  fmagnets:

  I think what WGT are giving is the number of putts you have holed from that range compared to the total number of putts altogether, instead of the total number of putts taken from that range.

  makes sense  :)

  Yes WGT gives us the number of putts you made in those ranges as a per cent of all putts.

  So add 'em up.  Here are the OPs stats:

  % Putts Made from 0 - 5 Feet	44.47%
  % Putts Made from 5 - 10 Feet	7.70%
  % Putts Made from 10 -25 Feet	4.22%
  % Putts Made from 25 - 50 Feet	0.73%
  % Putts Made from 50+ Feet	0.03%

  % Made of all Putts ...................57.15%

  The remainder are Putts Missed  42.85%

  Look at it in a chart.

  

  Don't focus on the % Putts Made from 0-5' as those include the tap-ins from all the other putts you miss.  Practice the 5-15 foot putts and grow the % of Putts Made 5-10' and % Putts Made 10-25'. 

  Compare your stats to one of the top players on WGT, Bolloxnbruges:

  % Putts Made from 0 - 5 Feet	45.07%
  % Putts Made from 5 - 10 Feet	19.68%
  % Putts Made from 10 -25 Feet	9.66%
  % Putts Made from 25 - 50 Feet	0.63%
  % Putts Made from 50+ Feet	0.06%

  % Made of all Putts.....................75.1%

           Putts Missed.....................24.9%

  That's just sick Bollie!!  LOL

  Use this data as a baseline to compare where you're at a few months from now.

  The stats can be confusing. It's not that you only make 44% of putts between 0-5ft. It's that of all putts 44% between 0-5ft are made, HOWEVER long the putt was in the first place. So if you had a 27 ft putt and missed, all your stats would lower apart from the 50+ft one.

  Hard to explain, i'm sure someone on here could word it better.

  If it was your 1st ever trip to the green and you landed 27 feet from the pin, leave that putt inches short and sink the 2nd, your stats would be

  0-5     50%

  5-10   0%

  10-25  0%

  25-50  0%

  50+    0%

  total putts     2

  If you then 1 putted the next hole from 12 feet, this would change to

  0-5     33,33%

  5-10   0%

  10-25  33,33%

  25-50  0%

  50+    0%

  total putts     3

  "Practice the 5-15 foot putts and grow the % of Putts Made 5-10' and % Putts Made 10-25'.,

  If only WGT would think of a way to practice this type of putting (Putting green or Mulligans)  It's so time consuming to be forced to hit a tee shot, then an approach shot, then all you can do is practice your speed and not aim at the hole (If you make it you've got to start all over) so the feedback you get from that green is minimal.

  WGT, are you reading this?

  Choose a Par 3 hole that offers everything, sidehill, uphill and downhill.

  Not time consuming at all, you can have 9 putts on that green alone, about 2 minutes total.
