Putting Forum Contest
 

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!:eyes: 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.

2000, 2001, 2002 . . . .

In with the Arc
 

I will get in if I get to set up my putting arc.

The arc rocks!

UPP in rainy Ohio

I'm usually lag/approach putting from 6 feet???

Heard that - Done that!
 

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.

I've not missed one for 2 days.......you can use a" hot wheels " track can't you Mike?:confused1

Brilliant!
 

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!:shock:

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!:book:

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

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

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!! :golfing_banana:

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".
