    Have been comparing my stats with some of the better players and found that my % made from 25 - 50ft putting stats is 1.15%. This doesn't sound like much but compare it to fmagnets (0.43%) and Young46 (0.48%). The best i could find is Yiannis1970 (0.78%). Is it because I get more practice at that distance? I have always used a starter putter and ball.

    Does anyone have a better % than 1.15?

    Seeing as how your Avg. Distance to Pin is 21 ft... yes, I would guess you get more practice at that distance.

    The number given is reflecting how many of your holed putts have been from that distance, not how many of your putts from that distance you have holed.  If you could compare the latter all of the named players would have a higher percentage than you.

    Or to just compare with Mags (with made up numbers) I can't imagine his approach finishing that far from the pin often say once every three rounds and say he holes 1 in 4 of them, that would be 1 in  12 rounds or 108 holes. That would be  0.93%. of his holed putts being from that distance.

    In your rounds you finished that far from the pin twice a round on average = 24 times and holed the putt twice.  That would be 2 of 108 holed putts and 1.85%.   The more relevant stat (not given by wgt) would be he holed 25% of his while you holed 8.33% of yours.

    More to the point, since the idea is to putt as few times as possible, he has 72.04% one putts while you have 41.81%.

    This is not true.  If it were, then all of the "% Putts Made from x Feet" stats would add up to 100%.  They don't.

    Why would they? Maybe my bad explanation.  It's the % of the putts from that distance,

    If I had 100 putts; 70 from 5ft and 30 from 15ft  I holed 35 of those from 5ft and 10 from 15ft

    My percentages for those 100 putts would be 5ft 50% and 15 ft 33%

    Long story short, it means the OP needs to work on his (iron) approach shots.

    I think what Sam is saying is:

    P=U/Z  is not the same as P=T/Z because T does not = U, unless you make every putt in 1 attempt in such case U does = Z and, if that was the case, the OP probably would be 100% in the putz department and that is pretty hard to do.

    Where

    P = Percentage of success

    U = putts completed from D in 1 putt

    T = number of attempted putts from D

    Z = total of all putts on that hole

    D = distance

    IMHO

    That's correct.  And, as in your example, I think WGT is only including initial putts in the "% Putts Made from x Feet" stats, not 2nd and 3rd (and subsequent) putts.

    Or in Hamden math:  P = (U / T) * 100, where T = number of initial attempted putts from D (clarification added)

    Im not sure about that- most higher averages higher 2-3 putt % players seem to have an obscene 0-5 ft putts made %. which makes me think they are starting with longer distance and eventually ending up with an easy 0-5 ft putt which is logged.

    SamSpayed:
    P = (U / T) * 100

    Now hold on there, Mr. Mostly Right:

    If you attempt 100 putts, and make 70 then using Hamden Math

    U/T = 70/100 = .70 or 70% which is P for percentage

    you are using P=(U/T) * 100 which is 70 which if P is percentage that would mean 70

    Difference?..
