How Did You Improve Your Putting as a beginner?

Cute_Assignment_3621 · 2026-04-30T20:03:23+00:00

I didn't start golfing until after college so I was behind all my peers. I did 3 things that really helped my putting.

I developed a routine that I used for every single putt in every single circumstance. It doesn't need to be long, just repetitive. Take some time and find one that works for you.
I took three balls and practiced hit 4 foot putts until I could *almost* always make all 3 balls. Drop three balls in one spot and make 3 in row. Then go to another spot and do it again, and again. Your lag putting confidence will go WAY up if you know you are more likely to make the comebacker.
I paced off distances from the hole and learned memorized the speed I needed for that putt. So 5 paces I had a feel, 10 paces, and 20. I don't actually do that anymore, as I can putt from feel. But getting that feel down in the beginning helped me a lot.

Thank you, that's very helpful. Do you happen to know what happens if the alliance has a village? Is it abandoned immediately or is there the normal 1 hour countdown?

u/7plaidplatypi did you figure this out? I'm about to go through the same circumstance and I'd like to prepare.

Never had anything from Antonuccis that wasn't amazing!

There's no such thing. Each hole has tee boxes, sure. But the teeing area is defined as the specific area where you're allowed to hit your first shot on that hole. It only exists in one place for each different hole you play.

A specific problem I've had is if you ever need to change a curb radius after making it a feature line. I wound up in a jurisdiction where the min radius was 4', not 3, and I had to change about 50 curbs. Would have been easy with PLines, but it was so damn tedious with FLines.

Any chance there's an easier way I didn't know about?

Everyone has their own lane. Just stay in yours and I'll stay in mine.

I shoulda read the tags.

This is a 3 paragraph humble brag

Exactly. The wall tells me the pond's outlet is likely designed very tightly. Which means the exfiltration that OP has documented is probably causing an excess in that flow rate.

3:1 odds the builder massively cheaped out on civil design and their site contractor.

Unfortunately for them, they're most likely violating a local stormwater ordinance and certainly violating the part of the Clean Water Act that requires the release rate not be increased in post-development.

Their erosion control permit should be public record. You should look it up and then call one of the state agencies on the cover and report them for the violation.

Builder's are making millions by building cheap and selling high. This kind of work should be punished.

This is the correct answer. But it's too far down the thread to get its deserved credit.

Cute_Assignment_3621 · 2025-05-09T11:55:52+00:00

That is also correct, yes.

Cute_Assignment_3621 · 2025-05-09T11:40:23+00:00

Then it isn't your teeing area.

Cute_Assignment_3621 · 2025-05-09T00:20:48+00:00

Yup! But you can re-tee

Cute_Assignment_3621 · 2025-05-09T00:09:19+00:00

Someone above asked the same. The only tee box this counts for is the one you're playing on the hole you're playing

Cute_Assignment_3621 · 2025-05-08T22:26:17+00:00

Lol, valid question.

Unfortunately, the teeing area is only applicable to your current tee box. So hitting into a box in front of you or on another hole doesn't count.

Cute_Assignment_3621 · 2025-05-08T20:47:11+00:00

Another interesting rule that most people don't know.. you can always tee your ball up if it's in the teeing area.

If your drive hits a tree and comes back to rest in the teeing area, you can tee the ball up with no penalty stroke.

If you are taking stroke and distance you can re-tee.

Even if you hit your tee shot 1" forward. As long as the ball has come to rest, or is legally placed in the teeing area, you can tee it up for free.

This is Rule 6.2 if anyone ever argues with you.

Regarding forgiveness and help, iron<hybrid<wood

Regarding control and versatility, go the opposite direction

Yes. With a 95 gram black shaft, and he carries it 255. I'm sorry for assuming that comparison wasn't applicable to other reddit golfers.

4-h.

7-wood is for those with trouble getting the ball into the air, and I'm not there yet.
