I think there's some chance the circle radius might be extended in the next rules update for 2011. I know Climo is lobbying for moving it to 15m when talking with him about putting issues last year.

yeah, some boy scouts around here put in some brick 10m circles around the baskets and it is surprising how close it is. I realized that I usually don't jump putt (or walk through putt) until I hit like 40 or so.

Are there multiple pin positions? They do it for each of 'em?

Wouldn't it be better to reduce the catching area of legal baskets instead?
You could also improve the catching ability of the baskets at the same time. Maybe by raising the basket rim height a few inches? It would require more accurate putts and make more putts stick.
You could grandfather in existing baskets for an appropriate amount of time, and/or only require the new standard baskets for Majors for a while.
Fritz said:I love the idea of 15M for a couple reasons, one major one, I think it's absolutely silly that you can jump putt from 33feet away. Doing a jump putt from 15M (49.2126') is a lot more realistic imo.
Fritz said:If you have problems at 40', you need to practice more. If you have problems at 29' you need to practice more...
You see where I'm going with this......
Fritz said:Sorry if that sounds bitchy, but I'd like to see my hardwork and practice rewarded and not taken away with an unfair advantage given to people who can't make a 35' putt without jumping...
