Golfers are willing to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars in an effort to pick up a few measly yards on their drives. For the most part, this effort is misdirected. If you are helpless on the putting green, long drives are good for absolutely nothing. No one cares to hear you describe your booming tee shots. Golf is about the number that you turn in.
All good players are good putters.
Some good players are long. The first step in making this resolution pay off is an objective look at the way you putt. These are both signs of serious flaws in your putting stroke. If you're unsure, take a few balls and a half hour of your time and hit the putting green. It won't take very long to figure out.
