Lip outs in golf putting can be incredibly frustrating, especially when the ball rims the edge of the hole but just doesn't drop. From my own experience playing golf and putting under pressure, I've found that lip outs often happen because of subtle mishits or lack of focus on the green's break. For instance, the 'Circumference of the hole' plays a huge role; sometimes the ball’s final spin or angle causes it to stop just short of falling in. Watching Joey D’s lip out meltdowns highlights how even skilled golfers face this issue. It’s interesting that despite scoring only 17 strokes and consuming 8 beers during the challenge, as shown in the scoreboard, the pressure to break 40 strokes combined with the social challenge makes putting even more intense. To improve putting and reduce lip outs, focus on speed control — many lip outs occur because the ball lacks the pace to fully reach the hole or is rolling too quickly and clips the lip. Reading the green carefully, practicing consistent stroke length, and visualizing the ball’s path can help. Accountability, as noted among the top moments, also means learning from each lip out instead of getting discouraged. In fun golf challenges like these, embracing the lighter side of miss hits is part of the game. Watching old cuts or highlight reels that catalog lip outs can actually serve as a useful learning tool and a good laugh. Remember, even pros experience lip outs but maintaining composure and confidence can turn meltdowns into motivation for better putting performance.
