My putt from there came up 3 inches short, then started rolling back down the hill. I intercepted it on the way back down for a 4. One guy's ball did stop by the hole, only because a piece of Spanish Moss had blown next to the hole as his putt approached. I'd never seen an unplayable green before in the Villages.
Yes, we all 3-putted after all of his hit the green. I was about 15 feet under the hole. The farther past the hole you hit it the farther past the hole it would roll on it's return trip. It was sink it, or have a an 8' putt again. Actually none of us 3 putted. We all took 3 swacks at it and picked the ball up and walked off. Technically, we are all still playing that hole.
