This is a question OF different
opinions. The long, straight drive
is of great Importance, and the shot
to the green is still more important; !;
but remember about so per cent OF
your shots are with the putter, so
the putt is the most important shot
in the bag. A good putter is hard
man to beat, as he is always trying,
no matter how many shots he has
missed in approaching.
A putt missed is a shot lost-you
cannot redeem it. How many times
have you seen player fub his drive
on par four hole and then mess up
his second shot and play a chip shot
to about eight feet from the flag
and still make his four by holing the
putt? Again, the same player plays
two perfect shots to the green and
never takes over two. puts. You
can't beat him-that is all there is to
if. All championships are won and
lost around the hole. Listen to the
alibis after a championship or go to
tournament and hear them tell you
how many three and four footers
they missed. I know, I've done it
myself.
