3 stick in my mind.
The first would be this one. 17th green at the Old Course. Only time I played it. Bit of wind against. Good drive up the right. 2 iron onto the green. Here's me repairing the pitch mark. The ball is up on the left by the Road Hole bunker. Nailed the putt (probably 25 feet) for birdie 3 to take me back to 2 over par. It hovered on the right edge for a second then dropped. Will take that one to the grave. Birdie at the Road Hole. Get in!
The second memorable putt would be the five footer I sank at the following hole for a par. I had left my approach just short. Had to putt through the Valley of Sin and left it five foot beyond the hole. Sank it to finish with a 74. Hadn't really missed one of those all day. 3 under par for the last 12 holes. Ah.... memories. If only I could play like that again.
The last putt would be on the 18th green at Craigentinny GC. A ten footer for my first and only ever par round. A birdie for 67. That was really satisfying and I was drunk for two days afterwards.
The most satisfying ones are the ones that mean something.

Like one of John's it was a putt to secure my first even par round.
Up hill with bit of right to left at the end for a birdie, a wee fist pump and ball is now kept in a safe place for the dotage

A 30 foot downhiller with plenty of break for eagle on 18 at Monte Rei - if anyone has played there they will know the greens run at 11 or 12, so it was quick, quick, quick!

2½ footer (inside left edge) to shoot 67
You were aiming inside right edge and pulled it
Yeah, great putt.
Mine was a 3 footer at the last at North Downs.
Little bit of turn on it, didn't fancy it much at all.
It was a club match.
He had been two up with three to play, and I'd played a near shank on the 16th. Chipped and one putted for a nett birdie. Sunk a stupid putt on the 17th to draw it level.
So we were level going down the last. A long par 4, I was short in two, and chipped to 3 feet. He was inside me for 2, but played a poor chip, & missed the par putt. I conceded his 5.
Then I was pooping myself looking at this putt on the last, I just knew I was going to miss it. There were hundreds of spectators, as it was just outside the clubhouse ( well at least 6 ). We were the away team, it was to keep us in the match.
And he just picked up my marker.

Mines was a downhill 8 footer for par at our 18th a few weeks ago. Holing it meant:
- Me and my Dad won the match against my mate and his son
and
- I broke 90 for the first time (finished with an 87).

A 15footer for a par 3 on the last to get me into the play off when I won our club champs for the first time.
I had birdied 17 to draw level with the leader, then my arse fell out on the 18th tee and I hit a shank which stayed on bounds by a yard up on a bank 30foot or so above the green. Chipped down past the pin into the fringe then boxed the 15foot right to lefter to crawl over the line.
