Putting Competition 

An Ode to the Joys of Strokeplay

By Sue Hall

14 people took part, 7 ladies, 7 men

A total of 1,420 shots were taken, 509 of which were putts

Two players had eight “3-putts” but no worse than a “3-putt”

There were three “4-putts” and one “5-putt” – Arrgh

Three players holed in – by whatever means – from off the green, i.e. zero putts (Ricky Fowler used his sand wedge on the green at the US Open but technically it counted as a putt)

“We” found the 4^th hole to be the hardest with an average score of 7.29.  It is stroke index 11 on the card. The 8^th hole which is stroke index 1, came is as only the 4 hardest hole on the day (only one player – the same - had a par on both the 4^th and the 8^th)

“We” found the 9^th hole to be the easiest with an average score of 3.86.  It is stroke index 15 on the card. There were 4 pars and 1 birdie on the 9^th. The 17^th hole which is supposedly the easiest hole on the course ranked 17 on the day, with 5 pars but also with 5 double bogies or worse

9 players reached a ton or more – sorry, this is the wrong sport

Two players failed to par any holes and we collectively scored 129 double bogies or worse

But there were two birdies

4 players played to or improved their handicap
