What I want to know is what is the worst part of your game?
Also, why do you think it is the worst part of your game?
And finally, what are you doing to fix it?

Hi,
I am an 8 handicap golfer who has a terrible short game from about 20 yards out. Having said that I am a really good putter which is just as well. How do I know this well the ball never or very rarely finishes close to the pin. I have spent many hundred of hours (and I am not joking about this) on the short game area but have not managed to resolve the problem. Now I use my putter from 20 yards out and have had a lot of success with this shot.
Regards,
Stuart

1. rushing, i tend to play at 100mph, need to take my time over shots(chipping and putting)
2. all in the mind, distracted very easily(I need to hire a sports pyschologist)
3. leave my mobile phone at home(so wife, work cant phone me), tend to play better in 4 balls when the pace is slowered

Same as Stuart my short game until recently, i have started using a 5 or 7 iron around the green.I now feel confident in this shot and its something that i havent practise ,its just come natural i treat it like a putt which is the best part off my game ...ive never liked short chips,could never judge how much power to use so it would go 5yards or 50.....

Some days my driving is On, and the second shot is off, or the short game is on and the long game is off, there are times though (not too frequently) when the driving is on, the second shot is on, the short game is on, putting is on, then the alarm clock goes off...
Seriously I've only just begun to hit fairways from the tee, so still getting used the choosing the second shot that I can manage instead of trying for something that is outside of my capability... managing my own expectation of my own capability... it would help if I could reconcile myself to playing the shots I can do, as opposed to the shot I want to.
