WalkerH Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 3 putts have the biggest impact. I would tie 3 putts to short game as well. I can miss most fairways but still end up near the green in either 2 shots or 3 shots depending on what par the hole is. Eliminating 3 putts would put the average golfer at around 8-12 over par. Avoid 3 putts and knock a few close with some one putts and you drop that score just a little lower. Also, I'd add that if you're hitting the fairway most of the time, you are likely good enough that 3 putts are hopefully far and few in between. cksurfdude and silver & black 2 Quote Driver: Callaway Paradym X 5-Wood: Taylormade Burner Irons: Paradym 4-AW Wedges: 52 deg Cleveland RTX 588, 56 deg Vokey SM4 Putter: Nike OZ 5 Golf Balls: Vice Pro Plus Drip Lime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolter1 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Depending upin the round, it could be either one for me. Since my GIR is not that good, my short game tends to keep my putting in check. What causes the round where three putts become an issue is when my home course suddenly changes green speeds which results in my feel being thrown awry. cksurfdude 1 Quote Driver: Ping G430 SFT 10.5 Fairway Woods: Ping SFT G425 3-5 Hybrid Ping G410 4H Irons; Ping G425 5-LW Putter: Ping Anser 2 Ball: Titleist Tour Speed/AVX Bag: Titleist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscipleofPenick Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Absolutely agree. The rough on public courses isn't penal enough to deter me or make me worry about hitting into it. Now if I get wild and wind up in the trees, yes that becomes a concern. But hitting the rough isn't going to stop me from making pars, 3 putts definitely will. cksurfdude and silver & black 2 Quote Take Dead Aim Driver: PXG 0211 10.5* Fairway: Titleist 917 F3 15* Hybrid: Adams Idea Pro Boxer Gold 18* Irons: MacGregor MT-86 Pro Wedges: Vokey 50/54/58 Putter: SeeMore X2 Costa del Mar Ball: Srixon Z-Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
