📐⛳️ Thoughts on this?

They absolutely can, and you’re stupid if you believe this.

Did I miss the spike marks?

what do you think of this music video?

The 2nd putt breaks at the end. Looks like it still slightly affected the roll

I just need something to blame when I miss

In fairness the 2nd putt after the spikes almost lipped. The first three were center cut.

In perfect conditions, spike marks don't affect puts. In sub optimal conditions on normal courses that the average golfer plays, you can straight up leave and indentation the size of your foot in their line. Also, it's about respect.

But do they affect them?

It’s crazy, there’s literally 50 people before you play have walked that green walked in your line etc

We all saw the second to last ball nearly go wide, correct?

It's not the spikes. It's the weight of golfers that compacts and depresses the soil. Depending on conditions this can be significant.
