Hi Golfer,

We’ve got to address the elephant in the room.

I think Matt Kuchar was right to pick up on the last hole and come back the next day. He’s not the problem.

Slow play is the problem.

You best believe if someone in front of me is playing as slowly as Aaron Rai, I’m hitting into them.

What are your thoughts? Is Kuchar’s behavior justified? Do you even care at all?

How many putts should you take per round?

This might surprise you.

Surprisingly, there is not a big difference from the highest handicap benchmark, the 25hcp, to the lowest, the 0hcp. 

Realistically, for most golfers, any number of putts around the 30 mark is pretty standard. Significantly higher and you’ve had a bad day on the greens. Or, significantly lower, and you’ve had a good day on the greens.

The number of strokes to get on the green is where the difference in handicaps can be found.
