Kor.A.Door Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 So I've been thinking, not a good thing sometimes. do putting stats matter? Do they show the true story of your round? Sometimes I think the matter a great deal, but other time I dont. I can have 32 putts in the round and shoot, 84, but I could have 37 putts and shoot 79, one round I missed greens, the next hit the greens, so isn't GIR the real story of the round? If I hit greens and 2 putt my PPR goes up, but doesn't mean I scored poorly, but if I miss a lot if greens my PPR may go down, but I may score poorly because of it. I need to stop thinking.

PlaidJacket Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I posted somewhere here over the weekend that my past 12 month average is 31 PPR. I've had many rounds with 28-29 putts but shot 78-84. You guessed it. I missed a lot of greens but chipped up close and one putted. I miss way too many greens. However, my missed greens are usually just off by a few feet if that. Putts from the collar I count as a GIR. One thing good I can say is that I rarely 3 putt. Thank goodness.

revkev Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I continue to maintain that puts per round is a good stat if there is a large enough sample. Obviously there will be rounds where there is a disconnect just as there will be rounds where GIRs don't matter. The difficult thing about PPR is that there are other factors involved but it is a relevant stat so long as you take it with a grain of salt and don't try to prove rules by the exceptional round. In the end the only true measures or pure putting ability are percentage of putts made at each distance point plus the percentage of three putt avoidance from each corresponding distance.

RookieBlue7 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 My scores would be significantly lower lately if putts per round went down. It's the 3 putts that kill a round.

Kor.A.Door Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 I think 3 putt avoidance is a big stat. I do think PPR is real vent, but I want to make sure as Rev Said, I don't get lost in the numbers, take them with a grain of salt, use the numbers to help but don't get lost in them.

jbil8802 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I 4 putted from 5 feet yesterday. Easy par into a round destroying triple. 5 damn feet.

Kor.A.Door Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 I 3 putted last week from 3 1/2 feet. I hate when that happens. I think I 3 putted 3 times that day. Eliminate those and it's 3 shots better. Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrodeur86 Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I'm with PlaidJacket on this one. My best ppr was 24 but I missed so many greens that I ended up chipping and 1 putted most of the round. When I hit greens I generally 2 putt because I'm not or was not accurate with my irons but hopefully that seems to be changing for the better. Question. If you hit on the green but it rolls to the fringe, the fringe don't count like a gir right? I always mark that as a missed green and even if I putt from the fringe I call it a chip DRIVER: Stealth 2, 9*, Mitsubishi Kai' Li red, 60g Stiff flex, Golf Pride CP2 Pro Midsize Woods: Sim Max 3 Wood, 15*, Fujikura Ventus 6 Blue 65g, Stiff flex, Golf Pride CP2 Pro Midsize HYBRIDS: JPX 850 hybrid 19*, UST Proforce V2 85g, Stiff, Golf Pride CP2 Pro Midsize IRONS: MP-20 HMB 4 iron, Project X LZ 6.5 shaft, Stiff+, Ping Midsize grip JPX 919 Tour 5i-pw, Project X LZ 6.5 shafts, Stiff+, Ping Midsize grips WEDGES: New Level Golf 50*, 55*, 60* M-Type Wedges with True Temper Elevate Tour X-Stiff flex, New Level Midsize grips PUTTER: Heppler Ketsch 35", Ping PP62 Pistol Grip BALL: Pro Pro V1 (2021 + 2023 Versions) BAG: TM19 Select Plus Cart Bag Shoes: Under Armour HOVR Fade 2 SL Spikeless Shoes Tech: NX7 Pro Slope golf laser Rangefinder Frogger Golf Towels, 4 more Yard blue/ yellow golf tees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if I am putting from the fringe, I usually count it as a putt, and that isn't correct,. Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
