Default Hanging On The Edge
It was crazy today - we were all leaving putts short, but the most interesting was when one woman in my group putted and her ball just hung on the lip and didn't fall in. One third of the ball was hanging over the edge, but not enough to go in. I've never seen that before. I think if we all jumped up and down it would have fallen in.

And you would have incurred a penalty. I know I have been tempted to get down and blow one into the hole a few times. They just defied gravity.

Yup and would have left marks on the green too.

"I've never seen a putt left short go in", I don't know who originally said that, but the a**holes I play with sure like to say it to me, hahaha.

One round we played this summer, one of my partners must have rimmed it three times. This is a nine hole league. By the end of the game, we just couldn't believe her bad luck.

In my group, when you leave a putt short in the heart, you will hear, "I don't know what kept that out." Sarcasm is so unattractive...

If that happens on a sunny day, just walk up to a point where you cast your shadow over the ball and stay in that place while you waste some time "complaining" about how it should have gone in. If you can keep that up for about forty seconds or so, the ball will usually fall in.

Trouble is, that's illegal, but it usually does work (in fact, I've proven it many times).

We were trying to remember how many seconds you are allowed, but couldn't. Does anyone know?

You get a "reasonable" amount of time to walk up to the hole and then 10 seconds beyond that before you are required to putt it in.

My daughter lips out or leaves more putts right at the edge of the hole than anyone I have played with in my 36 years as a golfer. It's unbelievable. When they eventually start to fall her scores will drop four to five strokes. It happens so often with we have a term we use that's based on her name.

We say "you got Meganed".

Megan is not her real name and it works better with her name, but you get the picture.

My personal favourite is to point at the spot on the floor behind them and say "you've dropped your lipstick". Most of the time they're not paying attention enough, so they stop and look back, then they realise what you said and you get a great reaction out of them.

Inserting obligatory complaint about how sexist all this is and how leaving it short is hardly confined to women.

I have been waiting on the other shoe (high heeled) to drop for a couple of days now.

Claire - My friend and her 2 sisters were playing with their father one day. He shanked his tee shot on a par 3 and started ranting about hitting like a g-d woman. His three daughters all hit their tee shots on the green - looked at him and said "no, that's how you hit like a g-d woman."

The high heel isn't going to drop. It's going to be ground into someone's lower back. And he's going to beg.
