The law of my short game... (Probably plagiarised from some golf web page, but, I'll run with it...)

If I can putt, I'll putt...
If I can't putt, I'll chip...
If I can't chip, I'll pitch...

Now, all I need is the self discipline to apply whoever's law that is...

Of course, each step in the decision making process for the above rule takes into consideration lie, ground condition, hazards in play etc etc...

Not to mention my lack of confidence in my own short game...
