hi bill
all components of the game have equal importance.
if one part of your game is weak then your scores will suffer as i found to my cost this weekend!
i played a course for the 1st time par73 very long.
if i could putt i would have had a score of around 90 unfortunately it ended up 107 basically tee to green very good but too many 3 putts
very annoying to be on in 2 on a par5 and then only par the hole!
my main focus of practise this winter is putting
