What's the strongest part of your game

For me it's my putting. I am significantly better than my playing partners at putting.... it just takes me significantly longer to get to the green at the moment. But I am working on it and seeing the results!
 
Mmmm. I'm pretty mediocre across the board.

Probably irons, strike them reasonably well.

Weakest is anything under 100 yards, my short game is disastrous.
 
Putting all the elements together. Not amazing at any one part; not particularly long, accuracy reasonable, short game solid etc. etc. but have managed to find a way to get it all working together pretty well I guess.

Not unlike me then

Do you mean a lower number of putts means better or is it on other measures?

If number of putts, have you compared number of putts (only when you hit a GIR) to your PP's putting when they do the same. If you were able to do this do you think you would still be a better putter than them?

The rational being that if like me it takes an extra shot (or two) to reach the green your last shot onto the green will likely be a chip/short pitch which should be closer to the hole than another player using a 5 iron into the green which in turn makes putting easier and requires less putts

I have a best of 26 putts this season (off 23 h/cap) but as I said earlier I used my extra shots getting onto the greens
 
Strongest part of my game is my driving by miles hitting fairways regularly, might not be long but reasonably straight.

My putting and short game are pathetic and cost me shots galore.
 
Driving and long irons definitely my strong point, my short game especially my putting has become atrocious recently, but a new putter and finally a few brighter nights to get a bit of practice in is helping.
 
I'm annoyingly average at everything. Nothing stands out. I can just as easily miss a 3 footer, spray a drive or chunk a wedge/iron
 
I don't have any particular strength but if i had to choose my best suit it would be driving ( not long at all but generally in play ). My extreme weakness is par 3 tee shots.....it just all goes to pot and my chipping is fairly dire too hence me using the texas wedge whenever possible.
 
I would have said between 75 and 100 yards before looking at my stats, but according to GAME Golf, my best distance is between 100 and 125, where in my last 5 rounds I've hit target 56%, which I'm fairly happy with. Major weakness is putting. Lost at least 9 shots putting in my last 2 rounds of 18, which just isn't good enough.

I'd probably agree with this. I wouldn't say an extreme weakness is par 3 tee shots, but trying to give myself a decent opportunity of a 2 is very rare, and would be considered an accident. 2 of our par 3's come very early in the round (1st and 3rd), one at the 11th (which is over 200 yards off the whites) and then at the 16th...so I guess I'm not into the 'swing' (no pun) of the round yet, so not firing on all cylinders. I don't know..but it's odd
 
Strongest part of my game until the last moth has been my putting, although it's gone to pot in my last 4-5 rounds,

Right now, according to Game Golf, I'm hitting fairways and greens regularly, and don't often miss the green from 150 in, so driving and 7-W at the moment would have to be my strength.

Probably be something different in a few more rounds though.

In summary, my inconsistency is probably the strongest facet of my game ATM.
 
225 to go and its anything up to a 6 iron depending on what is waiting for me, then hopefully a simple chip/run to the green

as for strongest part of my game, I'm normally average at everything,
