Good to know -- thx.
One thought was that putts actually count, and those not counting putts were getting a lower total and complaining. while those counting the putts were confirming the 120.
So verified that putts don't count, and at least some people are getting a reliable 120 which matches the expectation for that ball.
I don't know what gives with players getting much fewer strokes per ball. Maybe they are simply missing something in their counts. Maybe they are playing mulligans in practice rounds and not counting double durability hit.
I am normally meticulous with record-keeping, but even I must admit to being bored with counting ball strokes over about 5 rounds (of 9). So easy to miss marking down a round.
Maybe there is a logical explanation where those claiming to get less hits are not counting it right??? It seems so unlikely that some players are getting the right durability (or is it some balls are getting the right durability?) and others are not.
I'd love to know if anyone works this one out.
Maybe somebody who is counting it at 120 strokes, can play the same balls as somebody who is claiming to get much fewer? If 2 different players count strokes, and one gets 120 while the other gets <80 --- then it comes down to confirming the count some how.
Puzzled!!!
