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

      Turning Stone - Thoughts & Updates?

      By StuM · Posted

      I was recently told that Turning Dtone in New York is a nice overall resort and they’ve they have 3 courses as well as many other amenities. A quick TST search turned up older threads with a lot of comments on how difficult the courses are. Does anybody know if they have “relaxed” the courses over the years or are they still hard as far as resort courses go? I do not mind a hard course but my wife can get frustrated but if good scenery and good course conditions she may still enjoy a hard course. What are your thoughts on their courses and the resort in general? Edited for typos

      Day 9 - (9 Jun 26) - Weekly nine hole session with my good friend, I played again from one set of tees up from my usual (set up the bag 4h, 6i-Pw, Gw, Lw) to focus more on iron play in the approaches (esp longer ones on the 4's and 5's).  Used the hybrid for tee shots only, had to play irons in from there on....made for a great work on course management and dealing with iron shots I normally don't see.  Key focus was on keeping ball in play, playing to distances that set up for either GiR or nGiR's.  Played a split nine (5 on the front, 4 on the back - the turn works nicely as both nines turn and run parallel coming in - easy to jump from 5 to 15 (especially when the course is not busy)).  Worked with my friend on his course management skills - offering thoughts as a "caddie" might and helping him to confidently choose and execute the shot he was seeing.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By WillieT · Posted

      Interesting that you post this - was playing today with my good friend in our typical weekly nine-hole round.  He has a lot of chatter in his mind, most of the time, yet today was much improved.  Yes, he went through a number of swing thoughts (like the ones highlighted), but then you could almost hear the switch click off - it was like when I shot the distance, and said its "X yards", he confidently said "this club should cover that..." and made his shot most of which were nicely rewarded.   Came away shooting one of his best nine-hole rounds ever.  For me, I do have thoughts  - not in terms of negotion but rather evaluation.  What is the wind doing?  Is there trouble - left, right, middle - not that I am a great fader or drawer of the ball?  Where is the better landing spot/zone?  What is my target window and what in the distance helps me see it?  I wonder if the "negotiation" is more about not understanding "typical distance for a given club (carry and roll)" and more about remembering how that flushed 5i that went and went or how the 4i that can get there with but not reliably or accurately.
