When a golfer, usually a bad golfer, misses a putt and then explains to everyone in the group that the reason the putt didn't go in was because it didn't break or it went straight when it should have gone right or left. This is despite everyone in the group knowing the puttsplainer is a shitty putter and that he/she had little chance to make this or any other putt attempted.
By the time Greg finished puttsplaining why he missed that six footer that everyone on the planet except him knows breaks six inches to the left, I was ready to get in the cart and go back to the clubhouse.

A golf disorder where a player who is not a good putter continually expresses surprise at missing a putt, even though all players in the affected players group are not at all surprised at the large number of missed putts. The Spieth Syndrome affected player will, for example, miss a putt to the right of the cup and exclaim something like "There's no way that putt goes right" despite all members of the group knowing it was going to go right and that the player with Spieth Syndrome was going to miss the putt and then explain to all members of the group why what they just saw should not have occurred.
It took an extra two minutes to get off the green since Joe insists on giving us his Spieth Syndrome version of why he should have made that putt that we all knew he was going to miss.

When a golfer hits a bad shot or a bad putt and then makes excuses for the result even though the rest of the group knows it’s because he/she is a shitty golfer.
Jimmy spends more time golfsplaining why he’s missed every putt he’s looked at than he does playing. He has a golfsplanation for everything.
