Far too often during my days of instructing as I stop to survey our fabulous practice facility I see a site that makes me shake my head in wonder… The driving range full of well meaning, yet white knuckled ‘want-to-be long drive champions’ trying to smash their drives to the highway and beyond, and not a sole at either of our two beautiful practice putting greens, the chipping green, or the greenside bunker.
The single best way to lower the numbers on your score card is to spend at least as much time working on your short game as you do hitting balls on the range. Next time you head out to practice; do yourself and your scorecard a huge favor by just pulling out your putter and your wedges and leaving the rest of your clubs in the trunk of the car. Let me finish by reminding you of one of golf’s great truths…
‘He or She who hath the best short game wins’…
Play well, Dave Lengyel
