Lowest # of Putts Ever...

[underparnv]

So I took a needed vacation day yesterday to get out and play some golf (low 60's, breezy afternoon). My wife and I played 36 holes with these two rounds being two of the first three rounds of the posting season.

Anyway, I played like crap both rounds, but had an amazing putting round the second time around. I'm talking almost Tiger like!

23 putts over 18 holes .

One chip in, one putt from the fringe that I drained...and one three putt ! I only hit six greens in regulation, so that is probably the only reason it is so low. Now to get over to the range and work on hitting fairways and greens!!!

So...what is your lowest total of putts per round and how many greens did you hit?

[Big_M]

over the past 69 rounds... I have two rounds with 28 putts, both with 33% GIR, so 6/18. I have a bunch of rounds with 29 putts, one with 9/18 GIR. Oh, just found one with 27 putts and 3 GIR.

my average is...32.4 putts and 38% GIR.

21, Hole looked like a trash can. Scrambling a bit too. 2 chip ins. and a Hole out from 85.

My best is 25 but that had a lot of scrambling involved. My best round was 27 putts with 12 GIR's, and 12 fairwarys for a 69.

My average putts per round is 31 but just lately that has been a lot higher

I've had 27 a few times, most recently at Cahoon Plantation in Chesapeake, VA last summer - greens there are sweet.

Good God. 23 with a 3 putt is awfully low even hitting 6 greens!

No idea my lowest, certainly nothing like that. 27ish would be my guess and likely the result of a poor day hitting greens too.

Wowsers...

I had 14 (front) and 12 (back) today with one chip in and 5 up&downs.; 26 - (tied) My personal best.

21 with one chip in and (I think) no GIRs back in the 1980s.

My 9 holes record is 8 in a high school dual meet, and I shot 51.

[laconic517]

something in the low 20's , I probably ended up shooting in the mid 70's though ;p

I shot a 37 with 10 putts at tulleymore last year with no chip ins or holing out from off the green. That was probably my lowest 9 hole total.

Somewhere in the 24 to 25 range I think.

This is another "I average 300+ yards off the tee" thread.

[picrig]

26 putts two times. Admittedly, I only hit 4 and 2 GIR in those rounds. I have several other rounds at 27 or 28, but haven't been able to get to 25 yet.

I'd gladly trade some putts for some more GIR, though.

[pshizz]

I have had 11 putts for 9 holes, but i cant remember my 18 hole record.

[shakogolfer78]

In a tournament at my home course, I had 12 putts on the front and 14 on the back for 26. I think I had 8 GIRs. On the front alone I made at least four putts over 15. I felt like Tiger that day! Oh yea and I tied my personal best with a 78 and a T2 finish.

[JonnyGolf]

26 putts when I shot a 74.

I used to regularly have 12 or less for 9 holes when I was a 15 hdcp because I had to chip on almost every hole and I got pretty good at chipping!
