Short Game Is SO Important
Man…how important is the short game in golf?
I am a prime example of this. I usually drive the ball very far and fairly straight, so I typically have a wedge in my hand on most approach shots.
If this is the case, why do I shoot in the low 80’s and sometimes high 70’s, and not in the low 70’s?
Short game!
As I have mentioned many times before…my putting sucks! I easily lose 5-6 strokes every single round from putting. How about you? Do you make your putts? I’m talking about the realistic ones. The 3-4 footers.
I have even gone to the range and practiced my putting and STILL miss them on the course.
The bottom line in golf is getting the ball “in the hole!”
If you are having difficulty with your driving distance, then that really adds to the mix and can make for a long round of golf. This is definitely when you want to work on your body via golf fitness.
Either way…we keep going at it don’t we?
