What is a good number of putts to have per round? I know this could all depend on how difficult the greens are, but on average what is a good number to have? I had 39 putts today on aerated greens I felt like that was a good number.

**zoppereurvito** · 03-05-2011, 04:45 AM

I would take 31 on average. 27 or 28 is great and 35 up is bad news in my mind.

Tour averages are 28-29 I think. I think 28 putts was my best. I like to stay under 35 but I've quit counting lately.

I think 31 for amatuer golfers is a pretty good number but less is always better when it comes to putts. I have averaged 30.60 putts per round based on my last 20 rounds. Looking to drop a few strokes once I have my new SeeMore putter.

If you consistently hit 36 putts that is even par when it comes to scoring. That is a very realistic and attainable goal for every golfer. If everyone shot 36 per 18 scoring would improve for sure.

**avaissema** · 03-05-2011, 04:59 AM

My goal every round is to have 31 putts or less. If I can do that, I'm scoring well. I had far too many putts today (36) and I hit 11 greens in regulation. That's piss poor.

**KeestRast** · 03-05-2011, 05:04 AM

If I can come in with zero three-putts and at least a one-putt here or there I'm happy. Last round I had 32 putts, the round before that was 35. I'm going to keep putter track this year and see if I can get it down to 31-32 per round.

**DaleJrGirl** · 03-05-2011, 05:04 AM

I shoot for 32 or below. Today was 31 and yesterday 30, but keep in mind that the numbers can be very misleading. On a day that I'm hitting greens my putts will likely be in the 32 to 34 range, or higher. Missing the greens can mean a lot of one putts if you can chip it close like I did yesterday.

Exactly duey. Total putts is nothing more than a number that in and of itself means nothing (unless that number is 50! haha). Chipping, hitting greens, and other factors contribute to your putting total.

**wrenjmerg** · 03-05-2011, 05:18 AM

My ideal situation is no more than 2 putts per, so 36. Some days it's more some days it's less, just depends on what is working in my game.

**Abnorbprootly** · 03-05-2011, 05:18 AM

I don't even count. The only number I track is my score, and I lose count of it sometimes. It gets a little fuzzy after 7.

**incizarry** · 03-05-2011, 05:24 AM

I had three, three putts today and I would normally be mad but all three bounced right at the end because the greens had just been aerated so I did not worry about it. I normally am happy if I can two putt seeing how I normally do not chip it close. Chipping is what I really am working at. Thanks for the info guys.

**NudiJuicervich** · 03-05-2011, 05:24 AM

anything under 36 is always a good day... well unless i have a bunch of 1 putts that equal to as many 3 putts

**Alexunda** · 03-05-2011, 05:35 AM

I want to have zero 3 putts, but I only count putts on greens in regulation. If its not a GIR then you are usually chipping it close (hopefully) and thats no reflection on your putting.

**infollafago** · 03-05-2011, 05:35 AM

I typically average 35 putts/ round with a low of 30. That was a good day where approach shots were all tight to the pin.

^^^^^^ I Tapped That ^^^^^^

**DaleJrGirl** · 03-05-2011, 05:46 AM

Yesterday is a great example of this. On the front nine I had 6 one putts and 3 two putts for 12 total. I only hit 3 GIR with the high winds, but was a chipping fool. The back nine found me a little better at handling the winds and I started hitting greens, but ended up with 3 one putts, 3 two putts and 3 three putts, lol. Score was 40/45, so some days pay to miss the green if you are going to be a long way away, but can chip close.

**ThzinChang** · 03-05-2011, 05:50 AM

I look at Putts/Round as a marker of my short game. Goal

**Slonopotam845** · 03-05-2011, 05:55 AM

i dont care how many i have as long as there is no 3 putts or higher lol

**Uplillacype** · 03-05-2011, 05:59 AM

Zero 3 putts, under 32, preferably ZERO
