No 3 Putts

[pokerjoke]

I know Luke Donald didn’t have a 3 putt for over 600 rounds and someone recently had 542.

Only competition rounds count
I think 36 would be a decent start.

I had a round with no three-putts on the 17th September last year.

Does picking up during stableford rounds count?

I'd be delighted with 36 holes.

It's holes not rounds. Rounds would be mental.

We did this a few years back and the greens I was playing on, being fairly small and relatively flat, I think I went 4 or 5 rounds without a 3 putt..
On the greens at Ellesborough..?
Might go 20 holes but that's the limit....lots of dead elephants buried there...

600 rounds????

Do you mean holes or rounds?

Why do only comp rounds count?

 

[Voyager EMH]

I haven't three putted in a competition round so far this year.

For future reference - Do putts from off the green count?

 

[KenL]

Using your putter from off the green isn't a putt, so no.

I am a good putter but do not keep stats written down.
I reckon I would have had very few rounds without one 3 putt.

However I have had a lot of rounds with lots of single putts best round being 23 putts for the round. I try to remember the good things not the bad things.

Most will do well not to 3 putt once every 6 holes.

The course you play on can make these stats tricksy as well. I played Ganton last year, 3 putts there are commonplace, greens are huge and rapid. Play somewhere with small greens, slower greens and you will barely see a 3 putt and your stats will claim you to be a putting god.

What Donald did, considering the courses he played on, was exceptional.

Holes

Added pressure and the records are competition rounds,I believe

Yeah, my course is short so you have a decent chance of reaching greens in regulation, but they are all on hellish slopes except for maybe two or three. To complete a round with no three-putts is a major achievement.

I four putted on the 9th at Princes, was on the back of the very long green on the Dunes, into a 2 club wind with a lot of water on the surface. Good times.

If I can go a round without a 3 putt I'm absolutely delighted and probably shooting a decent score.

 

[Albo]

Depends on the course but I’d say im average 2-3 per round at the moment, I’ve done rounds without, but I doubt it would be more than 2 at the most
