8.83 in the CTTH Putting Challenge; really? LOL Congrats though. :) I missed just one of my 9 putts by more than 8.83. Maybe Santa is real? Wonder if things are ever going to change to give Everyone a fair chance at Every Tier and Every Level?
You have to be a "grinder" for any CTTH challenge.
In the top ten is a member of my CC, we actually gave up on lowest scores and our owner now sets up a target score...say 156.23 feet...etc, and he still is within .02 to .04 of target.
I've no doubt if he puts the time in, he'd be sub 10 feet also.
I don't have the patience for restarts, but some see it as a bigger challenged than shooting sub 30 or sub 60 in stroke play.
If you take detailed notes (wind included) and think a bit outside the box (i/e maybe not dinging it, but hitting early and late on putts), and you have the consistency to pull it off, you'll have low CTTH scores as well.
