  50027 putts is mind boggling.

  I shouldn't have read this before I hit the tees...I think I just had the same amount on the front 9 alone. Had to quit when I got to 10.

  Yep. 50,000 with the flat stick and I'm still not good at it. Mediocre at best.

  Well done Sweetie,

  Got your double and feel the same, even like John (Merion too) and Mike.

  And just think .... if you hadn't holed all those chip shots and whatnots, you'd have a few more to add to the stats !

  :-)

  Boy am I lagging behind ... I should be there in about 2 more years.

  I'm just under 215,000

  You immediately came to my mind TS, I was about to post about the addict we have in our CC with 214,972 putts.

  Now THAT is a lot of putting.

  50,000 putts Lily!  A very impressive milestone indeed!  Congratulations.

  You deserve an award for that!

  

  Now for the perhaps depressing stats......

  At an average of 15 seconds per putt.......

  You've spent:

  12, 500 minutes putting on WGT....

  or 208 hours....

  or 8.7 full days...

  More than a whole week!  Just putting the effin' ball on this game!

  LOL  I'm almost at 5 days putting myself!

  Let's play again Lily.

  That is somehow depressing just how addicted we are to this 'silly' game      lols

  I think you've identified my problem. I'm at about 1/2 of that time to putt...that, and my care factor. I wish I could become like so many of the "brain surgeon" types with it...you know, this view, that view, count the square grid gig, double-check twice, dissect the colors remembering that they lie most of the time(check note-book), view from the fairway too see the flow and lastly...most important,check the caddie selection and miss the ding and the putt...I'll stick to my one look and "boom".

  And , Thanks for the replys from so many Great Ones
