There was a time when I thought that golf was about swinging and putting, and the short game was for the times when your swing didn\u2019t work that well. Damage control, I called it. No longer.<\/p>\n
About twice a year, my swing goes on automatic and I turn my 82 into a 77. I finally figured out that with a better short game I could turn those 82s into 77s every time out. Score when my swing isn\u2019t on fire. If I hit nine or more greens in regulation, I\u2019ll score low. I usually hit six, but I could still break 80 by getting more up and downs if I work on that part of the game. <\/p>\n
The point of golf is to get the ball in the hole, not to hit good shots. Why wait around for those golden days to have a low score? Why not have a good enough short game to shoot a low score most of the time? And when my swing is clicking, it could take me down to par.<\/p>\n
Sounds like a good deal to me.<\/p>\n
