Although I am fighting my swing at the moment, I would say the strongest part of my game is driving.

The weakest part of my game at the moment is from 100 and in.


I swear that I would rather be 150 out than 100 and in.

For me, the strongest is my putting. I almost always 2-putt and sometimes when I putting well, I can manage a 1-putt. Im usually pretty good at reading the break and the speed of the green, so my 2nd putt is almost always a tap-in.
The weakest part for me would be hitting my driver. Im yet to be able to hit that club effecitvely and consistently. I usually end up hitting a low slice with it.

Strong: Driving
Weak: Short Game

Lately, all of my iron shots have been way off target, and a lot of mishits. To add further, I can shank my chips and pitches occasionally, and I also just recorded my first high putt round of the year.

From best to worst:

Short game and inside 100 yards
Driver
140-180 yard range

All summer I've been working on the driver, hybrid 18* and short game. Consistently putting the ball in play off the tee and eating up the yards to the green have always been a weakness in my game. Practicing the driver/hybrid has eliminated the need for the longer shots that I'm probably not going to be able to make work anyway.

Seeing an improvement in how solidly I'm hitting the ball and also seeing a reduction in score from the practice in those areas.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

It varies day to day for me. Sometimes I drive the ball well and hit good irons, but I can't seem to putt that day. Sometimes I putt great, but struggle to get off the tee. Of driving, irons, and short game; I will typically have 2 out of the 3 working great and struggle with the other.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

Strongest: 100 yards and In
Weakest: Getting there

I can't hit my driver(hopefully my new draw spec will help) and I can't hit anything higher than a 5 iron(hopefully my new hybrids will help).

Strongest at the short game: putting, chipping & pitching

Weakness is length off the tee..I hit it straight but not nearly as long as I wish

You can talk to a slice, but a hook doesn't listen.

Depends on what day of the week it is. Some days I hit it long and straight off the tee and can really get it done with the fairway woods. Other days I hit the irons 5-9 well. Most days I suck at both, but usually putt well. Chipping is ok, pitching is usually horrible.

Putting, especially lag putting. I rarely 3 putt, about once every two rounds, except in the early spring when greens are rough and slow. I lack length, I don't feel it hurts me much except on longer par 4s, but I could hit some 6-7 irons into par fours and short irons into par 3s I feel I would drop 4-6 shots a round.

Same story with me.

From within 100 yards is your opportunity to hit it to 1 putt range...unfortunately...i only do that like once a round

Fairway woods are definitely the weakest. Even when I played to a 3 in my teens I couldn't hit the long clubs off the deck. My natural swing is a descending blow with healthy divot and I've never been able to adjust and sweep the fairway woods.

I can remember my best rounds from that period when I actually hit some decent 3 woods off the turf. I'd allow a private chuckle and think, "wow, this really is my day."

In recent years I've carried 2 drivers, no fairway woods, and an old Cobra Oversize driving iron at 17 degrees. That thing is a gem for my tendencies. I can blast it higher and more consistently than any fairway wood I've ever owned. Only in the past half year have I been experimenting with hybrids, with erratic results. The best shots are awesome but frequent screaming hooks.

Strongest would be 6 iron through wedge. I get much more distance compared to my long game and my swing fits those clubs, with a nice draw albeit not as dependable as my youth. Admittedly, confidence plays a huge role. I'm not thinking about anything but the flag when I grab those shorter clubs.

Best: Wedge game. With any wedge I can stick it close.
Worst: Iron play. I hit a lot of fat shots lately.

Pretty satisfied with my driving lately, no matter if it's the driver, 3 wood, or 3 hybrid.

VERY unsatisfied with my putting. 18 on the front today, 22 on the back with 3 three putts.

    • You all are right, its not that big of an issue, I'll leave it alone, especially after looking at that picture of Tigers beat up putter. But I also noticed the small circle worn on the sweet-spot where he hits it every time, I definitely don't have one of those. Thanks for the replies   
    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
