Welcome to the first Fairways Optional monthly challenge. This month, we’re keeping it simple: The Lag Putt Challenge. Have as many cracks as you want, then drop your best score in the comments. Video evidence is a bonus, but we’ll trust you. Golf is a gentleman’s and gentlewoman's game. The score matters, but the bigger question is this: Does it actually help your putting on the course? After you try it, let us know: Where did you practise? What score did you shoot? And more importantly — did your distance control improve during a real round? Weekly winners will go on the Board of Honour. And tell your friends to join in too. The bigger this gets, the easier it is for us to hassle some golf companies for prizes. Now grab the putter, find a green, and see how close you can get.
