Golfspy_CG2 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 So a recent article got my thinokg about this. You’re in a match play match that is on the 18th hole. It’s all tied. Now which of these two scenarios would you choose and why. A) Your opponent makes a 10 foot birdie putt to win. B) You miss a 3 foot par putt to lose I’ll give my answer after reading some of yours sirchunksalot, Jim Shaw and xOldBenKenobiX 2 1 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfspy_CG2 Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 Those were my first thoughts as well. But the more I thought about it. I want the ball. I want to have a chance to win in. If I miss nobody to blame but me. Wirh him making the birdie putt I never get the chance to win or at least continue the match. But I definitely see the case of being able to say. I lost to a great putt.

revkev Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 This is so easy - I missed a 3 footer to loose in sudden death in a championship flight semi final of the Ithaca City Championship when I was a college student there. I vowed that I would never do that again. I'd just have my opponent pick the birdie putt up and be done with it! Actually, knowing the outcome ahead of time is kind of unfair. I'd rather lose to the opponent's good putt than to a mistake of my own although honestly at my level, at least at my level at my best, low single digit handicap, most matches are won or lost by mistakes. My most recent swore into match play was like that, there was some good play but generally speaking we won the matches where our opponents made more mistakes than we did. berkeleybob 1 Quote Driver: Taylor Made Xi10 10.5 Diamana S plus 60 R flex - 44.25 Fairways: Ping G410 5, 7, 9 wood Alta CB red 65 R flex Hybrid: Ping G410 26 degree Alta CB Red 70 R flex Irons: Ping G430 7-PW, 45, 50 Alta CB black 65 soft R flex Wedges: Ping 195 S54, E58 Wedges and irons are - 1/2” and one degree flat Putter: Sacks Parente Duke 32.5” Ball: Titleist Pro VI or Callaway Chrome Soft X ls While not at the same time I was fit for every club in my bag as well as the Pro VI ball.

Making a 10ft putt especially on slopes and green rating can be an impressive shot and atleast it was a battle to the finish line. I can walk off the course maybe not happy but content that I tried and it was just their day. Missing a 3ft to lose I would obsess about that for weeks. Quote Been playing for about 2 years in total.

Woodrow72 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Actually have been in this situation a few times over the years , had both happen where I made putt or didn’t but I prefer to see another person make an extraordinary shot to succeed over seeing my failure to execute cause me a loss and I’ve been the one making an impossible 15 footer slam dunk to win so it’s better for all involved in my humble opinion Quote Ping driver ping fairway tour edge irons Cleveland wedges Scotty mallet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d0m41n Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Like everyone else, I have to go scenario A. Scenario B just eats you up because it's very makeable. Switch the premises around and it get's alot more interesting. Lose to someone making a 3 ft putt or a chance to win with a 10 footer but missing. I think I would go with a chance there than losing to a 3 foot putt. Fun thoughts though! Quote Damien--Titleist & TaylorMade enthusiast.

Swood1994 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 In this scenario I’d take option A 10/10 times. Somehow losing on a birdie softens the blow a little bit.
