19 SHOTS

GAVIN SAYS: “In that round of 85 you will typically face 19 putts from inside 4ft. Amazingly, one in five of these – some 22% – are left short. As the graphic below shows, Tour pros hole 98% of these putts, while an average putter off a 14 handicap misses a little more than one in four. These short putts are unavoidable, so improving your performance here is one of the fastest ways to cut your score.”
