How are counted the putting statistics?

Question

Does a put from the fringe counts in the putting stats or it's only the shots that are played on the green?

Answer 1

A "putt" is deemed as any stroke taken from the green.

Using a putter from the fringe is not a putt.

Using a wedge on the green is a putt.

Putts are then averaged out based on the basis of both "per round" and "per hole".

Answer 2

You dont have to CHIP!! GOOGIE and basically you can putt from the fringe and make them all day and have zero Putts.haha

Answer 3

Putting statistics are based solely on the number of total putts taken when the ball is on the green except that if a ball rolls off the green and the player must chip, that doesnt count  as a putt.
