"To make a PAR on a hole, you usually need to only hit one good shot. This could be an approach, chip, putt, etc.. To make a BIRDIE, two good shots are usually needed."
This seems very simple, but is is a little different way to look at PLAYING the game. I was told this by former Ryder Cup Member, Dave Ragan.

....totally agreed, but i was thinking the "2 good shots" have to be with a mid iron or less club........
just looking at alot of the pro's bomb away with the drivers,Tiger in particular, gets into all kinds of places
but they make excellent shots with mid irons and wedges

I see what you are saying. However, a long perfectly positioned DRIVE, followed by an IRON to 3 feet= BIRDIE, or maybe EAGLE. A good DRIVE, then a fair IRON to 25 feet, then a 25 foot PUTT... GOOD DRIVE & GOOD PUTT. You can do this all different ways.
