Coming off a two-win season in 2005 Irishman Padraig Harrington is a steady player. Can he live up to his potential?

I was just telling my brother this the other day. He is a horrible golfer that only gets out a few times a year.

I also should listen to my own advice, I recently got new irons and have spent a lot of time with them. Well this last week my short game has killed me, I need to find a more balanced practice routine

Excellent, thoughtful article, Dave. For someone short off the tee like me, your message is right on the money. My salvation is, and probably will always be, my shortgame. If my shortgame is on, my score is relatively low, like Quincy's. If my shortgame goes on vacation, well then, so does my score. Your article also points out that fine players, as well as those of us who live and die by our play from 100 yards,
should continue to refine their pitching, chipping and putting. I'm also finding that, additional to a good shortgame, smart course management often contributes to a lower score; read: fewer snowmen.

Thanks for the fine article.
