Since I seem to hit greens in regulation most of the time, I have to opt with make every putt. I shot a 74 a couple of weeks ago while missing 10 out of 11 birdie putts. The majority of which were 10 feet or less.

this is a tough one. you could hit every GIR but it would not guarantee you a birdie or even a bogie in some cases, and you could 1 putt on every hole but as other people have said if its for a seven then its pointless taking the 1 putt. but if you made half of the GIR you would have 9 birdies which is pretty good

For me it's gotta be GIR. Reaching every green giving yourself 2 putts for par... that's clutch. I usually only have a 3-putt or two per round now but I barely ever break 50% on GIR. If I could guarantee that I'd always be 2 putting for par.... I'm giddy just thinking about it

However, when listening to Peter K and the gang on the PGA network on XM they say the main difference between Nationwide tour players and PGA tour players is the ability to drain putts from longer distances. So I'm willing to bet if you asked any of them they'd said putting.

Make every putt and you just scored 18 putts per round, even the pros would be happy with that statistic.

Hit every green in reg for me. You can make every putt but if it's for a 7 it really doesn't matter. Hit every GIR and even if you 3 putt half of them you still shoot +9. Any decent putting at all and you are in the 70's every single time.

Amen, brother!

I'd go with greens being that I'm pretty good with every part of my game except alignment, which constantly screws me over and it should be the easiest part of the game. Also I've seen rounds where pros have hit every GIR and in the interview say they haven't been putting well but still shoot a 66.

I just played yesterday with my friends, 2 high cappers like me and one who's actually won a class C tournament. Actually won against him, thanks to one putting most of the holes. It was my best putting ever, so I'd go with putting.

I voted GIR

The way I see it is that Approaches are the most spectacular part of the game and also the one requiring the most skill/gift.

Regardless of the score, I wish to become a good Iron/wedges player.

Lost Ball has up & down days putting and a long putt can really put a smile on Lost Ball's face

I would rather hit every green in regulation, because even if you 2 putt every green then that is par.

    • Because of the 68.4-72 part. If he shoots 10 over par (his course handicap), he will have shot his index. You don't factor par in when you calculate the differential, but you do when you calculate the course handicap. That's where the difference comes in. It works symmetrically: guy shoots 82 and gets a 12.4. Guy plays off a 12.4 and… has to shoot 82.

    • I'm the commissioner of a golf league and am often asked about why someone's handicap is this or that or why it's going down or why it's not going up. Those kinds of questions can easily explain but this one has me struggling to come up with a logical answer. I understand the formulas to calculate the course differential for individual rounds, the handicap index that results after averaging the best 8 differentials of the most recent 20 rounds and finding the course handicap for an individual round. What I don’t understand is the logic. Here’s an example: Suppose a golfer plays the same course all the time. Let’s say it’s a Par-4, the Course Index is 68.4 and the Slope is 124. If someone shoots an 82, assuming no adjustment, the differential for that round would be (82-68.4) X (113/124) =12.4. Let’s further assume the average differential of his best 8 rounds is also 12.4. Now, if he goes back to that same golf course, his Course Handicap will be 12.4 X (124/113)+(68.4-72) = 10. I understand the math...that's pretty simple. I don’t understand the logic. Why aren’t they the same?
    • Day 5 - Old Macdonald Of all the courses, this one to me, played the most like a link course should play. Huge greens, plenty of room to play the ball down. This one was super fun to play.  Hole 3 is super cool, you tee off up and over this big dune, and at the top you get view of the nearly the entire course. It's like, here you go, enjoy.  I would rate this one 8.5/10 I think every one should play Pacific Dunes, but if I had to say which ones I think people would enjoy the most.  1. Bandon Dunes 2. Bandon Trail 3. Old MacDonald 4. Pacific Dunes.  Pacific Dunes is so demanding. For me, I enjoyed Old MacDonald and Bandon Dunes the most, but I think Pacific Dunes is the best course out there.  Some photos...
