Though it rained in the morning, my friend and I were able to get in a round of golf at a local course. It was great fun, but infuriating. Thus is golf.
I'm not a good player. I shoot over 100. Yesterday I shot 124. It could have been worse. The thing that was infuriating is this. My friend keeps track of the putts (He shoots in the 70's and 80's.). He likes to know how well he's doing on the greens. I guess this is helpful information. So, at the end of the day he told me how many of my strokes were puts. 40. 20 on the front nine. 20 on the back nine. The other 80+ strokes is my inability to keep my head down when I swing...or my inability to let my hands roll over...or some other foolishness.
Sigh.
I putt pretty well. That's something.
I guess.

Posted by: Tripp at July 23, 2008 07:18 AMWhen you consider a two-foot putt is worth the same on your card as a 200-yard drive, putting well is a very, very good thing.
Let's see, does he also keep track of "tee shots in fairway" or "greens in regulation?"
Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible is a wonderful book.
