Re: Apparently, I am now terrible at very fast greens

  I'm sure many of you have done this too but somewhere along the line, I suddenly started stinking at putting.  For the first 5-10 courses played with very fast greens, I was a putting machine.  Now, I can't make anything.

  I just drove a green in 2 on Beth Page par 5 (#4 I think?) and proceeded to 4 putt.  Last night, I played Oakmont and had birdie putts of 8 feet or less on 7 of the 9 holes and finished 2 over.

  Choke city.

   

  Who here has some good choke stories to share to make me feel better?

  Well...if it makes you feel any better...and being this happened this morning...

   

  I routinely shoot 3-5 under on the back nine at SA...so entered a RG this morning and proceeded to 3 putt my way to 4 bogeys...3 putt my way to par (drove #14 IIRC) and totally destroyed the round..lol...one 3 putt was from around 30 feet...the rest all inside of 15.

   

  Excrement happens.
