Matt Saternus Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 PutterZone doesn't seem to put up a ton of new content, but they do have good articles explaining the basic terms like Toe Hang, Lie Angle, etc. Good link A2G.

Matt Saternus Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I just read about the new putting stat in ESPN Magazine and then saw it again on Puttzone. I think it's a pretty cool idea, but I'd really like to know how they figure out how many times you "should" putt on each green.

Matt Saternus Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Isn't the should number "2"? Apparently they have some formula that takes into account the difficulty of the green, length of putt, etc. They're calling the new stats "Putts gained" or "Putts saved".

jamo Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 It's called putts gained per round: http://www.putterzone.com/2010/03/new-way-to-measure-putting-prowess.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Matt. You guys have been inspiring me to up my knowledge quotient on putter design. If you can't piss in the tall weeds with the big dogs then stay on the porch..

Maybe if you can't pee on the Cholla... look out for these, btw That's one of the primary reasons why I carried a multi-tool when I used to hike in the desert. Also, a very good excuse not to venture out into the desert areas of a AZ or CA golf course. Well, that and the rattlesnakes, gila monsters, tarantulas, black widows and scorpions.

Having done lots of mountain biking as an undergrad in Santa Barbara, I expected to do the same in AZ. Second trip out, hit some sand and ended just under one of these. The litter of spines was enough to make me thankful that I had two shirts on that day. Bought a road bike soon after...
