Re: Putts That Just Won't Go In
When I played the game for real, if what happens now happened then many a putter would be changed or/and many a ball would be launched into space!! However, as the saying goes "a good workman nevers blames his tools". Golferdee I'm glad I'm not alone.
Cheers,
Rustyred.

Re: Putts That Just Won't Go In
At least this is something that can and does happen in real golf. I'll complain a lot louder about things where that's not the case, such as trying to do a pitch shot over a bunker, it lands short in the bunker... and plugs.

Yes I know all about that one too - very frustrating, but I guess that's just golf and something we all experience too.mwalimu wrote: Thu May 29, 2025 12:08 pm At least this is something that can and does happen in real golf.

Re: Putts That Just Won't Go In
I'm almost 79 years old, and have been watching golf on TV since the 60's. I have never seen it. Played for 55 years. Never seen it. On this game it is almost commonplace.Golferdee wrote: Thu May 29, 2025 11:02 pmYes I know all about that one too - very frustrating, but I guess that's just golf and something we all experience too.mwalimu wrote: Thu May 29, 2025 12:08 pm At least this is something that can and does happen in real golf.

Re: Putts That Just Won't Go In
I spoke to Andrew Jones about this back in Oct 2017, just before they bolted.
He said the plugging model was a random number occurrence based on the impact angle only. (it's bad physics).
Sand ballistics is one of my areas of expertise (engineer), so I sent him a detailed model with the promise that it would be in PG2.

Re: Putts That Just Won't Go In
Do what I do. Doesn't matter what the stimp is. If I have a 20 foot putt, I hit it 22 feet. If its 12 feet, I hit it 14. Get the idea? Very rarely, and I mean very rarely do I leave a putt short. If I do its because I missed my snap bad.
If it goes left, its a hook. If it goes right, its a slice. If it goes straight, its a miracle!
