SMS - 8 Foot Putts, Make Rate, Tour Pros Top 10

SMS - 8 Foot Putts, Make Rate, Tour Pros Top 10

Author: Golf Swing Productions by Mark Crossfield Greg Chalmers and Lou Stagner April 25, 2026 Duration: 12:11
If you listen to this podcast, you probably know that Tour pros average about 50% on their putts from 8 feet. But how does that number change for players when they finish in the top 10? Or, on the other hand, in weeks in which they miss the cut? Lou puts this question to Greg and Mark, and the answer might give some insight into how much putting contributes to the hot and cold rounds that we all have. Each of these will be a mini-episode (10-15 minutes long) about an interesting golf stat. We will discuss what you can learn, and most importantly, how you can apply this on the golf course to lower your scores and lower your handicap.
