Early hours this morning I was flicking throught the TV Channels and caught a one hour “Wedge Special†on the Golf Channel with Dave Pelz.
He started the programme with 14 Clubs laid out on the ground, Putter, 3 Wedges, Driver and 2 Woods then 6 Irons, he then claimed over the last 10 years the average score in America (using PGA Data) 95.
He then took 95 Golf Balls and laid them out
Broken down as follows:
40 Putts
19 Wedge Shots
14 Drives
20 Woods/Irons
2 Random/Errors
Whether his stats are 100% I don’t know but he claimed it was.
Seeing it laid out this way really emphasised how important short game is to your score.
Of course all shots matter, but in terms of quick improvement at the average level, short game I would suggest is vital.
