On a par 72 course, a scratch golfer will hit approximately 13 or 14 drives, 4 or 5 fairway woods or lay-ups, and about 12 or 13 approaches with mid or long irons (I'm including the par 3's here). The above accounts for about 32 strokes. The rest of the strokes played (40) are attributable to the short game...100 yards and in to the hole. Nevertheless, when you go to the range, often the loneliest place is the short game practice area.

Math doesn’t lie, the short game is the most important part of the game. What is your short game practice routine, and how often do you practice?
