Hi guys my name is DIEGO MASCARENO and I am from Leon Mexico, I play golf in a amazing course called EL BOSQUE COUNTRY CLUB, there is a WEB TOUR TOURNAMENT played here every year, I recently played a round and made 22 putts, and my friends tell me it's as rare as a hole in one. What do you think?

Pretty sure I've come close to 22 putts. Shame they were all on the same green...

I think it was 24 I was striking ball poorly and greens very small missed the green many times I had 12 easy chips to within 5 feet to the hole and made everyone of them. I putted one in off the green and three putted once. The green were really flat and slow except for three contour ones so it wasn't a hard course for putting

I think it's pretty good being there is only 18 holes! Did you putt 22 times, if so that terrific and world class. I usually have more than that :~(

I'm an extraordinarily bad putter, so mine is 33.

Played yesterday and had 27 putts. The least I've taken should be around 24 or 25 but I don't really remember.

Not sure if I'm reading this correctly, but Jordan Speech's average (YTD) is 1.693, which puts him at taking (on average) 30.4 putts per 18 holes?

http://www.pgatour.com/stats/stat.104.html

So I would have thought 22 putts, average of 1.23, is incredible.

Putting is one of the many areas that I am working on right now. 22 putts in a round sounds like a dream. Congrats.

Only a wild ass guess... My guess a hole in one would be rarer than 22 putts.  I play a 9 hole course often and I've had 11 putts for 9 holes.

My best for 18, not sure... but two weeks ago I played 18 and had 26 putts.  I do know that round was my best round ever at 10 over (an easy course though, par 58, rating/slope 55.2/99)

So what do you guys think it's harder a hole in one ir a 22 putt round?


Given that you could manipulate a round and have 18 putts, obviously a hole in one.

22 putts usually equates to iron shots missing the green, not good putting, put decent chipping and putting to close to the hole from off the green.

If you had 22 putts and shot 14 under par, that's different.

Agree. I had 27 putts on Monday, but a few were one putts because I missed the green and had to scramble. Last Thursday I had 14 for 9 holes. I shot a 40 and had a chip in. So my putting stats were really skewed by the lack of GIR.

This reminds me of an old friend, Dennis Gilboy., When we played in our league years ago he had the uncanny knack of winning the low putts competition just about every week. I don't know if he ever finished with 22 putts but he was almost always in the 20's. The guy wasn't that great a putter but he was good with his wedges from around the green and we are pretty sure he tried to miss the green on approach shots so as not to leave himself a long putt. Still today, guys that I play with who knew Dennis, refer to any approach shot that ends up on or near the fringe as a "Gilboy" Low, low, putts per round says more about your chipping than it does your putting. Just compare GIR with putts per round. In my own stats when one is up the other is up, and vice versa.

I agree with you I had 2 holeouts and several one putts after chipping them

      Awesome. We were originally going to play Quail Ridge but ended up moving some things around and are going to do the following when we go in May Day 1 Tobacco Road Day 2 Southern Pines and Pine Needles Day 3 Tot Hill Farm There are a couple good course vlog/matches on YouTube at Southern Pines, it looks awesome.

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills.

      3 Wood Shafts

      You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized.

      32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.
