Reasons to make the COMMITTMENT to PRACTICING your short game this season.
The BEST professionals only hit about 13 greens in regulation in any given round. And even your better-than-average guy with a 10 handicap only hits about 5-6 greens out of 18 in regulation. ("Regulation" means, of course, that you allow for two putts on every hole... so you have two strokes to hit the green on a par 4, one stroke to hit it on par 3s, and three strokes to hit the green on a par 5.)
Beyond realizing how crippling a poor short game can be, consider these irrefutable facts:
FACT #1: The average golfer takes 43% their shots with their short game!
FACT #2: You will NOT hit every green in regulation and therefore need to get up and down. (The average golfer only hits about 3-4 greens in regulation per round so that's roughly 14-15 up and downs you need!)
FACT #3: The short game is much easier to learn and master than the longer parts of the game such as full swings. (You don't need to have a ton of power.)

When we FAIL or Choke as a Golfer
When we fail or CHOKE as it is often called, please keep this in mind.To play well or achieve our daily goals in golf, we need to view the day as an opportunity to learn what we need to know or do better. Ultimate achievers know that if they aren't failing, they are not pushing themselves into positions to learn something new.
