I was practicing a ton during that time, and thought I was putting well. But after recovery I started recording my stats, and I found out that I just wasn't that good after all. This book has very little, so far, to do with the physical aspect of putting. It focuses on using focus to help make putts. It's great stuff!

I was fist pumping like a pro yesterday!

My best on 9 is 16, dunno about 18. I'm not a good putter. I used to be around 22 putts for nine holes but now I'm down to an average of 18 putts per 9 holes.

Things I Am Good at in Golf

- Hitting it in the drink
- Finding the rough with my drive
- Staying in the bunker- Hitting grassburners all the way to the hole- Three putting- Posting over par on 18 in only 9 holes- Swinging and missing with an iron

Thanks, yeah, that was a great thrill yesterday. But, greatness is fleating. That only lasted a day unfortunately as I went 30 and 32 putts for the holes I kept track on today. But, tomorrow is another day...

My low is probably 28 or something around that number, this would not have been from great putting though, more likely from lots of missed greens and lots of up and downs.

Mine might be 22 or 23 but I actually played with a guy who literally had 18 putts, two chip ins and few greens  He made a 12 footer on the final hole for par to have 18 putts and his career low of 74.  Keep in mind this is a 15 handicap.  It was fun to watch.  The pressure really started getting to him when i mentioned it on the 16th hole, my bad.

26 putts... finished the round with a score of 108.

Good lord man! If you took nothing but a putter, wedge and 7 iron out there you'd probably shoot 90.

As far as I can recollect I had a round last summer with 23 putts. I remember having counted the putts after 16 holes and ended up with 19 putts. Then I 2-putted the last two holes for a total score of -5 with 6 birdies, played from women's back tee, though. Nevetheless, my lowest gross score ever

What are you having done to your putter? I've considered having mine tweaked a bit.

23 or 24....

But, that's because I'm missing greens and chipping...then getting up and down. On a round where I'm hitting greens, I'm probably high 20's, low 30's. I don't track putts round to round. I don't track anything besides my scores :-)

My low round is a 68, and I putted like 29 or 30 times...I just hit it great. My putting is generally a reflection of my ballstriking...I putt at a reliably dissapointing level pretty much every time I play.

I've played 9 holes with 9 putts, score +1, but back nine took me 18 putts. I'm not really sure what's my 18 hole putt record.

My lowest of 25 putts came in a very strange round in which I started off the round with a one-putt to save par and then had a three putt on the second for a bogey.  I then proceeded to have 9 more one putts, a chip in for eagle, and then at 3 over going into 16 finished double, double, double with an OB, a lost ball, and then a ball in the hazard (stroke and because of the line some serious distance) to shoot 79.  Oh and I one putted two of those last three holes to get doubles.  I average 31 putts per round normally, and anything under 30 is good for me.  This is a serious goal that I am working towards.

    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.
