FROM 0 FEET 100% MADE
3 FEET 99% MADE
5 FEET 97% MADE
6 FEET 60% MADE
10 FEET 30% MADE

THESE NUMBERS COME FROM PELZ'S STATISTICAL TABLE FOR THE AVERAGE PGA TOUR PLAYER. I HAVE NO IDEA THE EXPERIMENT USED TO COMPILE THE DATA BUT IT IS THE BEST DATA I HAVE.

ODDS OR STATISTICS CAN BE MISLEADING ON TOUR BECAUSE THEY DO NOT GIVE YOU THE true NUMBERS OF PLAYERS winning. THE BAD WEEKS WHEN THE WIVES ARE MAD AND THE AIRPORT IS RUNNING BEHIND ARE THROWN IN THERE WITH THE WINNING WEEKS.

There is definitely a relationship between getting the ball very close to the hole and making the putt. According to Pelz the chance of making a putt between 20 and 35 feet is less than 10%. Again this is DEATH THOUGHT for us because we must feel we make every putt.

Conclusion,
Get your Golfing Machine fine tuned so that you can hit that seven iron four feet instead of fourteen feet. Read the speed (gives you the line), committ to that line, and make your best stroke. If you do this you made the putt.
