Re: Long Game vs. Short Game - What Matters More?
I read the article... scanned it really. I think it was more or less an intellectual exercize, an attention getter that counters conventional wisdom. If one were to delve into the raw data, criteria and models he used to form his assumptions, my guess is there are significant logical gaps. Unless one is has a very low handicap(in which case you already have a darn good short game) or a very high handicap... say > 35(in which case you're having trouble making decent contact on your full shots)... which is to say 90% of all golfers, your biggest gains will come from concentrating on 100 yards in and the closer the better.
