Mid-to-upper 90's, and low 100's for the most part. Finally getting a driver I can hit brought me down a few strokes.

This is a very depressing conversation to be having during a snowstorm.

Well I have to take a 3 Iron off the tee since I'm about as inconsistent as one can be with a driver.

I usually shoot about 80-90, my short game saves me.  Very rare for me to have more than 30 putts in a round.

EDIT: punctuation and amount...because I wasn't fooling anyone

 Very rare for me to have more than 22 putts in a round.

EDIT: punctuation

If we are talking about 18 holes you are the best putter in the world.  I don't know of any tour pros that average 22 putts per round. Current leader on tour is Corey Pavin at 27.17  If I have less than 30 putts for 18 I am usually taking home the cash.

If it is longer than your putter, no way I am giving it.

 Maybe its just who I golf with, but when my friends and I golf anything outside of a foot is not a gimme, cruel yes.

If we're just messing around, 2-3 ft is a gimme.

If we're competing, putt them all.

I'm typically 80-85, rarely going over 87.  Low round was 76, but I can count on two fingers the number of times I have been under 80.  Left an Ace on the lip once.  Waited for Carl Spackler to blow up the course so it would fall, but all I could do was jump up and down hoping it would fall......I did get the bird though!

I don't play golf......for money....with people....

I usually putt out anything over a foot.   I usually concede any putt for an 8.   I don't care if somebody is lousy, but please, for the love of all that is holy, don't look at a 10 ft putt for a 9 from 3 sides.    If you stink, at least stink fast.   Nobody actually cares if you shot 107-112, just whether or not you played quickly and were a fun partner.   
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

Wondering how long it would take...


Chipping onto the green, put it close and knock it in.  One putt.

And the hardest course I play each year, is probably Brown Deer.  Take it for what it's worth.

EDIT:  It's certainly more than 22 (since I don't count putting from the fringe as a putt).

Nor should you.  It isn't a putt unless it occurs on the green.
That being said if you are making 14 one putts in a round it is still amazing.

I am almost automatic from 10-15 feet and I am rarely outside of 10 feet when lining up putt number 2.  Then again, the greens I am playing are not all that difficult.

I can check if Bruce is available. Maybe Crean can come also. Oops, he doesn't golf. Just plays around with his putter.

see my short game saves my round. I used to be deadly accurate with my nike 56 degree -I lost it, but I got it back-  and I can 2 put from just about anywhere, usually

I use a Hippo, but it's probably my most consistent club.

Other than my putter  ;)
