EDUCATION CORNER

IMPORTANT STATISTIC: THREE-PUTT AVOIDANCE

Excerpt from GOLFDIGEST January 2012- Lesson Tee by Hank Haney

“One STATISTIC the PGA Tour keeps is an Extremely Important Barometer of how well a player is performing.  It is called THREE-PUTT AVOIDANCE.  If you don’t believe me, look at Luke Donald’s statistics from 2011.

He went  500 Holes without a three-putt, and he finished the year No. 1 in three-putt avoidance.

For the recreational player, REDUCING THREE-PUTTS  is one of the biggest factors, IF NOT THE BIGGEST—in reaching a scoring goal. 

Even if you don’t make first putts, IMPROVING YOUR SPEED CONTROL ON THE GREENS  is the fastest way to take, I’d say, three shots off a double-digit handicap, or to break 80 or 70 for the first time if you’re a low-handicap player. You’ll thank me if you do.”
