Why doesn't it count if a person makes a long putt in the putting sweeps? It seems to me that the longest putt made should be reflected in their stats. And I wrong here??
I would guess that it's because you can make the same putt over an over again from exactly the same spot.
The stats, if not especially announced to CTTH etc., only count for ranked (incl. tourney) strokeplay rounds. This applies to the longest putt.
