Tags: Hole in One, Gimme, Putt

I have to rant about it because it frustrates me when I go to the course and play with someone I meet there or play with a group and people pick up the ball when its within a foot of the hole. Just putt it! Whats worse is I have seen plenty of people be more then a foot away and pick the ball up.

The satisfaction of the little clickity clank is the sound of completion. The hole is the goal and then to just assume you would make a short putt and to not finish is silly. I know not everyone will agree with me but if your going to play golf, finish the hole and putt it in.

I am confident I'll make a HIO so lets just forget the shot and write a 1 on my card.

Rant Completed.

Best Golf Tip I Ever Recieved: Pretend as if you had a string attached from your nose to the ball, you do not want to break this string or cause it to over tighten or to have slack. Remember this through the swing.
