Re: Long Game vs. Short Game - What Matters More?
I haven't read the article yet, but from my experience:
I play regularly with the same 3 or 4 guys. Averaged over time I will score between 3 and 10 shots better than them (my handicap is 19 BTW). They all are as long or longer than me off the tee. They are all longer with their irons than me. Driving accuracy is much of a muchness between us (with the exception of one who is ridiculously wild). But I am MUCH more consistent inside 100 yards - more consistent pitching and chipping, much better sand play, and competitive putting.
So I vote short game.
On the other hand, if I was 50 yards longer off the tee and as accurate as now, I'd score better too.
