What to Practice - Especially During the Winter Months
I was recently asked to speak at golf show on what golfers can do to lower their scores. Here's a summary of my discussion.
That moment when you realize you’re officially addicted to golf: You’re replaying your entire round in your head, analyzing every club choice, every swing, and every shot. Was the 7-iron the right call? Should I have gone for the driver on that par 4? Welcome to the obsession. It’s more than just a game now—it’s a way of life
Consider this - The average golfer hits 96 shots a round. With putting being the most frequent shot during the round and in golf period. There are an average of 40 putts per round and average of 19 wedges per round. (You see where I’m going with this.) That’s 62.5% of every golfer’s shots per round. You’ll take about 14 irons shots and between your hybrids, woods and driver there are 21 shots per round.
With all that data what does the average golfer practice? How is their golf club set configured? I know everybody out there is talking about what's most important? What’s the best way to lower my scores?

Well I say wedge game first and foremost, because you know what, if you truly want to improve, if you hole these 19 shots, you’d save 40 strokes. All the putts would go away if you holed your wedges and you would just hit much better wedges into the green and one putt of them, 19 strokes would go away, and if your wedge game is just a little better and you one putt just half of them you’ll drop 9 strokes.
If you truly want to improve you have to embrace this concept, no wait this fact. The better players have a good short game and putt well. Look at how dominant it is. By the way, it’s not how good a putter you are, it’s where you're putting from, isn't it? Now get to work!
