If you are missing 3 foot putts it's probably for the same reason that you are missing 80 yard wide fairways. When your mechanics are crap and you don't even aim before mindlessly whacking a ball
Shotscope will know that it's the long game which is the main reason for differences in handicap and that putting doesn't contribute quite as much so drivinf for show putting for dough is a load of nonsense
I would say there is truth to the drive for show putt for dough based on my own experience, when I was 30 I could hit the ball further with my driver than anyone I met at the time except a couple of guys who were practicing for a long drive competition that was being held in the area. As for those two guys I was doing a fair job of staying close to them. All of that is to make the point that I still couldn't break 100 back then. Now I am 60-70 yards shorter and while not a great golfer I get upset if I cross 100 going the other way. Putting avg last year 1.79 putts per hole. Driving distance avg last year 254 yards, throwing out lost balls.
