Can’t hit the green in
regulation? |
|
How many times do you
loose your cool when your approach shot
fails to find the putting surface in
regulation? You might be interested to know
that even the top European Tour Pro’s can’t
manage a flawless round all the time. |
|
Paul Casey |
Take Sergio Garcia for
example during the 2006 European Tour. He
managed to hit just over 86%, whereas Paul
Casey made close to 76% and Ernie Els 74.5%.
Now compare that to the
strokes per round of the three with Sergio
averaging 67.5, Paul just under 70 and Ernie
exactly 70. |
Sergio
Garcia |
|
The message is clear – these guys have got
something special around the greens. The
ability to get the ball in the hole when all
has not gone to plan is what places them
amongst the golfing elite. |
|
The
Big Easy |
So next time you suspect your game
is going to pot just because you
fail to make the green in regulation
remember – you’re not alone. Golf is
a game of misses. What counts is the
score you make. If you take your
game seriously take a leaf from the
book of Europe’s best and get
practicing on and around the green. |
