Most golfers miss 50% or more of the greens. Not hitting greens is a fact of life, not the result of poor course management, unless you are suggesting not going for the greens and laying up 80 yards out every time.

I think he's talking about not short-siding yourself, which

is a matter of course management. It's also partly a competency issue relating to your swing, too, because you can plan to miss left and still short-side yourself to the right if you really mis-hit the ball or something.

Yes, but you can decide where you can miss the green for e.g if you aim left edge of the green, with a fade, a descent golfer should be able to either hit a fade or just not draw it, so you know you wont miss the green left, where the danger is, hence not leaving yourself the hard flop shot.

Oh. Is that all there is too it? So all I have to do is aim at the fat part of the green and fade or draw the ball toward the pin so I'll never miss it on the short side. I wonder how I could also avoid coming up short of the green or going long over the back? Wait a minute, I got your answer... always hit the right club the correct distance!

You might notice a lot of professional golfers, when you see them on TV, ending up short sided, flopping shots or hitting little spinners from delicate distances. They do their best to not end up in those situations, but they still do. They must not realize how easy it is to avoid such circumstances. SubPar

I, for one, have added a callaway 64* x-forged wedge with MD grooves and love it. I may be overkilling the wedges concept a bit but I carry a 50, 54, 58, and 64...but the courses I play I am inside 150 on every 2nd shot, sometimes inside 75 yrds. So, again, for me it works, worth a try out if you have alot of shots inside 50 yrds. Like most of us, if it will shave strokes, I'll try it :)

    • Day 126: 5/1/24 Putting and chipping practice. Slow motion swings with 8-iron.
    • #4 - 1st hole at Kingsbarns I rolled in a 15 footer for birdie. Showed my caddie an old guy could still play a bit. #3 - 18th hole at Basin Harbor Club, Vergennes, VT. I had played matches against my nephew over the years. He had never beaten me although through the years he had become a long hitting teenage golfer. I was 1 up but bunkered near the 18th green. My nephew had a long putt for birdie. I splashed out of the bunker to 4 feet. He rolled his first putt close and I gave him the par. Sadly for him, I rolled mine in and won our last match. He went off to college and then Europe for a Ph. D. It was our last match. Family champion forever. #2 - First playoff hole in the City of Livonia, MI “65 & Over” division. I rolled in an 8 footer that broke about 4-5 inches. #10 Whispering Willows GC. #1  18th hole at TPC Prestancia, Sarasota, FL. A 4 foot slicing putt for par to beat the prior year’s Member/Guest winners and win the Member/Guest with my father at his club. I was having heart palpitations as I played the final hole solo when my father put two in the water. There was never a better golf sight for me when that ball dove into the hole.
    • Finally, wedges getting somewhere. This one a punch gap from 87 yards to about 12 feet. Contact and ball flight absolute restaurant quality. It's nice when grass comes back.
    • Tiger on the Today show today. At 3:25 he says he's working on keeping his arms in more and rotating his hips better. Nice. 
    • Day 11- Slow,  short swings with short practice club.
