Where should you focus your effort to improve your game? Golf Digest published an article quoting a Columbia University professor Mark Broadie who presented the case that “putting has been overvalued for far too long”. He points out that the top tour pros in a tournament putt within 1 stroke of each other. “The long game explains two thirds of scoring.”
In support of the professor’s comments at the same MIT Sloan Sports Analysis Conference, Tiger Woods, Justin Rose and Hunter Mahan’s swing instructor, Sean Foley said, “Distance is far more of an indicator [of success] than accuracy,”
DON’T LET STATISTICS FOR THE PROS DISTORT YOUR GAME! What may work for the top fraction of golfers has no relevance for your game. The professor sited comments in his book: EVERY SHOT COUNTS. Guess what, every shot does count!
If you are in the other 99% of golfers, you SHOULD spend time working on EVERY swing in YOUR game.
> Body rotation, wrist lag and delaying the release all come into play to increase club head speed and to gain more distance.
> A controlled transition, consistent swing plane, relatively stable head position and straight arm swing are so critical for consistent impact with the ball.
> Choosing the right swing (ie to pitch or chip) and right lofted club are so critical for distance control.
> Learning shots out of the ruff and traps to build confidence and get the ball close for a single putt.

Case in point: Justin Rose is currently the best ball striker. Why isn’t he winning every tournament?
