Not only are three-putt greens probable, at times they are an achievment.
When you lip out several putts in a row, you should never think that means that you're putting well. When you're putting well, the only question is what part of the hole it's going to fall in, not if it's going in.
As I see it, the thing that hurt my putting most when it was bad, was thinking too much about how I was making the stroke and not enough about getting the ball in the hole.
Ninety percent of putts that are short, don't go in.
Putting is a fascinating, aggravating, wonderful, terrible and almost incomprehensible part of the game of golf.

A good putter is a match for anyone. A bad putter is a match for no one.
I would agree to some extent that on the Champions Tour that there is a greater premium on putting than the regular tour because of the course setups.

Pretty much whoever wins the tournament at the end of the week is the guy that putted probably the best.
