I'd say so!

I bring this up because something occurred to me this weekend...my scores are starting to catch up (within 3-6 strokes per round) to my 2 partner's however they both much better than me. One plays SGI Cleveland Launchers and the other plays Titleist CB's. I play my Di11's and aim to hit the ball as straight as possible whereas these two seem to love to hit every draw/fade combination known to man. While it's cool to see I notice that too often they'll slightly overcook it one way or another and end up off the green leading to a chip, and 2 putt for a bogey. They both have the potential for very exciting rounds but more often than not they end up with plain jane mid-low 80's. When they want they can hit the ball straight and get great scores but their insistence on hitting "show shots" has led to me catching up to them. They used to always beat me by a dozen or so strokes...this weekend we played at the 3rd hardest public course in the country (according to an issue of GD) and I took the front 9 and dominated the par 3's. I had a mini blowup on the back and ended up losing by 4 and 2 strokes but someone like me should not be seriously competing with them I feel like.
