Average score

  According to the rules poor scores are ignored. However since I managed to reach Legend every single score is taken into account and I am finding it impossible to get my average to come down. Is it just me this is happening to?

  I also cannot get my under 5 foot puts percentage to increase above 44.67 although I estimate that I sink 90% of these.

  I know it doesn't really matter but I do find it annoying all the same.

  What rules are these?

   After 500 ranked rounds AS A LEGEND your average will stop going up.

  It means that 44.67% of your holed putts are from that distance, it's not the success rate of putts from 5 ft

  I hope this information puts you more at ease.

  Are you sure that's correct Paul, wouldn't the percentages from '% of putts made from xx ft'  add up to 100% ?

  I never really thought about it much either until I read your post, but that's the great thing about differing opinions, it makes you think about stuff.

  The 0-5 foot putts % (and other stats) is a WGT lifetime average, not a tier based average.

  You haven't always made 90% of your WGT 0-5 foot putts.

  So of the 15,909 putts you have attempted here on WGT, you made 44.67% of those putts that were 0-5 foot from the hole - a total of 7107 putts.
