Now the real trick is learning to be the guy that hits 12-14 greens and gets up and down 75% of the time

While I certainly agree the shortgame is 'the' key to obtaining the best score out of any given situation, I had a harsh reminder this weekend of how much driving alters the scorecard...

birdied 5 out of my first 10 holes with only 1 par and every bogey was the direct result of a bad tee shot. Granted, I could have saved at least two pars, but the others were really 'good' bogeys.
