How accurate are you from these distances?

[Barbiaux]

I just started playing last year and this is my first year in a league. I am curious about accuracy from distances. Lets assume we are only factoring the shots that you feel you can make. Not ones that you are 30 feet away and you have 7 tress in the way and you just feel there is no way you can make the shot.

We will also assume that we are all about 99% from 0-7 feet. If I am incorrect in this thinking please correct me.

What percentage of shots do you make from these distances?

8-15ft?
16-30ft?
31-50ft?
51-100ft?

16-30 is a pretty big jump. Personally I'm pretty accurate 15-20, and there's a big drop off by the time you get out to 30.

 

[NCStatePlaya]

I'm there with you mashnut, 20ft and in I am pretty confident... >85% I would say. Once you get beyond 25'...my push putt falls to pieces...just cant get the pop.

So my take on the distances...
99%
80%
25%
Anything that ends up in the basket was pure luck.

 

[Field Mouse]

8-15: 99%
16-30: 50%
31-50: 20-25%
51-100: 1%

Typically if I'm 50-100 ft out I just try to drop it in the circle rather than drilling it and ending up with a worse drop than before.

I think you would gather more useful data by asking per 10' increments.

0-10
11-20
21-30
31-40
41-50

After 50', it really is just jump putt and pray range. Anyone that tells you they make over 20% from that range is either a top pro, or a liar(and with this being the internet and all, I think we all know which there are more of).

 

[prerube]

I think I would have to tweek the distances, there is a huge difference in some of your distances. The same percentage from 16 and 30 feet?:

8-10ft 99.2%
10-15ft 52%
15-20ft 85%
20-30ft 72%
30-40 ft 52%
40-60 ft 26%
60-100ft 12%

 

[garublador]

I still think that 20'-30' is too big of a jump. Most find that it's somewhere around 20'-25' where accuracy takes a significant hit. So someone who put 50% for the 20'-30' range might put 80% for 20'-25' and 40% for 25'-30'.

I also agree that once you get outside of 50' you get to where luck is more important than skill for almost everyone. So I guess that means that it's a good cutoff for the poll.

 

[podunk pete]

I would go with Prube's distances, just a little different percentages

8-10ft 99.1%
10-15ft 51%
15-20ft 81%
20-30ft 71%
30-40 ft 51%
40-60 ft 26%
60-100ft 11%

Sorry...thought I was dreaming again. 20% on all..

Easy enuff'

1. 99%
2. 75%
3. 50%
4. 25%

For me, putting is a strong suit!! This is an average...some days it's stronger and most days it's on the money. Very rarely is it ever weaker.

30-40 ft 52%
40-60 ft 26%
60-100ft 12%

OK, for me this would be about...

8-10ft = 5%
10-15ft = 3%
15-20ft = 1%
20-30ft = nope
30-40ft = no chance
40-60ft = couldn't throw it in the ocean
60-100ft = this is a drive for me

The good news is I can hit about 25% from 5 ft in!

 

[TOURNEYPLAYER]

8-10ft = 99%
10-15ft =85%
15-20ft = 75%
20-30ft = 50%
30-40ft = 40%
40-60ft = 25%
60-100ft = 5%

 

[gcr_russell]

Most people overestimate their putting skills. Im certainly an above average putter now, and its been proven in tournaments and my rating, and Im not hitting a lot of the putting percentages people here are claiming.

 

[agapedad]

I can tell you that according to my Perfect Putt 360 worksheet, the 2 weeks that I recorded there:
10 ft -97.5% (Must have been a few I stopped looking)
15 ft - 81.5%
20 ft - 53%
25 ft - 37%
30 ft - 33%
Overall avg - 60.4% of my putts inside 30 ft go in




roughly

 

[VistaDG]

For me, it's probably something like this

8-15ft? 95%
16-30ft? 60% (but I'm probably like 10% over 25 ft, if that)
31-50ft? 1% (generous round up from 0)
51-100ft? 1% (see above)

 

[scarpfish]

Here might be a good drill for everybody the next time you're either at the course or can dig the practice basket out.

Access as best you can which way the wind is blowing in from and make that the 12:00 direction (or just use North), take a tape measure and put four markers on the ground so you move every shot, have to reassess the wind and reset your feet. Start at either 10' or 15' (or 20' if you're a sharpshooter) depending on your skill level and move out in increments of 5'.

Once you've gone around the circle five times (20 shots) count how many you made, move out to the next circle and repeat.

 

[Nimi]

8-15ft = 50%
16-30ft = 10%
31-50ft = 2%
51-100ft = 0,1%

 

[DavidSauls]

If I kept track I'd have 4 answers----my putting practice percentages, my actual round percentages, my exhausted late in the round percentages, and my game-on-the-line percentages.

A graph of which would be steep enough to roll away into the 3% range.

 

[ArcheType]

while I'm too lazy to do the whole chart, I will say I make significantly more putts in the 35'-40' range than I do in the 27'-32' range. My jump putt is way better than my edge of the circle putt. Probably has something to do with the fact that I straddle putt in the circle, but switch to a Feldberg-esque walk putt outside of it.
