self-mastery
New
I currently spend the majority of my time working on the short game from 100 yards and in. For at least an hour a day, I'm trying to become a master of the pitch, chip, and putt.
I was watching the golf channel late last night, Jack Nicklaus was talking about how he didn't have a good wedge game and that he didn't need one. He went on to discuss how he used his longer irons as scoring clubs. I recall Hale Irwin saying something similar. If a golfer uses expert course management, why should he ever rely on more than a simple chip shot to score par or better? Is this possible, reasonable, and worthy pursuing?
One of my problems has been hitting the ball too low, my distance is fine, but my low darts don't stick to greens. My pattern change has me hitting the ball higher, but I'm planning on using a lil technology to ensure a higher green sticking trajectory. Wood-iron hybrids?
It sucks when you hit bullets that just roll through greens, G.I.R. missed..
I want my same distance with my same draw but more height... I need wings!
