Yiannis1970:It would be nice if we had a newbie to start the game and see his/her stats after a single round. It would be easier to see how this thing calculates putts.
Yiannis this is from p3 of this thread:
I've now realised the easiest way to show this would be to look at someone that hasn't played much.
This is someone who has only played one round.
They had 46 putts with stats at 0% except for 0-5ft and 5ft-10ft.
% putts made 0-5ft 26.09% and % putts made 5ft-10ft 13.04%
I think only successful putts count and others think only first putts count, both would result in the %'s being from 18.
12 from 46 is 26.09% and 6 is 13.04%.
So whatever wgt are counting he made 12 putts from 0-5ft and 6 from 5ft-10ft.
The one putt % is 11.11 so now we know 2 first putts were made, I think that rules out first putts being what is counted with the immediately apparent reason being there couldn't be two different %'s above. (as if the two putts were holed at different distances the %'s would be the same)
So in fact it's only the last or successful putts that count. What is missing, although they are included when working out the %'s so that they don't total100% as seen, are unsuccessful putts: (missed putts 28 = 61%).
We don't know what distance the missed putts were from, so we don't know anyone's putting % from any particular distance. Which is back to the start, we know what % of successful putts were holed from each different distance but we don't what % of putts from each distance we've holed.
