Putting Stats

As you continue to work on your game, start to use 30 putts for 18-holes as your benchmark. This works well in two ways: first, it gives you a goal to have a one-putt every three holes. Second it helps your judge how your long-game was that day. If you shot a poor score but had 37 putts, subtract 7 from your score and determine if you would have been happy with that number. If so, you know it is your putting you have to work on and should be pleased with your game from tee-to-green. If, on the other hand, you shot a nice score but had 24 putts, be glad you have been working on your putting and know the long-game may need a bit of work. By using this number as a benchmark, it can help you to know on what areas you need to improve.
