“Mother Putting Champions — net 65 on the secret holes.”
The Mother Putting Championship
One belt.
14 reigns.
Zero dignity.
Since March 2023, every competitive Double Bogey round has had real stakes: a genuine championship belt, handed over in front of the whole field. Hold it and your photo enters the lineage forever. Lose it and, well, the group chat remembers.

Every champion, on the record.

Won · February 17, 2024

Reign 09
John G. & Rusty C.
Won · November 18, 2023
“Tied with the runner-up team at +1, this formidable twosome took the cake by scoring par on #8, the hardest hole on the course. Last champions of '23.”
Reign 08
Paco B. & Andrew C.
Won · October 22, 2023
“They had to have started planning this back in December of 2022… the overwhelming evidence is in the comments. One thing is certain: these two can play some golf.”
Reign 07
Cayetano R. & Steve A.
Won · September 23, 2023
“What do you get when a golf coach and a cowboy walk into a golf course? The new Mother Putting Champions. Their photo took its rightful place on the front page of the website.”
Reign 06
Paco B. & Isaac A.
Won · August 26, 2023
“Dressed as a true team, these former champions came for one thing alone: to reclaim their rightful glory. Congrats on reclaiming the belt — the target on your backs is even bigger now.”
Reign 05
Chris T. & Grant H.
Won · July 29, 2023
“Hide your fowl, because these guys are out to get them! Pretty sure they just robbed the zoo — 5 birdies and 2 eagles.”
Reign 04
Brett C. & Jonah P.
Won · June 24, 2023
“I knew something was different today when Brett pulled out Blue Steel for the group photo. Turns out it was the whole damn cake they were after — in a scorcher of a day.”
Reign 03
Clinton T. & Najam M.
Won · May 27, 2023Venue · Tierra Verde Golf Club
“Randomly paired but perfectly matched. These two brave warriors fought through the narrowest of fairways and proved themselves worthy of holding the esteemed title.”
Reign 02
Paco B. & Mike M.
Won · April 29, 2023
“Who just smashed those greens and mastered the art of launching bombs like a couple of absolute legends?! Y'all had both the lowest gross and net scores.”
Reign 01
Isaac A. & Alexander K.
Won · March 18, 2023Venue · Whitestone Golf Club
“They make 20-foot putts for birdie look like a walk in the park… I give you the new Mother Putting Champions! Well deserved after both making those long putts for birdie.”
The hand-kept record from the group-chat era ends in February 2024. Every reign since is added automatically the moment a Mother Putting Champion photo is posted from a completed round. The lineage above is the part we can prove.
The Next Reign
The belt is still out there.
The Mother Putting Championship only changes hands on an announced championship round, not every casual game, and never automatically. When the next belt round is called and a champion is crowned, their reign and their photo take the next place in the lineage above.
11
Days since a reign made the written record. Champions have been crowned in the group chat since. None of them filed the paperwork. Reign 15 is open on the record.
Want your photo up there? Get on the sheet for the next round. The belt has changed hands for less.
Every shot remembered (unfortunately)
The Record Book.
Computed from every scorecard the club has ever kept, and it updates itself the moment a round is scored. Real numbers only: if there’s no record behind it, it isn’t here.
The House Number
Double bogeys recorded, all time.
Exact double bogeys, par plus two, no more, no less. A running count of the ones on record plus the pile from before the score app tracked them, climbing every round as the app catches more. We are not proud. We are accurate.
The app has caught 61 of them live. The other 472 predate the evidence. We counted them anyway.
533
Lowest Gross
The lowest anyone’s gone.
The best team rounds on record by total strokes. Full eighteen, straight gross, no handicap help. Low gross is low gross.
