More Putts Than Shots?

It's a great accomplishment to hit every GIR but that's only part of the whole picture.   What was the distance of each first putt?  The professional golfers only make about 50% from 8'.   Your expectations may have been excessive.  

Absolutely, some of those first putts were pretty long putts with decent odds of a 3 putt, but I also putted horribly. 4 or 5 of those should have been reasonable 2 putt scenarios.

I had a very bad year putting this year up until a month or so ago. My worst round I 1 putted one hole, 2 putted one hole, 3 putted 13 holes an 4 putted the rest. Many of these putts started from 5 feet or less. I couldn't hit any line I picked and I either batted it 4 feet past the hole or left it 2 feet short. If I'd have been a club throwing kind of guy that putter would be sleeping with the fishes right now.
