Question:
At the RSG Masters this year I had 2 rounds with over 50 putts. Can’t recall that ever happening before!
Response:
Since I started keeping track, the worst I’ve done is 41. Managed a 79 that day anyway, minor miracle. Chris
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Well I believe I had probably the worst putting round of my life today. I was at a tough little par 3 course. I hit 11 greens with a very tough wind,which is not too bad. I wish I could’ve hit more, but the problem was that I had 47 putts. I finished up with an 18 over par 72. I usually shoot even, 1 or 2 over on the course. I missed putts from every distance, 3 feet, 2 feet….. you name it. So, I was wondering what your personal worst round for number of putts was, and what did you do to try to fix this? Yes, I know I have to practice, but did you buy new putters, different mental approach?

I never thought about putting much until I started keeping shot stats. I discovered that I was putting in the high forties (46 was the worst). Like most golf fanatics, I have a whole slew of golf equipment in my garage so I switched putters. I was using a mid-length Carbite and switched to a face-balanced mallet from Wilson (Blackjack, I think). I also devoted more time on my putting during practice. It’s amazing how quickly you can lose touch with your putter if you don’t practice for a few days….
