Re: most important parts of the game

hi
i find putting the most important as you cant recover from a bad putt and you can recover from a bad drive, if you miss a putt that shots lost forever and its a instant shot lost, with a bad drive or mid iron you always have a chance to put it on the green and have a one putt to save, i know this as its the way i use to play when i was a bad putter.
i now trust my putting game to save me shots and working on my short game lot more now too.
i use to go to the range and hit 150 ball and most with my driver but it did not help my game a bit, only when my putting improved did my score get lots better and my overall game improve, i still only drive a ball 260 yds with the run on it but thats far enough as it on the fairway most of the time. my mid aand long irons are ok but could be better, but i want to have a good short game for start of next year and will work on that and my putting too through the winter months.
i know i will gain more with a good short game and a good putting game.
one think i have learned since i started to putt good it i dont have to aim at the pin and i can look to hit the middle of the green knowing i will two putt. and if i know the green aim for what will give me a flatish or uphill putt.
