Birdie putt

I met an incident yesterday. There is 4 players. Player A, B, C and D. Player D is a hcp26.
In a par 3 holes, player D tee off and left a 6 foot putt.
Player A told player D to putt pass the hole in order to achieve birdie.
Player D missed the putt and left with another 10 feet putt and scored a double bogey.

wats wrong with it?

putt pass the hole or the double bogey part.....

Player A tricks Player D into missing a birdie?

Neither.

nothing wrong. if u come up short, confirm no bird.
U have to give urself a chance

Golf is always about risk to reward ratio...

Even for par putt, I also charge and make sure it pass the hole...

No try, no chance...

I'll charge only if the miss putt is not going to be a down hill putt...But this is easily said than done...

Not sure what is the problem here? What did I miss?

Please A advice put pass the hole.... if he said charge the hole then wrong advice liao.

As for me i will putt over the cup. mean do or die.

Normally, We don't tell other player what to do during a games.
Unless he or she need help and ask you. With 6 foot putt and HCP 26, he should know better what to do, Even Double bogey, cannot blame other lah.
For me kiasi, at most push 5 to 7 foots, at lease get a par , RIGHT.

That Golf,

I don't know how to golf for birdie lor...
But I do know what is eagle shot...

hmmm....... Is abt time for eagle leow....
swee ar.......

Whats the purpose of this thread ah??? I blur liao....

snowman,

If this thread means to be a joke then I do not get it .. 1 on green for par 3 .. If ball rather far away from the hole .. birdies is not easy, putt enough for par might be workable if we can control our putting distance well enough after consider of uphill slope, down hill slope .. green speed, break .. etc

OR

Player A given a poor advise to player D to putt PASS the hole in order to achieve birdie> Did player D miss understood what player A really mean ?

Given a benefit of doubt....If A give advice to D, and D screw up, than that life. D cannot blamed A for giving advice. And A will have to learn his lesson not to give tips to D..maybe to B and C. Best moved to next hole and cont. to enjoy th game.

People give me tip here and there, most of the time i screw up but i know it my mistake and will practise hard. People give you tip because they like you, if they don't like you, they would be playing with you.

Last game, Slinger whacked me for being too confident to hit out a green side bunker 25m to green. He advice me to hit to fairway and chip to green to save for bogey. That hole i booboo and blowed it. Next game at Starhill i remember slinger advice and played 90 !

So i guessed if you know the player well, it ok to give some tips, but if its a new kakis best watched for his character 1st. Just my 2 cents worth !

Good advise from Slinger my "elder bro ".

Slinger, I guess you know who I am when I called you this. I am forward to learn chipping from you someday, since you had promised to teach me ...

i will be finished with my BT games twr, thus will shut down my golf schedule n work with my shifu on my swing n short game....

let me know if u wanna practise together.... me go kranji every sat n sun early morning for chipping n putting.....
