Driver Vs Putter (Ii)

On the flipside of this though, if you put your golf ball in the rough, behind some trees, in the sand trap, or even out of bounds, you're looking at trouble. Now you have to hit some really good shots to even get a bogey or double bogey.

 

If you've hit your Titleist Pro V1x golf ball out of bounds you'll have to go back to the tee box and hit all over again, along with having penalty strokes added to your score. Your score could easily rise up to a 7-8 or even higher. That is why hitting a good drive off the tee box is so important if you want to score low.

 

Even with this said, there is no other part of your golf game that can save you more strokes than your Odyssey White Hot XG #5 Putter. Good putting makes for good scores. You can eliminate several strokes off your score just from keeping away from the 3-putt greens. Many times your 3-putts can add 4-5 strokes to your golf round.

 

As for me, the real bottom line to this is that both driving and putting are equally important to your golf game. You must practice them both and try to improve. You will need both good putting and driving to help you lower your golf scores. Both golf clubs you should practice to swing with. Spend time out on the driving range working with your driver. Then go to the practice putting green and spend some quality time working with your putter. Use most of that time hitting putts from 3-4 feet. By mastering putts of this length you'll notice a dramatic improvement in your golf scores.

 

Above all, make golf a fun experience no matter how good, or how bad you're playing.
