| 42 effin putts....AGGGGHHHHH
So Saturday rolled around, our Captain's Day. To make a long story short, I hit the ball great but putted like a hacker. I had one single green putt from 2 feet and I then 2 and 3 putted the rest. In fact I actually putted off a green at one point leaving a 40 yard chip back up to the green!!! I put it to 3 ft and then promptly missed the putt for my bogey.
Don't get me wrong, Saturday was a great day. The sun shone, I played with some great guys, I hit the ball great off the tee, but man, this flat stick business is really starting to get to me. It's really upsetting.
I lost confidence with the pace, and then started leaving 15ft. putts 10ft past of 5 ft short and then missing the returns. 7 x3 putts, including 3 from the last 4 holes, all from no real distance!! I finished with 29 points. Even with a semi average putter i could have had 39 points!
Funny thing is I played on Sunday at a different couse and putted much better, not great but only had 2 x 3 putts and several single putts.
I know it's all in the head, but it is very depressing.
(btw I count putts just off the fringe, not technically Tour Stats, but nonetheless using the putter.) |
