Putting Round Review
Log as much or as little as you tracked per hole. Putts alone are enough for a total; distance and make outcome add detail where you have it.

Total putts
no data
A minimal record that still adds up
Most golfers can reliably count total putts per hole without extra equipment, so that single number is the backbone of this tool. First-putt distance and whether that first putt went in are optional layers on top; leaving them blank does not stop the putt total from working.
Known evidence versus missing fields
This review deliberately separates what you actually recorded from what you did not. A round with putts logged on every hole but no distances is treated as complete for the putt total and incomplete for distance analysis, rather than one incomplete record dragging the other down.
Why one-putts and three-putts are called out
A total-putts number can hide very different rounds: eighteen holes of two putts each looks identical in total to a mix of one-putts and three-putts that cancel out, but those two rounds represent very different putting performances. Counting one-putts and three-putts separately preserves that distinction.
What this is not
This is not a strokes-gained-putting calculation, which would need a distance-weighted expected-putts baseline this tool does not build. It is a personal record, not a comparison with any external benchmark. As the putting and practice cluster ships, the distances and outcomes you capture here will feed directly into more detailed putting-analysis tools.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to track first-putt distance to use this tool?
No. Total putts alone is enough for a putt total — first-putt distance and make outcome are optional layers on top, and leaving them blank does not stop the putt total from working.
Why does the tool separate what I recorded from what I did not?
A round with putts logged on every hole but no distances is treated as complete for the putt total and incomplete for distance analysis, rather than letting one incomplete field drag the other down.
Why track one-putts and three-putts separately from the total?
A total-putts number can hide very different rounds — eighteen holes of two putts each looks identical in total to a mix of one-putts and three-putts that cancel out, but those represent very different putting performances.
