To win a really big tournament, ball striking aside, all you need to do is make 99% of the short ones and then make three putts each day THAT YOU NORMALLY DON'T MAKE.

Also remember your mechanics.

Sustain your lag,

VJ - thanks for all of your contributions to this site! This is really, really good stuff. I am going to put this to work immediately.

By the way, I wonder if the same type of practice could work with the full swing? Work on some drivers to ensure you have the tee shot grooved, then work on wedges. Hmmmm......
