if you had the choice

[andiritchie]

if you had the choice of either the perfect driver 300 down the middle everytime or the the perfect putter leathal from 15ft and in what would you choose

 

[Timberbonce]

Defo the driver for me... wayward drives are what kill my card everytime ....and putting's much easier to practice.

 

[surefire]

No brainer, Putter every time.

300 Yard drives look good, but if you holed everything from within 15ft, you could be teeing off with a 7 iron and still make pars.

Now if you can hit your driver 200+ you're looking at some birdies too!

Putter for me, as the saying goes

Drive for show, putt for dough.

 

[OldWindy]

Gotta be putting based on the fact I can't putt!

 

[Bossman96]

No contest, putter all the way.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Putting for me too. Since the acquisition for the princely sum of £0 from AG my new odyssey 2ball blade has been awesome. I am holing more 3-6 footers than I ever did before and now seem to be getting more and more of those 8-15 foot ones you know you should be making every so often but never seem able to.

Has to be the putter-look at the stats on the European Tour:
Putts per GIR-top 10--Dougherty,Scott,Chowrasia,Howell,Harrington,Fasth,Chopra, Westwood,Goosen,Els.
Driving Distance-top 10--Alves Garcia,Chopra, Backstrom, Waring,Cabera Bello,Pilkington,Haig,Nilsson,Scott,Eliasson.

Cabera Bello is a prime example he is in the top 10 driving distance, top 10 in GIR but 144 in putts per GIR, whereas Westwood leads GIR and top 10 in putts per GIR.

putter, putter, putter, putter Batman.....

 

[madandra]

Flat stick for me too.

 

[MVP]

Putter with out a doubt

I already have the driver!!!
lol

 

[SS2]

Putter. For sure.

 

[brendy]

Driver for me. There is no point holing out with a single putt every time for double bogeys when the driver/tee shot is letting you down.
Getting the ball into a scoring position in the first place is key.

 

[USER1999]

I'll go with Brendy. If you can't get to the green before the card is wrecked, you are not going to score however many putts you hole. Added to which, my putting is normally one of my better skills.

 

[TonyN]

Putter for me, I can normally make most green in regs but am always outside of 15ft. Too many 2 and 3 putts wreck my card!

 

[viscount17]

putter might save me 12+ shots a round, driver 5 or 6, it's the bit in the middle that I need!

 

[Ken_A]

Driver - its the really weak part of my game at to moment - It is soul distroying putting the first OB then getting par/birdie with the second ball.

 

[Deleted member 1147]

It is actually quite a tough one this!!

The more fairways you hit and the shorter your second shot the more likely you are to have birdie/eagle chances.

But, the more 15ft putts you get the better your chances of getting those bidie/eagles if you're in the correct position in the correct number of shots. Or to save par when in trouble.

Personally I'd take putting - but because normally I'm a good driver and poor putter.

If I was the other way round though, I'd take the driving. It's all subject to your normal game!!

 

[HTL]

Putter please, Where can I buy one from?

 

[wilf_74]

Putts that drop from 15 feet please. As my GIR is good, making those Birds would make all the difference.
