As I get older it becomes very obvious that Penick was right about the short game. If you can chip and putt you can make up for a lot of mistakes in the rest of your game.

My late father used to tell me "it's all about the short game". We practiced chipping and pitching in our backyard. I got better at golf by the time he was really aging and I could blow it by him off the tee, but he'd SLAY me with his control around the greens. I also got the 'truth' playing with my Mom. She was straight down the middle off the tee - 150 yards. Then she's poke another straight shot towards the green then chip on and putt her pay to a mid to upper 80's score round after round. I'd blow it by her off the tee on my way to a 95! Took me a while to realize this game is NOT about distance. Once I figured that out, my journey to my 8.02 index began.
