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?

I lost count, but I think I had something like 6 three putts. That’s terrible!

Do you want to know the best of it? I still shot a 79 on a fairly tough course here in Scottsdale. Nothing to write home about, but I’ll take a day in the 70′s any day of the week.

How about you? I’m sure you’re a better putter than I am right? You’ve got to be.

I have tried putting drills. I even have a very expensive Scotty Cameron putter…so I can’t blame my equipment. LOL.

Oh well…I’ll keep hacking it up and trying my best.
