• 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.

I might be misunderstanding and am completely wrong, but a lot of posts read like they think the competition ends this Saturday.

I've taken it as meaning the last day to start is this Saturday, then you see how long a streak you can get, however long it takes.

Am I wrong?

Nope Gary you are quite right. Looking forward to getting my round underway on Saturday. One rules clarification question PJ - as the rains are upon us do winter greens count? If not and I have a round at my place where we often have two greens on temps if I play a full round do the 16 holes on normal greens count or is it a void round?
 
I started on Friday and managed 2 holes before a three putt.
I then started again on Saturday and lasted 4 holes before a three putt.
Then on Sunday I managed 1 hole.

Take whichever of these scores you like as I think I'll call it a day on this one!!
 
Having (temporarily) got rid of the shanks, I would have started last Saturday. However, after my first putt, on the first green, some one said I could have what was left. Hand shot out like snatching sweeties from a kid. Pure reflex, couldn't stop it. I guess this ones not for me.
 
I 3 putted our 11th last saturday, so 10 holes for me.

I did not 3 putt the remaining 7 holes though, so does that not mean that those 7 carry into this week?

So If I don't 3 putt at all on saturday, I would therefore have gone 25 holes without a three putt.

just confirming, as a few people have posted a few rounds, but haven't seemed to count the holes they wnet after their 3 putts

I would be happy for the 16 holes to count,but no more than 3 temp greens.
So to clarify 15 can be the lowest round score,and only for the tempary greens,
no other reason.

For simplicity lets keep it to once you 3 putt your out,and you start again.
And to answer somebody elses question,saturday is the last day of entry.
But not the last day to score,your score carrys on til you 3 putt

Sorry as clear as mud that explanation.
Once you 3 putt your out and you start next round not the next hole.
 
Just arranged a game for myself tomorrow. Playing Saturday as well and might have a game Friday so I could have 3 chances to go 18 :)

Just had a look on SS2 and the best I've done this year is 71 holes, but in my last 20 rounds I've only had a 'clear' 6 times.
 
Had a stinker yesterday...7 holes before a 3 putt but then the floodgates opened and pretty much 3 putted everything after that.....didn't help that the greens had been vertidrained and the ball was doing some funny things on the green.

So 25 holes for me and out........
 
I have to say, during my round on Tuesday, all thoughts of a score just evaporated. The main concern was not 3-putting and it almost took over the entire round.
Even Birdie putts I'd normally have gone for, I lagged as I didn't want any chance of missing by too much.

Sad............
 
Leaderboard


CallawayKid 36 tbc
Imurg 18 tbc
CVG 18 tbc
Fragger 18 tbc
Rickg 25 and out
Oddsocks 18 tbc
Robobum 18 tbc
Bluewolf 18 tbc
JT77 18 tbc

JT your 9 holes dont count as it has to be at least 15 holes,and
only because of tempary greens on the other 3.






New leader
Watch out here comes quality,Robobum is off and running
Nice to see some more scores,should have a few more entries by the weekend.
Who will be the first to 54
 
good comp idea, just started recording puts now, 7 three putts last week- EEK! h/cap will go up unless that changes and changed PDQ
 
Forgot about this , I have a medal Sunday and I promise to start then.

I can tell you now though it will be less than 18 before I have a 3 stab.
 
Today Fragger and CVG both 3-putted the first and I failed to finish so I guess we're all out!

18 for CVG and Fragger, 36 for me.

Boo Hoo........
