Ridiculous. Stop ball at the hole with their putter and knock it in. Take the penalty Bristlecone May 2023 #5

Ridiculously fast. My step father and I just started giving each other everything within 5-6 feet. We’d been bent over 1 footers all afternoon if we hadn’t. Don’t remember the name of the course though.

...about 15 years ago.
Skinned the greens to about a 13, the put the hole on a slope on the par 3 17th. For championship & A flight players, it's 170 yards (147 yards from white tees) over water AND a huge bunker. So, it's already a tough par 3.
There were people 6 & 7 putting. On in two, take a 9. Hit green off green, take a 7.
I got lucky in that my 3rd putt went by the hole but caught enough of the hole to go in as it was coming back toward me.
One guy in A flight hit one 12' right & above the hole. Hit a putt that nearly stopped just left of the hole, then took off.
His first putt was 12'. His second putt was 35'.
They were just going to give everyone a par, but the 3 of us who legitimately made 4 pitched a fit.
So, they decided to give a max score of 5.
But, that hole location was IDIOTIC. Since nothing below the hole was less than 8 to 9 paces, it was sheer luck for a club player to one putt.
The next day they put the pin in a benign location and didn't cut the green that morning.
The game is hard enough. The greenskeeper playing mean tricks is just wrong.
