Pretty bog standard.

Number of putts is a bit of a misleading stat...if you are missing the green a lot and then chipping, it is likely that your putts will be lower than if you had hit the green with your initial approach shot.

30 putts is any good.
No three putts is very good.
May last year, I had a round with 8 putts on the first 7 holes.
Next 11 holes were totally uninteresting in terms of putting stats, but I felt that I played all the other shots much better over those holes.
3rd hole is the longest par 4 on the course.

Depends what you are comparing it against. If you usually take 40+ plus putts then yes, if you are comparing against a pro then not so good

The gross score is what really matters, but 30 putts is decent unless you are literally chipping from inside 20 yards on every hole.
Jamie is a decent putter - but due to his size he isn't making a lot of GIR's, so as mentioned above - it's a factor, but he will take less than 30 putts if he posts a good score, if he's over 30 putts, it's not a good score. Last time out he had 25 putts and shot 2 over par - now if he was a smidgin over 6 foot like his fatha, and was shooting 2 over gross with 25 putts the alarm bells would be ringing.

Some context required but I don't think 30 putts is ever going to be bad, unless your chipping was world class and your first putt was from 4 feet every time. If I get 30 putts on a round at my place I'm delighted, since all our greens are on lethal slopes. Very rare that I managed no three putts too.
