Short Game Folks, Short Game

Alrighty everyone, today's lesson comes from a round I had today. I haven't played in about 2 and a half weeks, haven't even been able to pick up a club because I've been so busy. Now usually I'll hit about half the greens with so-so ball striking and my short game will bail me out so I end up shooting in the mid 70s.

Today was a bit different. I hit 8 greens, which I wasn't happy about, but not that bad. The sad part was, only 2 up and downs through all of those holes. Ended up shooting 80 because my short game was so rusty.

The lesson here, and I'll say it time and time again is: PRACTICE YOUR SHORT GAME, 60-70% of the time. It is the most precise part of the game. You have to be perfect here. This is where the ball goes in the hole.

It's ok to be a little off on your drives and iron shots and you're allowed some errors there, but around the greens, NO SIR!
