One thing I’ve noticed about my own game over the past couple years is that if you have a strong short game, you can still score well.
Last Friday at Passaconaway in Litchfield I struggled but I chipped in three times (once for birdie, twice for par). Ended with a +3 74.
Last Monday I had nothing at Overlook in Hollis. I played from the wrong hole 6 times, hit 1 fairway and I don’t think I had a birdie putt inside 40 ft all day. But my putter was working and I shot the ugliest +5 76 the course has ever seen.
All this to say boys & girls to practice your short game!
