hi
what the most importand part of the game,
1. putting.
2, short game.
3, driving.
4. mid irons
5 long irons

why do i think it in this order.
puting.
if you are a good to very good putter then you will sink 25% of putts from 10 feet and 50% of putts from 6 feet.
if avg or poor putter then you will only sink 5% of putts from 10 feet and only 20% from 6 feet.
thats a diffrence of 20 shots from 10 feet and 30 shots from 6 feet.

short game
if you can put the ball with in the 10 foot mark and you are a good putter then you will make or save over 25% of your shots. if your have a poor short game you will be putting the ball outside the 10 foot mark and have less than 25% chance of making the putt even if a good putter and little chance if a bad putter less than 5%.

driving.
if you can put the ball on the fairway most of time you give yourself a good chance of making the green, from the rough you cut the % by almost half. being on the fairway is more important than being long and in the rough.

mid irons
i think if good with mid irons you can save more shots than with the long irons, you tend not to hit as many long irons in a round as mid irons and i think it what you use most in a round you should be good at.

the aim to be good in all 5 and at least be avrage in 3,4, and 5 and good in 1 and 2.

what do you think????
