CoachW44 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Is putting from the approach a putting or chipping statistic? What about from the fringe? In other words, if I use a Texas wedge from 10 feet off the green and then tap in, did I 2 putt? Quote Coach W Link to comment
Kenny B Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 No. You just chipped with your putter. CoachW44 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment
aerospace_ray Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 My initial thought is a putt "off the green" is not really a putt. A putt off the green is not counted statistically as a putt. CoachW44 1 Quote Link to comment

If you look at official statistics, it has nothing to do with the club you hit; it is all about where the ball lies. Unless the ball is touching the green it isn't a putt. aerospace_ray, Pandaman, Chizzle and 3 others 6 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment
Pandaman Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 When keeping my own stats, I always assume it's not actually a putt unless it is on the green. I do sometimes record one from just on the fringe as a putt though, if I use my putter and the grass is short enough, as it just feels more appropriate for my own records. Quote Link to comment
Middler Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 It’s only a putt if it’s on the green. But I also feel like I’m misrepresenting my stats when I putt from the fringe just off the green. I’d never consider a Texas wedge a putt even though I do it often.

Firebird Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I almost never put even if I am 6" off the green. Unlike the courses I have played in the US, the green fringe on the courses I play here can be is generally longer and in some cased only 3-4ft wide so controlling roll and distance with a putter can be challenging. The two reasons i choose to chiop are... 1. I generally are deadly accurate. If I leave it more than 3ft from the hole you will hear me swear under my breath. 2. It allows me the option to go high or low with a shot depending on read and the condition of the green. However it all comes down to confidence. If you are not confident chipping then go with the putter. aerospace_ray 1 Quote Callaway Epic Flash 9 Degree Callaway Epic Flash 3 wood 15 Degree Callaway Apex 21 Hybrid 19 Degree Callaway Steelhead Pro 4-AW Irons Cleveland 54 Degree Wedge Steel Shaft Recoil Graphite Shafts in all Callaway Cobra Vintage Series Stingray 40 Preferred ball - Seed 001 Link to comment
