FWIW, those are awfully wide ranges. There's an enormous difference between an average of 30 putts per round and 36....

.......and of course, putts per round has to be considered in conjunction with GIR. My ave of 32 putts per round is only mediocre when it's viewed in conjunction with a 40% GIR. The same number of putts with a GIR ave over 50% would be much better.....probably worth 1.5 - 2 pts off the hcp index.

I agree the ranges don't work, you should tighten them up, huge difference between a 31 and a 36 (at least for me).


Anyways, my best rounds are 30 probably 29 putts, worse around 38

I don't really see the point of this poll. When you have a low number of putts - say 25 - it is generally an indicator of poor iron play and good chipping rather than good putting.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

That's true to some extent, but my good putting rounds still tend to result in lower scores.

I think it's bizarre that 28-36 is one choice. There's a huge different between 28 and 30, let alone 36.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
