Do You Make More Putts on Comebackers?

About this episode

The episode explores the likelihood of making comeback putts compared to similar-length putts where the break hasn't been seen.

A listener question sends Lou on a deep, deep dive into the Arccos database. We know that "never up, never in" is poor advice, especially on longer putts. But if a putt rolls past the hole, how much more likely is a golfer to make the comebacker than a similar-length putt where he hasn't seen the break? Lou, Greg, and Mark talk about the way that gathering information from balls rolling on the green can help you putt fewer times and shoot lower scores.
