The Pozzy Putting Game

The purpose of this game is to improve your putting.

Play

You throw ten times from each of five stations. The stations are 15, 20, 30, 40 and 50 feet from the basket. Additionally, you have to throw all of your misses from the farthest missed putt at each station, and if you miss any of THOSE, you have to three-putt those misses from the farthest miss, and so forth. You’re fiTie-Dye Champion Eagle Weights (3/6/08)nished with a station when all 10 discs are in the basket.

Scoring

From 15 feet, you get 10 points if you hit all 10. If you don’t hit all 10 putts, you get zero points, and also receive –10 for each miss. This penalty only applies to the 15-foot station. The idea is that you shouldn’t miss 15-footers.

From 20 feet, you get 1 point for each made putt.

From 30 feet, you get 2 points for each made putt.

From 40 feet, you get 5 points for each made putt.

From 50 feet, you get 10 points for each made putt.

10 for 10 Bonus

From 20, 30, 40 and 50 feet, if you hit all 10 putts, you get double points. So all 10 from 20 feet is then worth 20 points, all 10 from 30 feet 40 points, all 10 from 40 feet 100 points, and all ten from 50 feet 200 points.

Other Penalties

When throwing all your misses from the farthest miss, you are penalized –5 points for each missed miss, regardless of station. If you miss your three-putt, you’re penalized –10 for each miss. If you miss three times from your miss, you earn –20 points, and so forth into infinity, or until all ten discs are in the basket.

Competing

By all means compete any way you want. Alex Pozzy and I used to compete remotely, with the winner getting the highest single game score until a certain tournament date where we’d both be present. The loser would bring the winner a six-pack of bad beer.

There is one caveat. If you fail to finish a round, all subsequent scores that day don’t count.
