This is great. I haven't posted in a while either mostly bc arguing with people that never concede to being incorrect despite being shown a plethora of data/evidence as proof is exhausting.

Your first two paragraphs are all speculation and thus irrelevant.
Speculatuon? The make %s I showed for PGA Tour players is straight from shot link data compiled in the last few years. I then extrapolated those numbers to show how unlikely it is that bogey golfers are 4-6 times worse.
You know, since you claimed you would make 4-6 % of 100 footers but a bogey golfer couldn't even muster .7%.

The third paragraph shows how much an extremely repeatable stroke gains in this experiment, something a bogey golfer does not possess. As for putting being a strength of my game, I would actually say my stroke is VERY good and consistent but where my leak in putting is revolves around green reading. I have actually said that numerous times in the forum so Im not just fitting an example to my argument.
Bogey golfers are worse at green reading and will also benefit from learning the line and pace.

This post is why I am concerned for your health. Do you really not understand that a breaking putt can be made on a host of lines and speeds but a straight putt can only be made on ONE line?
Wow.
It's still mind boggling people don't understand this concept.
Not really surprising tho.
Yes there are more lines that lead to the hole on breaking putts, but all of those lines have much smaller windows of speed necessary to go in.
On breaking putts you have to match up both speed and line almost exactly.
On straight putts you mostly just have to match up line as you have a larger margin of error in the speed department.
Answer this for me. Would you rather hit a straight 3 footer or a 3 footer that breaks 6 inches?
Apparently you want the breaker bc it somehow makes the hole bigger?
Quote:
Making a 100 footer is almost exclusively luck, like a hole in one. So introducing luck to the equation is almost a must.
About as good as it gets. Something takes luck, so let's introduce more luck!
"Hey, hole in one's take a lot of luck. Let's add really strong, gusty winds to this par 3 tee shot! They're a must since we need to introduce more luck to the situation!"
And for the record, making a 100 footer is not even remotely close in the luck category to a hole in one. It's embarrassing that this appears necessary to mention.
Quote:
My two make and several of the other putts that were close probably had 3+ feet of variance in the line they started on. However, the break at the end is what brought them all near the hole.
Furthermore, how do you know your putt is dead straight on the first putt yet I have to take 10-20 putts to get my line? You can read a 100 footer to be dead straight and be correct, or are you getting to practice putt and find your dead straight putt and then you start your trial? If that is the case why would I not get a few trial putts too? FWIW, I had the exact line I wanted to hit on about the 4th putt after only walking it off and starting my trial on the first putt I hit. It is on my practice green so I am familiar with it, but due to time constraints I literally did not even get behind it to read the putt.
You knew the exact line of a100 footer after 4 attempts. Lol.
Hint there is no such thing as an exact line on breaking putts as the line is dictated by the speed. One line could be great for a putt that dies into the hole, could be terrible for a putt with a little more speed to it.
Thanks for your concern on my health. If there are glaring signs of stroke in this response please point them out.
