Golf slide -
I will embarrass myself every round by missing at least one 2 ft putt
_______________________________________________________
Today, I had a putt that I thought should be given to me and when the concession request was declined, I made a comment about 14” putts rarely being missed. My playing companion stated that the putt was closer to 2 feet and when I challenged that, he told me that his feet were exactly 12” long and he paced off 2 of his feet to the hole. Then he said that most people think their putts are shorter than they really are.
I only bring this up to ask if you’re sure you’re missing 2 foot putts. Maybe they’re closer to 36”-42”? Those putts are not gimmes, depending on the terrain, so you may be a better putter than you think. Perhaps you can measure your feet in golf shoes with a ruler and then pace off those missed putts on the course?
My putt was indeed a slippery little 2 footer but I focused on “putter head straight through to the hole” and I sunk the putt anyway 😁
who begs for a gimme? I had string in my golf bag for measuring closest to the hole, if needed.
Golf partner bought me a 100-foot tape measure reel...regular joker.
shot an 86 today with a 10 and an 8 and 3 birdies...I missed 2 tiddlers and had one ring off the flagstick....just shoot me.
