What Putting Stats Means and Why It Matters

Putting stats show where strokes leak on the green, but only if you track numbers you can act on.

Keep the numbers useful

Putting stats are not about proving whether you are a good putter. They are about finding the next practice priority. Track three things first: putts inside six feet, three-putt holes, and first-putt distance. That is enough to reveal whether the problem is start line, speed, or leaving approach shots in awkward places.

Context matters

Thirty putts can be excellent if you hit every green and leave 40-footers. It can be poor if you chipped to six feet all day. Pair the number with the situation.

The goal

Use stats to ask better questions, not to punish yourself after every miss.
