If I'm holding my putter, and I'm trying to get it (realistically) into the basket, it's a putt. If I'm just trying to get it close it's either a drive or an approach.

Same, if I throw my putter, it's a putt. Maybe that's the golfer in me.I like this explination. I count a putt as anything I throw with a putter minus a tee shot. That way the putt includes approaches as well for me. I figure if I am starting to throw a putter the disc should be in the basket in two throws or less.
Ball golf question...
If you're on the putting green but 70 ft from the hole and you use a chip shot, does that count as a putt? (I know it's not a DG related question but I am curious.)
For my purposes of tracking putts on DGCR it's a putt if...I have just started and want to track stats, but want to know, is there a consensus as to what distance from the basket defines what a putt is for statistical purposes? Call me anal, but the nerd in me is making me ask.
Most of my missed putts are awful layups...
^this. Good layups don't blow 30' past the basket or roll down a hill after falling off the rim of the basket.
