Where are you losing strokes?

THINK!!! Think!!! COME ON…, Where are you losing strokes? Now, either realize it yourself or find someone to show you what is going on. Come on, it’s got to be driver, irons, short game, or putting. Be truthful. Now, go out and practice. *I’m not going to say anything here. Notice, I put a great deal of emphasis on scoring, not swinging the club. There are enough books and theories about swimming a club, but hardly anyone ever talks about scoring, or what it takes to score. They kind of leave it to you. What makes you think you know how to get the ball around the course? I once played a round of golf with a 15 handicapper who watched me shoot 73. I had not played golf in almost six months, but I did it as a favor for one of my brothers. Because my skill level was in question, I played to the fat of the fairways and greens and two-putted them, made the occasional birdie and bogey. I even had a ten-footer for birdie on the eighteenth hole but blew it. A year later, a friend of mine came up to me and said, “Do you know the guy you played with last year and shot 73?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “You are not that good of a player.” I said, “Okay, I’ll bite.” He said, “All you do is keep the ball in play and two-putted.” I said, “He’s an idiot.” Later, I would run into the guy who told me that after watching me play he’d gone down from that 15 to an 8 because now he knows how to maneuver the ball around a golf course. I still think he’s an idiot, but at least he was smart enough to watched and learned.
