One more reason, in TGM parlance, is that the short game is a path to the long game. A chip may use one accumulator, a pitch 2 and the total motion 3. This additive approach is one reason why the swings of chips are miniature drives. TGM was singular in this approach among commonly known Golf methods of the day. It is much easier and beneficial to practice chips for an hour, pitches for an hour and you long game for just a fraction of the time. Each accumulator can be given a good going over one at a time.
just my 2c.
