Calculating Putting Average

Your putting average is calculated by dividing the total number of putts by the number of holes you played. The formula is:

A good putting average for most golfers is around 1.5 to 2.0 putts per hole. Professional golfers typically have averages below 1.5.

Strokes Gained Putting

Strokes gained putting measures how many strokes you gained or lost compared to the average golfer. It's calculated using the following formula:

Positive strokes gained putting indicates you performed better than average, while negative values mean you performed worse.

Putting Improvement Needed

To determine how much you need to improve, the calculator compares your current average to your target average. The formula is:

A positive result means you need to improve your putting. A negative result indicates you're already better than your target.

Worked Example

Let's say you played a round of golf and made 30 putts on 18 holes. Your current putting average is 1.67 putts per hole, and your target average is 1.5.

Using the calculator:

1. Current average: 1.67
2. Target average: 1.5
3. Total putts: 30
4. Number of holes: 18

The calculator would show:

• Your current putting average is 1.67 putts per hole.
• You gained 0.17 strokes putting compared to the average golfer.
• You need to improve by 0.17 putts per hole to reach your target average.
