Re: most important parts of the game

If you have read you Dave Pelz, he has examined this question exhaustively. I think the conclusion he arrived at was the short game was most important. From 100 yards out if you can consistently get it close to the pin, you will score high on the money list. I think Tiger is or was the best at this.

I think the answer to what is most important part of the game might be different for everyone. My long game, and from 100 yards in has improved a lot after a summer of golf lessons. I didn’t work on my putting thought, and my score has not come down dramatically. I almost always 3 putt or more; I can go over 400 yards with two shots and get on the green and then I four putt or worse. If I had spent some time on putting and less time on my driver and irons, I am sure that my score card would be better.
