Why Your Short Game Is So Important (Even If You Hit Bombs)

Listen, we love the long ball. Smacking a 300-yarder and watching it soar? Nothing better. Except… it doesn’t help if you chunk every chip and four-putt like it’s your job.
🏌️♂️ Fact: The pros spend 60–70% of their practice on short game. And they already know how to hit driver. Coincidence? Nope.
Here’s why short game matters more than your TikTok-worthy drives:
It’s Where the Strokes Live: You can recover from a bad tee shot. A bad chip + bad putt = double bogey sadness.
Scoring Magic: Get up and down from anywhere and suddenly you’re not just playing—you’re winning.
Confidence Booster: There’s nothing more soul-crushing than driving the green in two and then three-putting for bogey. Dial in your short game and your entire round feels smoother.
So yeah, bomb away. But also? Practice those 10-footers, bump-and-runs, and sand saves. That's where the real flex is.
