No isn't really - could you beat a Pro from 40 yards - yes. Could you beat one from 200 yards - no.

No it really is a different question, a very very different question.

No and no!
Good luck then at being no better than you currently are!
Wow. What a worrying number of replies demeaning the progress of someone on here you've never met (and who I know well and have seen improve significantly in the last two years). Remind me what tour you're on?? If not what handicap are you?
I can play quite well but know my limitations. If I had lessons and practised I'm sure I could and would improve but I am sure we could all say that - couldn't we?!

Homer post 40 on this thread is a great pitching video you would do well to try out. Could revolutionise your short game if you nail it.
Thanks for this. Have a plan in place for the pitching but I'll certainly take a look. At the moment I don't want to change any technique and muddy my own waters further

There is two ways in my mind to get the job done.
One is the strike down approach and the other is this. The slip the club in under the ball for a higher soft landing.
Its about knowing when to play each type of shot.
Good luck.

So you're telling me, without knowing my game at all, that I would improve by working on my long game? Genius advice that, don't give up your day job (I say desperately hoping for the sake of golfers everywhere that you're not a golf coach)

You seem to know everyone else's as well

No PGA pro sticks it on the green inside 20 feet every time. If you are watching them on TV and think that they do then you are defo deluded. TV only shows you the players doing well during that particular tournament. If you watched The Masters last week how many times did you see footage of the choppers at the back of the field?

I need your advice, should I work on my long game to hit more GIR or short game to get up and down more when I miss the green?

Now now Gordon.
Surely TomTom has a point that if your long game is on it takes a little pressure off the short game ,if the long game is off a good short game could help save par.
The other obvious answer is try and get good at both.

Both if you want to get lower.
if struggling with long game no hesitation I get the pros advice.
struggling with short game should be no different.
Its very hard to self diagnose.
who would you rather play in machplay guy who hits all the greens or a player who doesn't but gets up and down from everywhere, I find the latter harder to deal with but both are good at what they do.
You have identified your weakness that's the first step and would be silly not to address it if it makes you a better player.

Don't panic guys. There is nothing wrong with my long game. Tom is just trolling and I'm playing him at his own game.
