
 
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

You're a psychic Tiger, that's exactly what happened to me today!!
