    Yep,  and it really goes to show that "driver/wedge" game , although fun at times, doesn't mean you'll automatically score low.

    Oh, he struggles with his putting alright......worse than Kirstie Alley at a Weight Watchers weigh in!!!!  Earlier tonight I 3 putt from 6 bloody feet during round 2 of the US Open Aftermath. Are you freaking kidding me????  SIX #$%^ING FEET!!!!!!!! Thankfully I've been on tour for a year now and I've grown quite accustomed to my epic fail with the putter, otherwise my Samsung 24incher would be in about a hundred pieces on the floor right now LOL.

    But its not just the putter, though. My aim is rarely on target, even on dinged shots. I just don't know how to compensate for wind, distance, spin, and roll. Since I'm playing the starter ball so much the 'throwing a dart' style of play required for shooting under par is rarely an option for me. Occasionally I still can manage Birdie tries 10 feet or less, but I rarely make any of them. Hell, even on the Driver-Wedge holes if I get lucky enough to land a Cleveland 6 feet away or less, I still can't putt. I recently looked at my stats, and it turns out I'm less than 50% on putts 5 feet and below. Missing at least 6 out of every 10 five footers is certainly not the right way to play this game. Its a big part of the reason why I've never made it to Legend, and I likely never will.

    BigInigoMontoya:

    To be honest, I sometimes feel guilty about playing this course from the white tees. Even before you get to the 9th tee, nearly every hole on the Front 9 is Driver - Wedge, or Driver - 9i

    Yet you best score are 63?

    Peoples here is score in 50s from back tees. Me myself do 57. Not need for you to be guilty.

    46% for you to be more precise......47% for me and I made it to Legend (gawd knows how) so there must be another reason why you haven't succeeded.

    Forgive me if I have misinterpreted what you mean, but if that was the case, wouldn't all my percentages add up to 100%?

    % Putts Made from 0 - 5 Feet         47.51%
    % Putts Made from 5 - 10 Feet 10.37%
    % Putts Made from 10 -25 Feet 5.16%
    % Putts Made from 25 - 50 Feet 0.40%
    % Putts Made from 50+ Feet 0.02%
    TOTAL 63.46%

    How about, of all the putts I have taken up to 5 feet from the hole, I have made 47% of them.

    This raises a very good question. What EXACTLY does WGT mean when they state a MADE putt. Is a putt made from 5 feet, a putt holed from 5 feet, or a putt attempted from 5 feet, holed or not

    In my mind a MADE putt is a HOLED putt.
