Misjudging the speed of a green is easy to do for recreational players and pros alike, but when you add wind and slope, things become even more difficult. Scottish golfer Connor Sim made headlines after mishhitting a putt that ended up 82 yards off target. On the par five first hole, Sim hit his third shot to the back edge of the green and faced a 54 ft downhill downwind birdie putt. Sims putt passed the hole with speed and kept going and going.
