    I have been making about 50 % more lip outs than normal today.

    OK I am not aiming well enough ! fair enough.  But the players I have been up against have been missing putts like crazy, even those that I normally know make 15 footers 11 out of 10 times .

    I have never seen so many lip outs as today , this day (monday)  was this just me or ? 

    stroke games, mp and alts, they were all just bending around the hole as if there was antigravity surrounding the holes today ?

    I know I'm gonna hear the usual crybaby comments but I don't care. I'm gonna vent here because you seem to be frustrated too.

    I get the lip out because certain short putts require you to hit it quite firmly downhill. If you don't get the line just right, it lips out real easy. I been doing that too much and it pisses me off.

    If you don't get the speed of a putt just right, I find that lip outs occur more if I tend to hit it a little too firm. But if you don't hit it firmly enough, you aint gonna make the putt so it's kind of a catch 22 there.

    I have been so gawd damn frustrated latley with this putting I'm thinking of taking some time off. It's like the dame thing don't want me to have a killer round. 40 ft putts stopping 2 inchs from the hole. It's getting to where, why in the hell smack my own toe with a hammer anymore, for fun? meh

    But I feel you. The answer is to get the speed and of course the line correctly.

    Then of course you have the blatent rip-offs, yesterday I lipped out on a sure tap in from "get this" 2" (thats 2 inches) away.

    Sometimes there are days you just should not play...lol
