Putting Question

[Lefty22]

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...
