Was playing around with my scoring data today for no particular reason,

found the following.
I make 59% of my 4' putts when they are the first putt of a hole. I make
68%
of my 4' putts when they are the second putt of a hole. I assume that
this
improved putting on second putts is simply due to having additional data
about how the putts are rolling near the cup on second putts. I do have a
pretty good sample size here (over 150 putts for each category - several
years of data), so it makes you think that I've probably got a better
chance
at improving my short putting by improving my green reading vs. improving
my
stroke.
How many of those 4 footer were for par, or birdie? You may be
tensing up a bit on the first putts, since they mean a good score. I
notice quite often that the second putt, especially for double bogie,
or worse, tends to be more relayed, since I don't care about the score
anymore at that point.
FWIW.

stand there all day and not miss. I decided to
pretend that I had missed the first putt and
that the real one was the repeat. Worked for
a while too, like everything else :-)
