Yiannis1970:
DodgyPutter, couple of observations:
Earlier you said that the reference for calculations on putting for WGT is number 18. In the above scenario though you take as a reference the number 9 (9 hole round). If WGT takes in account the holes played, system of % becomes very very very complicated.
Yiannis the main problem is believing it's the first putt that counts, it's not it's the successful or last putt. Earlier I talked about 18 as it was an 18 hole round (so there were 18 successful putts) in your example there were 9 holes.
Yiannis1970: This is not quite correct. While in our cases (i mean yours and mine) if we add successful + missed putts (in %) we come up with our final 100% and the board represent our total putting ability
These numbers don't reflect our putting ability at least not in the way you mean.
What yours mean is (and all the numbers I'm giving here are approximate) :
Putts holed from
0-5ft 23,083
5-10ft 10,826
10ft-25ft 5,484
10-25ft 548
25ft-50ft 30
And therefor Missed putts 10,572
What it doesn't tell us what distance the missed putts were from. The percentage given is only showing you where your holed putts are from.
If all of your missed putts were from 5-10ft (I know they're not) then your success rate from that distance would be around 69% as it's more likely longer putts you're missing it would probably be in the mid-upper 90's. That was just to illustrate how ridiculous it would be to think of these as top players success rates.
Sorry forgot this
Yiannis1970: As wgt divide the successful putts at each distance by the total number of putts the denominator is now 11.
In your example he holed all 9 so there were 9 successful putts and 9 putts. In mine he missed two so there were still 9 successful putts but now 11 putts. As wgt divide the successful putts at each distance by the total number of putts the denominator is now 11.
so six successful at 0-5ft = 6/11 55% etc.
