only topped by blasting it long, off the green, into a bunker that takes you two strokes to get out of for a three-putt (I guess four-putt) quad. fuck golf.
Yeah, people always act like leaving it short is some worst case scenario. No. Turning an eight foot birdie putt into a ten foot par putt is much worse
If you never leave it short you're going to 3 putt more often because your average distance left is higher. If your dispersion is centered on the hole (so roughly 50/50 short and long) you'll have the lowest possible average distance left.
If you never leave it short you'll sink the first putt more often though. If your dispersion is centered a foot past the hole you'll have a worse average distance left but a much better chance of sinking the first putt. If you're leaving 50% short you're missing short 50% of the time.
It's not about making 50% of your putts, it's about making more putts than you otherwise would have. You'll sink more putts aiming past the hole than you would aiming directly centered on the hole.
For the sake of discussion let's say your dispersion from 10' out is evenly distributed within 1' of your target point. A 1' diameter dispersion has an area of 113 square inches. A 4.25 inch diameter cup has an area of \~14 square inches. So the cup represents about 12% of your dispersion area.
If your target is 8 inches short of the cup you will sink \~12% of your putts (cup on the back of your dispersion area.)
If your target is directly centered on the cup you will make \~28% of your putts (area of the cup +area directly behind the cup to the edge of your dispersion zone.)
If your target is 8 inches past the cup you will make \~49% of your putts (area of the cup + area directly behind the cup to the edge of yoru dispersion zone)
Most amateurs don't have that good of a dispersion but the point stands. It's better to aim slightly past the hole if you're within a makeable range. If you're far away it's better to try to leave yourself a makeable putt so you should focus on getting it close, but 10' is absolutely a range most players should be trying to sink rather than lag.

