Playing our SI1 par 4 today I hit driver, then laid up and chipped on to 12 inches, very pleased with a 5 as its my 2 shot hole. The pin was tricky but it was just a tap in right? Somehow I three putted as I knocked it 2 feet past then missed the return, proper peed off I walked in after the next hole :-(

I lipped a birdie putt from 8 ft a couple weeks ago. No big deal but it threw me and I managed to do the same with the 1 footer coming back. Walked off with a bogey, fuming.

4 inches. One handed attempt power lipped out hit a slope and left a 3 foot return. Missed that and then finished it out. Was my 4th putt on the green and was the first time I had ever hit that particular green in regulation. Awesome!

About 2 ft for me.... I have this habit of rattling 2 footers into the back of the cup..... Thats fine provided that the blade is square but when your a smidge off and it lips with that pace is adios and a return of 4 or 5 ft..... Not nice.:rolleyes:

About 4 foot for birdie, knocked about 12'' past then had a very awkward stance to avoid standing on two lines and missed coming back. I 4 putted from about 12ft a few weeks ago, again putting for a birdie, walked off with a double bogey. Not happy with that at all.

I lurched between the sublime and the ridiculous all round today. Including a 5 putt on a par 4 for a snowman that included a 3 putt from 2 ft.
Followed that by parring the SI1.
Stupid game.

Playing Bearwood Lakes once, I think it might have been in a Charity Day with decent prizes at stake....and partnering Paul Nash. Got to the par 4 6th, not a long hole but it's all about the drive. I hit a nice one up there, played a lovely 2nd shot in, left myself about 8ft from the pin with a right to left downhiller. Paul reminded me that the greens were quite nippy, to which I replied "Don't worry mate, I've got it all under control".......
I honestly thought the first putt was in. I stroked it beautifully, and the line was good. Unfortunately it didn't take the break, and I watched it carry on about four feet past the hole. Damn, I thought, tricky one for par now. I hit the second putt beautifully as well. But it missed and went two feet past. "Not a bloody bogie" I thought to myself, "after that lovely drive and second shot as well"....nope. I dollied the next one and walked off with a 6.
Paul looked at me, with that look he gives every now and then. I looked at him, wanting to kill him because of the look he was giving me. We laughed about it afterwards. Well I did.....
