I would suggest Peltz's Putting Bible to you. He talks about the magic 8 feet which is the Pro's make able range. He is talking 99 per 100 go in. Beyond 10 feet, too many factors enter into consideration, which he lists, which make absolute perfection beyond 10 feet difficult. A high percentage going in at twenty feet, due to high putting skill, is not the same thing as being in your make able range whatever it is, where you never, never miss, except on rare occasion, like to win the Bristich Open as Doug Sanders can relate to.

I don't know; I think there's quite a difference in "Absolute perfection" and make-able. While I agree you might not make near the % as from inside 8 but that still doesn't mean you can't

expect it to go in. If you think about basketball, a good free throw % is 85-90%. That's really good, 90/100 almost as good as the 99/100 you reference. Now back up to the 3 point line; 40% is outstanding here. WAY lower percentage but the goal oriented mindset of "make the basket" has not changed. I believe this mindset should apply in golf as well...

      Two Kids Are Walking Their Bikes Across the Green: What do You do?

      By iacas · Posted

      I don't have enough details to know what to tell you, man. If they were walking across, to play devil's advocate, maybe just wait another 10 seconds next time.

      My Swing (GolfLug)

      By GolfLug · Posted

      I realize the frame cuts off my tail but wanted to specifically see my hand path and club shaft and head travel from A5 to A7 with the grip and posture work I have been doing . This might be the shallowest I have managed to get the club head to enter into impact. I like the finish much more as well.

      51-38 Have You?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Context:  I used to play golf very regularly (and when I'm playing regularly, I'm on TST regularly).  In summer 2022, I got my handicap down to a personal-best 11.9.  Unfortunately, in the three years since then, I've had far less time to play, and didn't really make the time to practice.  I've played a bit more the past few months, and I anticipate having a lot more time to practice starting in about two months, at which point I'm hoping to go back to my old practice habits (practicing daily, Evolvr lessons, spending more time on TST (come to think of it, I can do that important last part now)).   But it was thinking about how different my nines have been a few times in the past month or so that made me wonder if there was a thread here about it, and sure enough, there was.  In the past month or so, I've had a 38-46 and a 45-39.