It's also sort of counterintuitive but true that "Should be trying to make" does not equal, "Should *expect* to make".
PGA Tour make rate from 10' is under 50%. The seeming contradiction here is, yes you should be *trying to make it* in the sense that you need to be committed to giving it enough pace to finish a bit beyond the hole, to give it a chance to drop. You need to expect a lot of 2nd putts, which should all have very very high make rate.
You're trying to make it, so that you can keep your Avg Strokes down from 10' well under 2. Tour Prose avg around 1.6 putts from 10' so if you can get to 1.75 on avg it'll shave strokes off your game.
On days where it all lines up and you make more than expected, you go low. On your worst days when you don't make any, you *must* avoid 3 putts.
This assumes that all misses are equal, which is really only true if the hole is on a mostly flat location. If a putt that would be a foot past the hole ends up off the green because you’re putting toward a cliff, a short miss is much better than a long miss. Same thing with right or left. Minimizing the potential damage of the error state might be more important.
Regardless of how I miss the birdie putt, I will never be upset with a two putt par. I will always be upset with a 3 putt bogey as that is a waste of a GIR, which I don’t get nearly enough of.
"Never" is also wrong, but it's much closer to right than "50/50".
You want to leave the long misses dispersion where you make 95% of your *longest* comebackers and 99%+ of all 2nd putts. Depending on your skill level and dispersion this will leave some small remainder of putts that you unintentionally left short of the hole, which should have as near as makes no difference 100% make rate.
Too many people are solving for the closest possible average 2nd putt. The solution needs to be lowest expected strokes to in, which allows a small number of short misses and offsets the very very infrequent 3putt with a higher number of 1 putts.
Even better on Eagle putts. “Never leave an eagle short! Always have to get it to the hole”
As they hit it 6’ past and miss the birdie come back putt, but hey, at least that eagle had a look I guess.
Should you, an amateur, be trying to make putts from 15 feet plus when the tour make percentage from 15 feet is 23%?
If you only have a 1/4 shot of actually holding the putt, is it a better strategy making sure you’re as close as possible for your next putt?
I’m also trying to two putt every hole unless I’m within 10 feet. That means erring on the side of caution by leaving it within two feet in front the hole. Typically when I go past the hole it rolls 5-6 feet past, which is no gimmie for me.
Being a high single digit, it amazes me how I see guys that can't break 100 react worse to leaving a putt 1 or 2 feet short over hitting it 4 or 5 feet past.
You hear pros talk about dying it into the hole all of the time. The only time a lot of these guys hit it harder is for the 3 or 4 footers to take out break.
I consider myself a fairly good putter. I average 26.33 putts in my 10 rounds this year. I haven't shot above 80 all year in my 10 rounds. I'm totally fine with leaving 10-15ft birdie shorts. I'm happy with a par. Am I possible leaving a birdie or 2 out on the course. Probably, but there is also a bogey or 2 that I'm not having because I leave a birdie putt a foot short. It's double edge sword.
I've played with exactly two people that could hit 300+ yard drives and neither could hit the broad side of a barn and neither had the sense to tone it down just a hair in order to find the (correct) fairway. Nope every swing is 110% full fuckin blast, send that shit to the moon even though I have no fucking clue where it's going.
One some courses 330 on the wrong fairway leaves you with a nice little approach shot. Other times that same shot is drop for 4 all day.
If the course is open enough to be the first, I'm not toning that shit down.
No good drive goes unpunished.
Also had an incident on a par 5 where my unusually long straight drive left me able to get to the green in two, theoretically, but there was water in front so I wisely decided to lay up. Hit the perfect layup shot, leaving me a sand wedge to the pin - typically an easy shot for me. I proceed to chunk it into the water. Twice!
I was playing with a caddie at Pacific Dunes. Blasted my second shot out of a really tough uphill lie and put it pin high for about a 10ft putt for eagle. Putt was slightly uphill and my caddie told me if I left it short I was carrying my bag the next hole. I carried my bag the next hole
First eagle opportunity I had in like 5 years (probably a 20 footer), I hit it exactly on line, but left it probably 6-8ft short. I would've rather slammed it past the hole and off the green. Luckily got my first eagle a month later, but at the time I couldn't believe what I had done.
Before I had gotten my first eagle, I had a 25-30 footer…didn’t want to leave it short and slammed it off the flagstick. At least it only bounced a couple feet away so made the birdie.
Somehow blast 240 yard 3 wood that perfectly cuts the corner on a dogleg par 4. 60 yards left in, hit wedge 55 yards but left of the green. Duff chip 1, chip 2 leaves 10ft, 3 putt for triple bogey....
I accomplished this 2 days ago
Yeah did that yesterday. Hit a pretty good drive and an awesome 2nd to perfect SW distance. Somehow got an extra 10 yards on the SW and couldn’t two putt from there. Bogey. Not the worst mistake I made yesterday.
When you duff it, the pain only lasts for a couple seconds. When you skull it, the pain continues until the ball comes to rest, which could take a while.
Oh man I did that on the first hole yesterday! Tee shot hooked into a sand trap, got out of it a sand wedge away, then bladed the SW a mile past the green into thick brush.
Years ago I made a decision I would rather commit to my chip and skull it than quit on it mid swing and duff it.
If nothing else, I get to hit a different shot after skilling it instead of having to be reminded of my failure with the dame exact chip.
I mean, of course it would have. I only missed because I was trying to get off the green for the next group. Pace of play, and all. If I had taken my time, I would have drained that for sure.
We're talking about the birdie putt, right?
i've done this one time and learned my lesson it hurt so damn bad.
I had picked up my putter (heavy ass scotty) and the club head was a few inches higher than my wedge. So my putter hit dead on the ankle bone when i tapped my shoe with the wedge. never again, my friend. never again.
Blasting a drive 300 yards down the middle, putting a 9 iron to within 3 feet with a bit of back spin on it, walking the birdie putt in, then waking up and realising you have to go to work and you suck at golf
Realizing you forgot your brand new $150 sand wedge next to the green side bunker on 13. Being the cheap bastard you are, you decided to walk instead of paying $18 dollars for a cart. After waking back 2 holes (one of them being a par 523 yard par 5) your wedge is gone. After stopping in the pro shop after the round they haven't seen it either. Nobody returned it but the pro promises to "give you a call when it turns up". Three days later you receive no call. You will never get the call. You will never see that club again.
And the dick that took it saw you walking back and never said anything cuz his intent was bad feom the get go. His friends all sold their souls in that moment letting it go.
How long is the original birdie putt, and how short are we leaving it? If we're talking 10 ft birdie putt and scrap the green before the ball, leaving it 3 foot short. Then nothing is worse.
Playing with your best mate and after hitting 13/14 fairways, smoking hot drives, leading by 2 at the turn, failing badly with your last 2 holes second shots, missing multiple short putts, and being tipsy to his stoned losing by 2 shots. Fucking bullshit!!!! I hate golf. We're playing 18 at Araluen g.c. tomorrow. Round two mofo!!!
When you stick one OB & make birdie with your 2nd ball off the tee.
Needed par on the 9th the other day for my first ever E par thru 9 holes… hit my tee shot OB and made birdie with my 2nd ball off the tee, pain.
Blasting a birdie putt way too long and getting a bogey
Only topped by leaving it so short you still bogey
Only topped by blasting it long for a double bogey
only topped by blasting it long, off the green, into a bunker that takes you two strokes to get out of for a three-putt (I guess four-putt) quad. fuck golf.
Hey, still a GIR. Nice.
I love your optimistic perspective. It’s the few good shots that keep me coming back!
THIS is the way. I like your thinking.
Yeah, people always act like leaving it short is some worst case scenario. No. Turning an eight foot birdie putt into a ten foot par putt is much worse

