What are your putting averages

Up until a few weeks ago i was av about 35.2 which is slightly higher than last year which was I think 34.7.

However my game has not been to good for about 5 weeks now, plus the watering system at our course broke down for about 10 days when the greens become like Augusta, they were rediculously fast. I three putted the first 4 holes and finished with 42 putts.
I was so annoyed with my game that I went out again straight after the prize giving. I didn't play any better but my putts reduced to 28, mind you I did have one chip in, and two that lipped out of the hole.
 
I use golfshot on the iphone to track my stats and according to that my average putting is 1.75 per hole. Although my stats for putting on G.I.R is an average of 3! Probably because I have so few G.I.R's and when I have them it's usually a 20-30ft putt. I worked on my putting, got a decent mallet and adopting a left hand down putting style (like Harrington) to help square my shoulders. Now I just need to improve getting to the green as my personal best at my local par 72 course is 101.
