Idea for a comp,honesty needed.

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............

I started to get a bit like that regarding my spreadsheet stats. I prefer to chip from the fringe as I'm better with that than a long putt...but...a chip meant it wouldn't score as a GIR although a putt might register as a 3 putt! Started to consider the effect on my stats rather than taking the shot on its merit and playing it solely on that - sad but true. Kicked myself up the butt (metaphorically as not that flexible) and stopped doing it.

Obviously it's up to you how you record your stats, but most people (including tour stats) say no GIR even if you're only 1" off. Regardless of whether or not you then chip or putt it doesn't count as a putt.
 
Does everything have to be holed out in this comp? ie. no gimme's?

If gimme's not allowed then I'm out before I've started as most of my golf is social this time of year and we always give putts.

If they're ok then I went all 18 Thursday then 3 putted the 4th today so 21 total, and comp tomorrow so I'll start again.
Played the first half a dozen holes today with a frosty crust on the green so I'm amazed it took 4 holes to 3 jab.
 
That was Fragger and CVG's problem with the 1st today Gary. Frosty!!

I didn't even make the green - stuffed one in the ditch again then stuffed the penalty drop into the deep clag right...
Still won the day though... hee hee!!

Other problem was soft greens - footprints didn't "melt" back into the surface very quickly and made putting a bit of a lottery today.
 
Who's idea was this blinking stupid competition. I would describe myround today but the expletive police would be on to me. Downhearted, downbeat, downtrodden and don't stand downwind I've got one brewing! :( 4 holes before the heavens opened and it was three putt central!!!
 
My run is over, got to the 4th and thought too much about the putt and pulled it right just lipping out. That's me done on 39 then, pretty chuffed though!

Come on guys, someone get to 54...

CK :D
 
Golf was far from good today but only 28 movements on the green during the round and without a 3 stab.

36 holes and counting........until next Saturday.

Yes y0u get a chance to beat Luke[i your dreams]
The comp continues now until everyone who has entered so far 3 putts[however long it takes]
No one new can enter who didnt have a round in by the 3rd of december[see rules]
so if your not on the leaderboard its too late.
