When I began playing in high school,noticed many friends had much better ball striking ability compared to me but had same experience playing as me. They werent any good (105-110?),but struck ball decent with driver and irons. I couldnt hit it 10 feet with irons. This lead me to more many hours at putting and chipping/pitching green where I knew I’d at least hit ball.
I know everybody is different, but for average bogey golfer ,how many out of 10, 150 yard 5 iron shots hit the green? Is this the bread and butter for a average player? or at least a shot where they rarely chunk or top?
I have been in mid 80′s for a year with so/so ball striking,so curious where I measure up/or is my short game just that good(3 putt maybe 1 hole for dbogey per round,most chips/flops go to at least 3 feet)
you can get your answer with the experience guy who is playing golf from high school.if u r a average bogey golfer then practice of shots make u good player.
