harper are you keeping season stats? this is cool! the Harper system is fine by me... from my perspective an up and down is any save from off the green or a 1 put i would say. from the sand to anything with a chip or pitch or texas wedge.. i had a sand up and down yesterday and didnt know what to log... i put it in as an up and down and a made sand shot. I dont know?g with a chip or pitch or texas wedge.. i had a sand up and down yesterday and didnt know what to log... i put it in as an up and down and a made sand shot. I dont know?

I still have don't have the answer I was looking for. I think with the PGA

Can someone explains to me what I should count as a successful or unsuccessful up & down? For instance, let's say that my tee-shot lands OB on a par 4 (I'm not speaking from personal experience, ok ;) My third shot would have to land directly on the green and then I'd have to have only one putt for this to be a successful up & down. Chances of this happening are approx. 0. So I guess that in that scenario, there's no attempt at getting up&down, so no failed u&d. Do you only count a shot as an u&d attempt if you're close enough from the green (for instance, it would have to be a chip or pitch shot?)
And what if it's your 4th shot on a par 4 and then you land it close enough so that you only have 1 putt to finish the hole? I guess it's not an up & down because you're not saving par, but it's still interesting to note how many putts follow your short game shot...
Please help clear the confusion in my mind :) My third shot would have to land directly on the green and then I'd have to have only one putt for this to be a successful up & down.

i will be keeping these post up for 1 week after the finish of each tournament the deleting them in the interest of keeping the blog section clear..i think everyone has seen this one so i will pull it off in a day or two. off in a day or two.

Harper this is awesome. Now if everyone had a golf gps we could add driving distance

Wow harper 1270. 17 putts would have been awesome. If I could only hit GIR's I could have a decent game. I guess that's why golf spelled backwards is flog

What about #1 trash talker?? We need to have that.

Busdriver you gotta give us your secret. How the hell are you so efficient off the tee. Hell I thought I was doing good and I use a 3i half the time.

Appreciate the info. Thanks for your time!

Thanks much for the update

for those that saw this post on the main group page please forgive my mistake of listing 17 putts for chazmo...lol it was about 4 am this morning when i was going through all the score cards.
