Have done this and taught the same for 28 years. It's amazing to me that a golfer wants to know when they are 50, 100, 150 etc. but don't seem to want the same information when they putt.
You may not hole it often from 50yds, 100yds+ but you have a real good chance on the green if you know the distance.

I have discovered when asking students how long a particular putt is, that for the most part they aren't even close.

Once you have the distance you then need to know the length of stroke to travel the desired distance (making sure the pace remains the same).

I know. I feel kind of silly having not done this over the years. I actually just thought of it one evening, but can't for the life of me figure out why I wouldn't have thought of long, long ago.