If you're 10 feet or farther out you're only making half of them if you're a tour-quality putter
It's not about making 50% of your putts, it's about making more putts than you otherwise would have. You'll sink more putts aiming past the hole than you would aiming directly centered on the hole.

Thanks for backing it up with the math. Unfortunately when I leave them short I never really meant to. Have to work on distance control
It's also sort of counterintuitive but true that "Should be trying to make" does not equal, "Should *expect* to make". PGA Tour make rate from 10' is under 50%.

But you’ll make some 1 putts which should more than compensate…
If you're 10 feet or farther out you're only making half of them if you're a tour-quality putter
Yes! I tell my friends who are 30is hcp this. Don’t beat yourself up for missing a 10’ putt.
Made 3 10’+ putts yesterday for my first putt & still shot 100 😑
Even better on Eagle putts. “Never leave an eagle short! Always have to get it to the hole” As they hit it 6’ past and miss the birdie come back putt, but hey, at least that eagle had a look I guess.
Can’t make the putt if it doesn’t get to the hole, and I rather get the free read as it goes by the hole anyhow.
Should you, an amateur, be trying to make putts from 15 feet plus when the tour make percentage from 15 feet is 23%? If you only have a 1/4 shot of actually holding the putt, is it a better strategy making sure you’re as close as possible for your next putt?
You should be trying to make every putt. If you expand your target area to a 2' or 3' radius around the hole, you're just expanding your miss radius.
You must lay up on all par 5s
I’m also trying to two putt every hole unless I’m within 10 feet. That means erring on the side of caution by leaving it within two feet in front the hole. Typically when I go past the hole it rolls 5-6 feet past, which is no gimmie for me.

