I suspect that a strict progression through putting, chipping and pitching to reach the full swing would give a much sounder grounding in the fundamentals.

Any thoughts on this from the Pros?
I don't remember where I read it, but the writer wrote that pitching is just a full swing on a smaller scale (so that if you learned short game first, the full swing ended up being just an extension of said shortgame).
