Putting Forum Contest

[Mike O]

For those working on your putting strokes or to find out how good you are - I propose a putting contest for those interested.

You'll need a putter, a ball and a tape measure!

Measure off 6 feet from the edge of the hole- mark that 6 foot mark (that's the free throw line!) with a tee on a close to level surface and start putting. Track your highest number in a row on this thread - ideally with your average score or handicap - although that's not necessary. Of course, this will all be based on the honor system- knowing that - you'll most likely see Bucket post first with something like 2000- but the rest of us can judge our skill level compared to other golfers.

P.S. Bagger, are you able to lock a thread for specific forum posters - if so please block Brian Gay from this thread! Oh Ya, that Ted Fort guy also, in fact make that all Hitters, Yes, ban all Hitters from this Thread, also...... nevermind I'll PM you with the complete list.

I resemble that comment.

This may just turn out to be my personal putting log. I practiced for about 45 minutes tonight from 6 feet. 11 putts in a row was the best that I could muster.

Neil,
Now that's using your intellect!!! I've calculated your totals based on 48 hours and x putts per minute- you've over-taken Bucket and are now in #1 position with 4357 putts in a row. That Bucket sucks with only 2001 putts in a row- not bad for no track though. Make sure you check that track every so often- you don't want a gap in between tracks to cause the streak to end. Keep me posted. Just to make it interesting- I'll bet you can't make the next 1000 with both eyes closed while bending down to pick up a bar of soap in front of you! (P.S. But before you begin that - Bucket would like to know the location of your practice green!

Meanwhile, I putted this morning on a better surface - chose a little right to left slightly down hill putt- best in 45 minutes was 15 in a row. I'll keep you posted on my results. I would imagine compared to a really good putter - I still suck- I'm hoping that Hull or Fort or someone else can post a legitimate #- where I can judge how much better I need to get. Although, if Bagger responded to my request- both should be locked from entering this thread- we'll see.

P.S. Bagger, only 80 emoticons!? Come ON! Break out the checkbook!

We need some golf emoticons! I'll check it out.

I made a 6 foot putt today. It was for Eagle.
Does that count?

Yes,
It does! Your personal record is 1. Keep in mind it is not how many but the effort to beat your previous best that counts. Shoot for two next time. I guess wishes do come true! Thanks for the additional emoticons!!

Seven from six today.

I enjoyed this game. Started putting well when I went from thinking, "This is for the championship and $1M" to "Gotta beat MikeO on this putt".