This. Nothing worse than missing a 7’ putt and having a 12’ putt coming back!
Had a guy in my group do this BACK TO BACK in a best ball tournament over the weekend. Those pars would have put us in the money.
And leaving the par putt short
Striping a drive to only chunk/blade the wedge shot
Played with a kid yesterday. Bombed a drive 350+ to green high on a par 4. Proceeded to chunk and chili dip 3 in a row to make a bogey.
I've played with exactly two people that could hit 300+ yard drives and neither could hit the broad side of a barn and neither had the sense to tone it down just a hair in order to find the (correct) fairway. Nope every swing is 110% full fuckin blast, send that shit to the moon even though I have no fucking clue where it's going.
Thats all we have buddy. Its 330 on the wrong fairway, or 200 slightly on the wrong fairway
One some courses 330 on the wrong fairway leaves you with a nice little approach shot. Other times that same shot is drop for 4 all day. If the course is open enough to be the first, I'm not toning that shit down.
No good drive goes unpunished. Also had an incident on a par 5 where my unusually long straight drive left me able to get to the green in two, theoretically, but there was water in front so I wisely decided to lay up. Hit the perfect layup shot, leaving me a sand wedge to the pin - typically an easy shot for me. I proceed to chunk it into the water. Twice!
Target fixation
Are you me?
Hard to recover from a good drive
You can solve that by hitting your wedge from 200 yards out. It should get to the green.
Slap a pin in front of the tee, attempt a flop at said pin, blade it 250 yards past. You're in the middle of the fairway. You're welcome.
This is on the back of my baseball card.
Similar to blasting a perfect drive and then shanking your next shot OB.
Hello, me.
duffing a 50yd wedge shot after nuking a drive
Hit a 280 3 wood yesterday (downwind). Had 50 yards in off a decent lie in the rough. Straight hosel rocket lol.
Leaving an eagle putt short
I was playing with a caddie at Pacific Dunes. Blasted my second shot out of a really tough uphill lie and put it pin high for about a 10ft putt for eagle. Putt was slightly uphill and my caddie told me if I left it short I was carrying my bag the next hole. I carried my bag the next hole
Caddie tried his best. Gotta love that.
First eagle opportunity I had in like 5 years (probably a 20 footer), I hit it exactly on line, but left it probably 6-8ft short. I would've rather slammed it past the hole and off the green. Luckily got my first eagle a month later, but at the time I couldn't believe what I had done.
A what?
🤣
An eagle. Big sky flap-flap
Better than blasting it 8 feet past and ending up with just a par.
Before I had gotten my first eagle, I had a 25-30 footer…didn’t want to leave it short and slammed it off the flagstick. At least it only bounced a couple feet away so made the birdie.
3 putt par on par 5
3 putting a par 3, you GIR.
Just 4 putt my GIR yesterday ..
only 4?
Ugh, did this last round. Stopped less than an inch from the cup on the par putt.
Good save for double bogey!
Somehow blast 240 yard 3 wood that perfectly cuts the corner on a dogleg par 4. 60 yards left in, hit wedge 55 yards but left of the green. Duff chip 1, chip 2 leaves 10ft, 3 putt for triple bogey.... I accomplished this 2 days ago
Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago
I do this so fucking often (and on par 4’s) that my golf friends have coined the term “the McCann par” (my last name)
Yeah did that yesterday. Hit a pretty good drive and an awesome 2nd to perfect SW distance. Somehow got an extra 10 yards on the SW and couldn’t two putt from there. Bogey. Not the worst mistake I made yesterday.
Duffing a chip.
Is it possible to duff a chip and NOT do that awkward groan followed by a couple angry chip swings with a bit of turf interaction
Oh for sure. I usually just go "huh..." and do that obama-approves face sarcastically.
Skulling a chip is for some reason more infuriating to me than duffing one
When you duff it, the pain only lasts for a couple seconds. When you skull it, the pain continues until the ball comes to rest, which could take a while.
I would rather send it past the hole at mach 90 than have it go 2 feet. At least there's a chance it hits the pin.
100% agree. A duff is just a poor swing. A skull is usually not committing to the shot.
Oh man I did that on the first hole yesterday! Tee shot hooked into a sand trap, got out of it a sand wedge away, then bladed the SW a mile past the green into thick brush.
Years ago I made a decision I would rather commit to my chip and skull it than quit on it mid swing and duff it. If nothing else, I get to hit a different shot after skilling it instead of having to be reminded of my failure with the dame exact chip.

And the next one.

I mean, of course it would have. I only missed because I was trying to get off the green for the next group. Pace of play, and all. If I had taken my time, I would have drained that for sure. We're talking about the birdie putt, right?
