Putting with pin in - sick of it!

Hadn't realised you were there.

You really haven't got a clue, and are just posting rubbish.

Acceptance is key to being able to move on. I suggest therapy if you're unable to move on.

Still posting rubbish.

At least your post count is increasing.

Just back to his trolling best

If that’s his best?
I would also think suggesting people need therapy for having a different point of view is rather stepping over the line.

Why are we moaning when some other sports haven't even restarted?

If folk are worried about the ball staying out and ruining their score maybe they should stick to social golf or perhaps lobby their committee to install a system that actually works.

We are playing golf folks, enjoy that fact....

The discussion has no answer....

I cant for the life of me understand why clubs are persisting with the lever ball retrievers if they are causing the balls to bounce out.

Small foam insert. Job done.

I agree, but once they've spent the money on the retrievers I guess they're staying. I would happily go back to picking the ball out of the cup if our club went back to shallow cups. I don't mind putting with the pin in, it's the extra width of the retrievers getting in the way which is a pain for me.

It’s a golf forum for discussion!
There isn’t a system that’s perfect but that wasn’t the OP
It was the” flag in” .
I don’t like it , others do that’s fine.
At the moment it’s not an option that’s also fine , at least we are playing.

I'm sick of putting #YIPS pin or no pin. make the game not getting it in the hole. I'd be plus handicapper.

Played at Boat of Garten yesterday. They had a great solution to this situation.
They had what looked like the same thick pins at my place.
No bounce outs in my 3 ball.

Yep - we’ve got these and they work a treat. The Cat 1 players and a lot of Ladies complained about the Lifting Devices causing bounce-out so we changed. Everybody now happy.

I can't quite see what they have done. Is the bottom of the cup raised?

It is a plastic disk type device attached to the pin about 2" below the surface.
It is not a complete circle probably to allow water to flow through it.

We are using a cut down piece of pipe which is performing the same job. Simple but effective. The lift out devices, based on comments here and from people I know, seem to be a nice idea that cause more problems than they should. It looks like over engineering.

Will you take the picture back to your place? Will they be open to change?

We had the lifty uppy things but some were getting bounce outs - not had any that bounced out that weren't hit too hard but that's me.
We now have a similar disc...loo,s lo,e a circle off polystyrene with 2 holes to alllow drainage..ill snap a pic tomorrow and try and upload it.
They're set just less than the size of a ball so the ball still drops but its not completely below ground.
They work fine...not sure what they're going to do with the 18 lifty uppy things ?

A bit of a comedy this morning. Several of the pins have the foam inserts in the hole.....but between the rain and the morning watering......the foam rose up out of the cup full of water, so on several holes we had to take the flag out anyway

 

[Mandofred]

A bit of lateral thinking and you would have pushed the foam down a couple of times to get rid of the water ? ?

Tried it. Failure.

I played last night, hit a beautiful putt on the 5th from 10 feet for birdie, kissed the flag stick on the right and stayed out. I conclude i played a fraction to much pace/break. Shoot happens. Flag out it may have horse shoe'd it may have taken it.

We shall never.

Hit a 20 foot putt on 18 for par that was "travelling" smacked dead centre and dropped. Flag out I doubt it would have dropped.

Putt and move on no crying, no tantrums, it is what it is.

Simples & God bless we're playing golf.

Back on track. Putting with the flag on is tremendous, speeds up play, no farting about. LOVE IT

Wrong. Played at several places and each time players are turning the flag round so the inserts are facing and not side on. Even the pros in the Jamega tour were doing it and they weren't the quickest players as it was
