I’m annoyed for letting this bother me, but it ended up ruining my round a bit and I’m intrigued to see thoughts 😂. Context we were playing a 2v2 9 hole friendly game of matchplay, no money on the line or anything just to make the back 9 interesting. After 4 holes we’re all square and myself and player on the opposite team have 2 putts that we should make for par, I go first hit an awful putt and pick the ball up as the opposing player has a chance to win the hole, he then lips out unbelievably (shocking putting from both of us) and taps in for bogey. He then says ‘we’re 1 up’ to which I questioned and it was because he hadn’t give me my putt for bogey and I’d picked it up. Now obviously I know per the rules this would be correct but my ball was like 5 inches from the hole and I thought nothing of it. Am I in the wrong for being annoyed by this because it’s the letter of the law or is he being a bit of a dick?

How was your putting this year compared to last season? Did you finally figure something out, or are those frustrating 3-putts still haunting you?

If you improved, what made the biggest difference? Did you work on something during the offseason, change your putting routine, take a lesson, try a new drill, or have one of those lightbulb moments during the season when something just clicked?

Share your experience in the comments. You never know — something that worked for you might be exactly what another golfer needs to hear before next season.

And if you're still struggling on the greens, jump in with a question. Maybe someone here has the answer you've been looking for!

Been struggling hitting greens from 100 and in. It'll be nice to hear somethings that have helped others.

Once every couple rounds my grip will slip during transition and lead to a wide open clubface and a slice that will go OB, into a parallel fairway, or into a hazard depending on what is right. Think a full hole miss. It’s probably only once every 5 rounds but it is enough to drive me nuts and ruin some pretty good rounds. It only happens with Driver, which, admittedly I probably swing harder than the rest of my clubs. For context, I have pretty neutral grip maybe just a tad strong. I’m a 3.1 hdcp. Swing speed is in the 120’s. I wear a large glove or XL cadet. I use Winn Drytac midsize grips. I clean them regularly with Geko. This happens in all types of conditions. Cold, warm, dry, humid doesn’t seem to matter. Does anyone else struggle with this? Any tips on how to avoid it?

Thanks in Advance.
