| | le syndrome des 3 puts | Explanation:
once the ball is on the green i.e. the putting surface, you are supposed to sink it with no more than 2 puts. Anything else is considered sub-par. Hence naming it a "syndrome". - On a par 3, you are supposed to reach the green in 1 stroke, on a par 4 in 2 strokes, on a par 5 in 3 strokes, meaning that 2 puts are considered "par" or the standard.
PS: I am a golfer, live right on a golf course. I do NOT suffer from the syndrome but cannot, of course, prove it to you.
