Suggestions & Feedback

We love to hear form GolfBuzz members, so don’t hesitate to reach out and let us know your thoughts.

I know there is a ‘forum’ area for this topic but I could not get posted anywhere relevant so I’ve placed it here.

There is so much nonsense attached to ‘golf statistics’ that the mere mortal golfer becomes obsessed with this crap. It eats away at their confidence because they have failed to hit fairways & greens in regulation & then 2 putt for par.

We have to simplify the stats for us everyday golfers to show where we go historically wrong by marking down the amount of putts taken on each green. It may take us 2/3/4 (or 5) shots to get onto the putting surface & once there how many more shots until we are below ground …...

Truly the best advice ever given to the amateur golfer – by all professionals – is to concentrate on pitching & more importantly putting.

Every round I play I mark down my score, naturally, but I also record how many putts taken. This is THE statistic that we mortal golfers should be concentrating on.

Discuss, Cheers, John.

I think one of the things that would make this site better would be allowing cookies so you don’t need to log-in each time you visit the site. I think more people would contribute to the site if they didn’t need to login each time.

I agree with your putting idea. I’ve spent alot of time on my putting recently and it has helped a lot. I got a good putting practice idea from: http://www.golf.sc/articles,fun-golf-putting-dr…

This is my first time on this forum. I have to agree with the putting idea. I keep track of my putts for each hole. If I end up with more than a 3 putt, I consider the hole a loss. I’ve always heard that a person drives for show and putts for dough. I probably practice my putting and my short game two to three times as much as I do my driving. Because of this my overall game has improved.
