The Short Game
When analyzing you golf play, think about how many time you missed the short vs. the long shot.
If the short game is suffering you may want to try this strategy I found at http://www.mlive.com/golf/index.ssf/2008/06/golf_tip_keep_the_ego_out_of_y.html
“Use a new strategy. Let's say that you hit your 7-iron 165 yards on your career best shot, and you hit your 7-iron in the 145-155 yard range eight out of 10 times and hit it 135 yards two out of 10 times. You are confronted with a 147-yard shot to the middle of the green. The green is 30 yards deep (average green size). That leaves you 132 yards to the front and 162 yards to the back. What will happen if you use your 7-iron for this shot?
1. Eight out of 10 times, you will hit the green and be within two-putt range.
2. Two out of 10 times, you're short and on the front of the green, possibly in three-putt range but better than being in the bunker (where you usually are).
3. And, on the rare time you hit that career 7-iron and go over the green, you'll take some confidence to your chip shot and knock it in for birdie.”
