and still shot a 90 :( Yes, it was due to my short game folks.... It sucks because I have been focusing more on it than before, but I still have some work to do. It's amazing how well I was striking the ball yesterday, but man I could not chip the ball close to the hole and hit a couple of close pitch shots thin and man did it add up the strokes. Work on the short game folks :)
Soooo true. Hit 10 fairways today...9 greens...shot 80...had 35 putts! (yuch) and of the 9 greens I missed, got it up and down only 3 times. I gotta lot of work to do on my short game!
Tom and Mojo, Since I went to the 3 day school in February my swing is being revamped, needless to say I really depend and practice on my short game to make up the difference. My last 5 rounds I have been fortunate to average 27 putts and get up and down within 30 yards 60% of the time. Tom I wish I had your short, compact, Moe-like smooth swing with my irons. Until I do however, I will continue to spend 75% of my practice time on and around the greens. Enjoy the journey guys. Walt
