Good morning spies! Had a mediocre round yesterday. Drove the ball well, iron work was okay, chipping could have been better, putting was inside of a quarter of an inch off. 6 edge of the hole putts where the ball changed direction as it rolled past the cup, but did not fall in and three putts that went in the hole and back out again due to too much speed. 

I have been reading Every Shot Counts, a book by the guy who invented the strokes gained matrix. He says for pros and amateurs over all putts are worth about 15% of your total round. The other 85% are the other shots. So I had 8 putts that could have gone in, so 8 strokes. I also had a ball that went out (brain fart), two fat pitch shots, two skulled chips (on the same darn hole) that ended up with a triple. And some other issues. The thing is all of the non putting errors had the potential for greatness.  The missed putts, just one stroke. I am not sure if the author is correct about strokes gained, but I do now see his point about counting putts.  This requires more golf and research. 

hmm, in my experience my putts are much much larger than 15%. So what he is saying is if you shoot 100 you have 15 putts?

I don't think the 15% is correct. 

I played this morning and shot 75 with 32 putts.  That's roughly 43%

In order to hit 15% I would have only been allowed 11.25 putts. I mean, I wish I only had that many!  

@EnderinAZ - I was thinking about this too. Maybe it was thinking/referring to "additional" putts affecting strokes gained by 15%? Every hole (almost) HAS to have 1 putt. If you make par on every hole with 1 putt, you're at 18 putts/72 strokes (25% of strokes being putts). I was thinking that 2nd putts leading to 3rd putts or 2nd putts going in can affect a round + or -15 ish %???

My dad is a Hot Springs native; his younger brother went to high school with Bill Clinton. That photo is all kinds of weather-related yuck. Sirens to follow, I'm afraid.
