Just an idea to get a different perspective on putting, based on some numbers that we can all relate to each other.

Still not massively scientific but hey ho!

If you know them, subtract your average GIR per round, from your average number of putts per round.

Idea unashamedly stolen from another forumer :o

Choose your result from the poll, explain if you wish.
 
No idea how many putts I take in a round - I never count them. Or GIR - don't record that either.

From my most recent round (a 4BBB match) I'm recalling 7 GIR and 30 putts. So 23.
 
I counted up putts round the par 3, 28 putts for 18, a few two putts, mostly ones after chips. Small upturned saucer greens are hard to find!
