A comment SethO posted made me think of this and I figured it could be an interesting discussion.

running it by 3 feet is better than leaving it short.

I know that there are different schools of thought on this from putting instructors. Some will to say to putt the ball 18 inches past the hole and others will say let it die in the cup.

My feeling is almost the exact opposite of what Seth said. I don't mind coming up short any more than missing long, simply because I missed either way. I try to die it in the hole and if I misjudge by a foot, I don't feel any worse if it was short than if it was long.
