One of the head pros I worked for couldn't hit 14 greens in a good round but he chipped and putted so well if he did hit 14 greens it was 66-68 all day

Tour pro's hit 13-14 greens at championship distances. Obviously i'm playing regular courses, which are not exceptionally hard. I drive the ball pretty long, so on most courses save from their toughest holes, I have less than 130 in; often times 30-100 yards.
My chipping is pretty solid, its my putting thats brutal. The only birdies I make are inside 3 feet usually. I'm capable of 3 putting from anywhere, I struggle with 3-5 foot putts all the time. Friends laugh at me because i've conceded trying to make birdies and anything outside of 10 feet I just lag up there so I don't three putt.
I'll never forget I had a high school golf match a long long time ago... we played 9 hole matches. I hit all 9 GIR, shot 38 on a par 35. It was a pretty special day.
