Dave:
I can see this has some intrinsic importance to you. But dammit, you owe me THREE beers plus a jigger of whatever single malt we can find, come Cuscowilla, for going through this pain and subjecting myself to your wrath.
OK, I did it again, and it came out the same. Here's what I come up with. Caveats: I am NOT, repeat NOT, going to hash over every freakin' number, with you telling me how wrong I am. We just plain look at this very differently. So I'll accept ONE message where you can tell me what an idiot I am and why, but all you are going to get back is "I told you we look at this differently." References to current putting stats on tours are irrelevant, because Ben never plays the kind of pancake flat greens I am talking about for this, and he also treats Augusta quite differently in approach, I am certain.
So with all those caveats out of the way, keeping in mind I am on the stand being treated as a hostile witness by a very skilled lawyer, here goes:
ANGC:
20 ten footers: total putts: AH 44 Ben 36
20 twenty footers: total putts: AH 46 Ben 39
20 thrity footers: total putts: AH 51 Ben 42
6 five footers: total putts: AH 11 Ben 8
6 forty footers: total putts: AH 18 Ben 13
Now, let's do this at a Random Course with boring greens.
20 ten footers: total putts: AH 39 Ben 28
20 twenty footers: total putts: AH 42 Ben 34
20 thrity footers: total putts: AH 48 Ben 37
6 five footers: total putts: AH 10 Ben 6
6 forty footers: total putts: AH 16 Ben 12
My numbers are not jiggered at all. I just filled 'em in based on what I know, and here's how it played out:
ANGC: AH – 170
Ben – 138
Random Hills: AH: 155
Ben: 117
Difference at ANGC: 32
Difference at Random Hills: 38.
TH, bracing for impact.
